work work work

I can't seem to get where I wanna be. Perhaps maybe at certain times I'm not even clear or sure where I wanna be. It used to be so clear, so pristine. There was once I thought I was close, but it was not to be.

I can hardly concentrate on anything these days. Not at work or out of work. Well, I'm doing 3 persons job in the office and nobody seems to care, so that makes it hard to concentrate on any one task. I used to be concerned about producing the best quality work but now my day to day tasks are ensuring that things just get sufficiently completed and submitted. And of course trying to make sure I dont end up staying too late in the office because there clearly isn't any incentive for working yourself to death.

Well outside the office I've been distracting myself with heroes 2, 24 season 7 and DOTA. Which is way too much stuff which I shouldn't be playing with if I'm to keep my new year's resolution. I need more exercise (okay bad weather is the excuse I'm giving myself). I need to spend more time on the WSJ (cos I paid for it?). And I need to figure out the market.

I put some into a bond fund some 2 wks ago and that has shot up tremendously. Knowing that bonds take time to mature, I'm quite sure there'll be a sufficient lag for me to pull out before it drops in the future, so I think i snagged a good investment there!

Take a look at the public transportation in this country. All of a sudden taxi fares have shot up like 50% or something! It cost me $32 to get to NTU in the morning, and $10 was for surcharges! No wonder the train and the bus stop appears to be much more crowded than usual. Well, good time to buy train and bus shares! Okay maybe it's already priced in, but I don't care, cos I already got my hands onto some ;P

Well, its time to sleep now. That's my other new years resolution, to sleep early. Though I really don't know how that's gonna happen with all that's going on.

My strategy now: dont think about work once u step outside the office, and dont think about anything else once you step into the office. which really means I should spend less time in the office to feel more satisfied...... :P
