Relieved

I was told yesterday that the management disapproved my replacement for a conference in Macau. It was a huge relief for me. Not that I do not want to go but it was a tight year end schedule for me. I was scheduled for training in Montreal two weeks before Hari Raya and if I were to go to Macau, it will be a two weeks after Hari Raya. My IM is going, but he will not be able to present the paper. So, it was decided that I don’t have to go and I hope NA will send the paper to a journal instead of a conference. That side of the world was not in my book of travel. I forgo Sweden last June because I have less time to send approval paper and it was only a Poster presentation. I really hope one day I will get an oral presentation. I wanted to be known for my work but lately, I have less idea on what to write on.

 

Today is my relief day for the thesis. I was supposed to write on my research paper to be submitted to the School by end of the week. The deadline was already passed, but what the heck. I just pass it on. I am not doing my PhD, and I was given too much work lately that made me stress even more. I ended up chasing people two days back just to get those insurance and LC going. The shipment will be ready soon but I have not seen anyone doing the LC, so, I have to take over. Life is not a bed of roses lately. I have seen less of my husband, as he is also studying at the nearby university (but he has classes 3 times a week). I was too tired these few days but no one seems to understand that I need to rest. I’m thinking of having half day off today. Feel like to shop and go away from office. I am not sure what to do, but the work must be finished soon. I need to have this paper out by Friday at the latest. DrM will be mad, as well and DrA. Don’t care now.
