Hectic days

Its 6pm HCM and i am still staring at my email inbox, with a big heavy thick file beside me.
What does this mean?
Overloaded? Busy?

These days, i m terribly busy. A colleague in my team left, others are inexperienced and I take care of the whole bulk of work. Mornings would be spent going around for appointments, afternoons would be spent in office meetings, evenings would be spent in front of my lappy. Where are those days of coffee/movies/dinners and drinks with Anh and frens?

Anh a is very busy too. He would leave his home for office at 7am, then go out to other provinces for work then return to the city only at 7pm. Often, when we eventually meet, it would be 8pm (730pm is earliest) and we would be dead tired. Dinner is no longer an enjoyable activity at restaurants, we would cook something simple or just takeaway.

Weekends are more enjoyable & relaxing, but I often nap the afternoons away and would only wake up at early evening. OMG! I am so piggy...oink oink :)

So, this is real life, heh? No wonder most ppl have no time/energy to date or get into a serious relationship > work occupies 80% of our time!!!!
