I hate getting calls from Chinese telemarketers. They start talking in Cantonese, and I pretend I don't understand.
All week I was swamped with the United Way campaign at work. I do not wish do be the email queen for the committee group next year -- too time consuming. Friday we ended off with karaoke. People singing were all nominated. I want to know who nominated me :x
One thing I am really uncomfortable doing is singing in front of people. I can talk, dance, play an instrument, and be fine with it. But singing...no. I only sing when I am by myself and along with the radio! Anyhow, people were encouraged to sing in groups, so I went up .. twice. Participants were allowed to make a donation to not sing, but the audience would boo.
So with this campaign last week, I didn't have time to go run errands during my lunch time, and with other activities going on, I didn't have time to run errands after work. That was really stressing me out. I was really set on getting something framed, and I was rather upset since the sale expired before I had time. I did not have time all week to do one little thing.
And then Friday night, I left straight from work to go volunteer for a film festival. Their disorganisation makes me not want to volunteer again. It's been my 3rd year volunteering this year, so it's not like I've not given them a fair shake, and I understand lots of thing just happen on the fly at these events. But for the second year in a row, I've shown up on time for my shift, and then to have wait around for the execs to take charge. I could have shown up an hour later, and things would have just gotten started. I left work EARLY for what?!
Friday night I was so hungry, too. I was weak by the time I got home and was too tired to eat.
Then Saturday I saw my mom off to the airport. Instead of doing all the things I wanted to do (like exercise), I was so exhausted that I slept until I had to get ready for volunteering again. For this particular shift, I didn't have to do anything. They had too many volunteers. So disorganised.
I guess it doesn't help that they have new executives every year, and the volunteers are usually one-timers.
I am so out of it right now. I woke up super late, like 11:15 am. I feel like I've done nothing but have lots to do, and the afternoon is whittling away. I hate that my gym closes at 6 on Sundays. I guess I will go in an hour, at the latest.
Is there a trick to preventing brown sugar from hardening into a lump? I bought a big bag of it. I never need a lot of brown sugar.
