I didn’t post anything for the whole week. Nothing has been really exciting in the past 7 days.

The weather is still hot and is going to be over 40 degrees this weekend. They said this weekend NSW will be the hottest place on the earth. Can you believe it? Living in Canberra, thought we would never need an air con, but this year has been really bad.

I was absolutely flat out at the work, but still unsure how it was all picked up since a very long period of quiet time. We have one on maternity leave, one left the position, one constantly rang sick and another one’s mom is dying because of cancer. How could you expect a person who is always in tears and couldn’t get a good sleep at night to talk to clients on the phone at the office? So she was sent home. I took up the extra program early of this year, but I am doing kind of 4 persons’ job from time to time (recently getting worse), plus lots of regional forums, network meetings and home visits that I need to attend. The worst thing is, I don’t see any intention of our manager to get someone to act the absent staff’s positions:-(

I had been to too many training sessions in the last week. I was sick of it and wasn’t very cheerful for the time being over there; and I kept traveling in fields, will have to go to Cooma again next week.

Surprisingly enough, I didn’t keep losing my weight as I actually ate more generally to make sure I am not falling into the category of underweight, though I believe I am fat enough, comparing to most of Chinese girls.

I still knit, crochet and paint, and I try to relax all the time, just as I always do. I guess among all my good personal traits, the one that I should be grateful the most is that I know how to not let things get me.
