Loopie - Joop

Yesterday morning, I had my first MRI scan of my life.  It was probably the longest 30 mins of my life. As you know, I have been suffering from chronic back pain since I'd sprained it last October.  Pilates helps but I am still unable to do anything very strenuous or high impact.  So the 1.5 hour jet ski ride 2 weeks ago did it again.  I went to the loo in the middle of the night and guess what? i felt something give way in my back again.  This time thankfully was less severe than the last when I totally felt paralyzed.  Hao-e was snoring away as usual, so I staggered to find my trusty bengay cream, smeared it all over my back, struggled back to bed and did Pilates warm up exercises.  It was a long fretful night and I spent the rest of the weekend lying down with a heat pack plastered to my back.   This time I decided to go to my GP since the sports medicine specialist I was seeing was a) very expensive; and b) didn't se...

Q: How do you know that your body is ageing? A: When an hour of jetski albeit on rather choppy waters, causes a backache and you smell of bengay for the next couple of days.... Q: How do you know its Monday? A: When you wake up feeling shitty and you try to think of a 1000 reasons to justify not turning up for work. Q: How do you convince yourself to love your job? A: You look for the teeniest of reasons e.g. launching outlook on Monday morning and not seeing an email arrowing you to do work.  Alternatively, you could put in a vacation request for the 3 days between Christmas and New Year and imagine your boss cringe when he reads the automated alerts while sweating about how to explain to you that you can't go on vacation because he had already approved another's leave plans. (this is a test btw, I shall see how good my boss is at fobbing this one...)

We will not have 5... we will only have 4 very soon.  That's very unfortunate.

So what do you make of this.  When I started on this job 2 years ago, we had a team of 7.  In the beginning of 2011, we had 9.  Now, we will have 5 in 2 months time. i'm not looking forward to this busy season.....
