I think I am incapable of handling my responsibilities at work. Not when I have to clear the shit of my incompetent colleagues. Sometimes, its hard to draw a distinct line between work and friendship, so we feel obligated to help others with their work without saying "No". This ends up with me being buried with a mountain-pile of work that I try so hard to complete.
At work, the managers and senior executives choose favorites, all is well for me as I am able to deliver my tasks properly. But I cannot help the nagging feeling I get, when I see you being upset with everybody and disliking me for being the "chosen" one. I didn't ask for it. And I tried to make things better by being genuinely very nice to you. But you behave so immature about it, I wish I can choose not to give a fuck. But the working society is extremely different from when I was still in school, where I can choose my own friends, make some enemies and not give a shit about what people think of me. As colleagues, I thought it would be nice if we were all friendly to each other so that there would be proper synergy when we work together. It takes two hands to clap. Not only do I have to complete my tasks, your tasks, I still have to PR you. Its no wonder why work drains me out so much.

I met up with my friends today, and all I could think of was 'sleep'. I want to have mindless fun with them, but I can't. Transition period should be over, I ought to be more used to things by now and not feel like dying every single day. This slows down my productivity alot.


I think I need a change of mindset. & I think I need to learn how to say "No.".
