So tired that I risk falling asleep whilst writing these words.
It´s been three days of countless hours working on a two day training session which i´m not even halfway with.
11 hours of working against time.
Every now and then everything becomes fuzzy and I can´t make out the slides I´ve been working on.
Pressure - I need to get this done!
But there are moments I stare blankly at my work and can´t decipher what I know that I know like the back of my hand.
I´m tired…
When i´m not working, i´m working in my sleep.
Even eating has become too tedious, I never realised the effort it takes to chew.
I need to stop.
I need to sleep.
Soon the Centrum will kick in, the coffee will give me a boost and at lunch i´ll power up with a Redbull. And just in case I begin to lose gas, my evening snack includes an energy bar accompanied with an Actimel.
I´ll be on a buzz… I´ll be awake and alert
I´ll get things done and tomorrow I´ll do it over again and again so that 3 weeks work is done in 1.
I´m tired.

When people that only see number join forces with people that don't have the guts to say NO, the result is this...
At least they'll give some days of rest. I lose the count of people that do 12h all days and the only thing they got is a "Good work!" message...
It's already at half, at the weekend its done or very close.
The light still seems so damn far down this tunnel...
As for compensation: 3 days leave to compensate for the unpaid overtime and a pat on the back accompanied with "well done, you´re going to go to heaven one day!"
As Luis said, belive me/us: 3 days of leave is better than the rest of us get for that very same kind of effort.
Marco: True... but it isn´t exactly the recompense deserved for the effort invested.
Tu cansada demais para um titulo eu para escrever em inglês. Sinceramente, hoje estou sem pachorra.
Ai ai... andas a aportuguesar-te demasiado: recompense? que é isto? falta de contacto com Johanesburg?
Raios me partam, uns queixam-se de trabalho a mais, outros de trabalho a menos...
Ando com pica para voltar ao velho ritmo, mas ainda não consegui. Aos poucos estou a arranjar sarna para me coçar, mas ainda está a evoluir aos poucos, e demasiado lento para o meu gosto.
Ando a zangar-me com a minha lentidão, o que é bom. Quem sabe se juntando raiva suficiente, a coisa não pega fogo?
Tenta não fazer tanto, que eu prometo tentar fazer bastante mais :) Os amigos partilham as dificuldades. Manda para cá qq coisinha que eu dou uma ajuda
