Need a breather

Worked through two weekends, a half day leave, and a public holiday after receiving the present in order to put together the material for the full day meeting yesterday.

Still have many configurations that I want to model, for what I deemed a complete assessment that is worthy of my own standard, but that's definitely not possible within the given time.

And if I say so myself, I have far exceeded expectation in the number of assessments I managed to complete in the given (lack of) time. Something that I regret on hindsight, because now the program manager will set even more ridiculous time period.

Should have just failed to produce any results since I was given less than my stated required time for thermal simulation turnaround. But my darn responsibility and personality simply cannot accept failure, this kind of attitude is absolutely not conducive to my health!

I was suffering from stress-and-lack-of-rest-induced headache for many days among the two weeks continuous non-break working days. So ya, it's a fact that my work and my attitude towards work are costing me my health.

Anyway, I could really use a breather now that the important meeting is over.

But... Added task from the meeting yesterday means the two weeks of work all over again. Need to write up the quarterly report for performance review by end of this week. Need to work on the technical leader stuff that manager roped me into by early next week. Need to complete the task of another project I promised will do after the meeting yesterday, something I promised two weeks ago, something they will follow up next week.

So ya, fat chance of having that breather.
