Too much pressure from everyone...

Due to the move to the new office, I've been loaded with extremely many tasks. Some of which, I didn't have someone else to help me. I had to stay after office hours so I can do tasks that could have been very disruptive of other people's work if I did them with people around. One more admin could make so much of a difference. It's just too bad I don't think they plan on getting one more admin. This is just too much to handle even for me. I can do the tasks given to me but due to a lot of constraints, my job gets harder and harder. I just hope some people would be sensitive enough to understand my situation. I try to do my best, but I can only do so much.

Then there's also pressure from my beloved Booh... I'm starting to think about leaving this job so I can make her happy. Really, I'm not being a workaholic. It's just that my job demands a lot from me and there really isn't much that I can do.

I'm starting to lose hope that some day I may find myself not being overworked or overloaded... If my Booh wants me to choose between her and my job, I'll most certainly choose her. I try to do my best in my job but if she wants me to do things that contradict what I have to do for my job then I would immediately tender my resignation... I'm dead serious about that.

Can't they just assign the dev stuff to the devs? Why do I need to be involved even in developer issues? :(

It's hard to figure out the boundaries of my job. Sometimes I do things that should have been assigned to other people... Am I just ranting because I don't want to do stuff? No. The point is that I don't want to do stuff that aren't supposed to be my tasks because they waste precious time!

Also, can someone please suggest that we hire another admin? If no one steps up, then I'll ask the management myself. If I'm not able to stand the pressure, I'll resign for sure... There's just too much to do, but unfortunately my mind and body can only take so much...

When will people ever learn?! *sigh*

Here's my short guide on how to use the MRT properly.

1. When going up the stairs and there are lots and lots of people waiting to get up, there's absolutely no need to push people. It won't get them anywhere, and it won't get you anywhere too. If there were any more space left to move to, don't you think the people in front of you would have moved already?

2. When going through the turnstile, please wait until the person in front of you has already passed. I'm not really sure if it has a counter of the accepted tickets or anything but it's better to be safe (and act like civilized people).

3. When boarding the train, learn to make a queue. Some people just like to go to the platform and position themselves by the sides of where the door is supposed to stop. Why? So that they can get past the "queue" of people who are positioned directly in front of the train door. Those people SUCK! These are the people who like to push other people around. Be civilized and follow the yellow markers and make a "queue" so people can just go straight and not push (see #1) each other. When people are in a queue, people can board the train faster and in a more orderly fashion.

4. When about to board the train, when you're near the front of the crowd and you suddenly decide that you don't want to get in just yet, DO NOT BLOCK OTHER PEOPLE. If you don't want to board, get out of the way so that other people (who might be in a hurry) can board the train.

5. Again, when boarding the train, try to fill the areas near the middle of the train and avoid crowding the area near the doors unnecessarily. People SHOULD be nice enough to give way when you're getting off the train at the next stop, right?

I guess that's all for now. I think it's a hopeless situation, really. Some people just never learn...
