Pussyfooting

In the literal sense, I saw Pak Belang actually tiptoeing past Pseudo to get to the grub. Rugi I didn't have the camera with me right then.

As for me, it's struggling to mind my Ps and Qs in a new environment. So far, things are looking OK. Can't believe it's just been 2 days. Feel like I've been doing this forever! I have a number of projects on my plate, most of which are half-baked. Will need to kaotim them before the deadline, though. It looks doable, just hope nothing screws up in the last minute.

Had a rude reminder of how much pocket money one needs on hand when you are constantly driving around, parking, eating out, not to mention socialising with co-workers. I had to kick myself in the rear for going along to the "Italian Place". The cheapest option I had, a sandwich, cost me about fifteen bucks. Ouch! How I wish I had done the antisocial thing, cite the need to attend an event, and went to eat at the gerai tepi jalan then!

Urrrgghhh... am really in a tight corner right now, with F**king clients making a mountain out of a molehill with the AR translation job, which means, I haven't seen a single sen after 6 months of the 1st assignment and 4 months of the next. HW articles are scheduled to be out in September and October, which means I'll only get paid towards the end of the year. The IMR job is still half-done, and knowing these people, God knows when I'll see the money. The other project will also take time to complete.

The worst bit is, I'm left high and dry right now while waiting for this month's paycheck. Communal money I forked out to someone hasn't been reimbursed, right when I need it most. Reinforcements has not kicked in as yet. And I need to SPEND money in the process of going to work, feeding myself, attending events, etc. Could use a sugar daddy right about now, s'il vous plait...

Am praying that this works out. Will definitely do my best to deliver, but seriously hope nothing happens to jinx it. I need to deal with a lot of things, and I'm getting really sick of crawling along. I'm pretty sure my BP is sky high right now, so much to worry about. If only people would be so kind to pay me my f**king money, it would be so much f**king appreciated. [Cue exasperated groan]. Dammit. Kenot tahan oredy. Tension.
