Today is officially my last day in ASIA shift. Starting tomorrow, I will be on EMEA shift. Tomorrow is also Mikee’s first day as a Junior Explorer.
I have some adjustments to make such as:
1. mind off any pending work in the mornings. I promised myself this so that I can be an effective mother and wife. Plus, it will make my time together with my daughter genuine quality time.
2. blogging and surfing can be done while my daughter is in school. And if I’m in the mood, I’ll squeeze in some digiscrapping too.
3. going to the bank or parlor can be an alternative to item#2
4. I will start working at 3pm. I will try my best to be in the zone as soon as I turn my laptop on. I know it would feel like my day has just started.
5. breakfast together with the little girl but not for lunch and dinner (when I’m not working from home). At least I could still have dinner with the husband and the daughter 4x a week.
6. I will have to buy my dinner and the snacks before and after.
Some warned me that people on EMEA shift are gaining weight. I shouldn’t worry. I know the best diet pills in town.
7. I will not turn my laptop on once I get home from the office. BIG EFFORT!
8. No gimmick or night outs on weekdays, unless it’s a dinner date near the office. Saturdays can be reserved for that. Sundays are definitely for the family.
And come mid-July, we will start working at the Fort, a lot farther than Ortigas. OMG!
