needed yesterday

have you ever felt you're always running behind life? that you're always trying to catch up?

work has been like that, as we try to overcome years of mismanagement and neglect, and then implement a better system. however, we spend so much time running around 'firefighting' - repairing, correcting, amending, changing - when do we ever put in the new system? most work-orders and purchase orders we write come with the tag - needed yesterday!

now my life is becoming like that too. i'm running around trying to get to so many things that i had to do yesterday! i just wonder where my time has gone. i used to be a very laidback person, 'take it easy' was my catchphrase in life. but now, i look in the mirror and i am not that person anymore. is this what having a professional career does to you?

i mean, look at me, up at 7 on a sunday morning, getting ready to go to work! but i have no regrets, the experience i garner here will definitely set me up for life, i just have to remember at what point to not be overwhelmed and let career rule life.
