Monday once again. I had to literally drag myself to my workplace this morning. Two reasons: I had been struggling to fight off a bout of flu that keeps trying to come back to me for the past two weeks. I slept quite late last night and the rainy condition was just too discouraging to pull me out of bed.
I am not good at fighting. Even more worse in handling office politics. Arenas like this that requires a sharp and unforgiving tongue and quick reflex to charge back are just too much for me. But as everyone must be very well aware, office politics is part and parcel of any organisation. No matter where you go, as long as there are people, there exist politics. Maybe Office Politics is too negative a term to use. A more neutral one should be the Art of Survival. Erm .. Maybe I should grab that book on Sun Tze's Art of War to read tonight?
Whenever I am stressed out, I would exercise more. Sweating it out gives me a good feeling at the end. Last week, I went to Amore four times to work out and also to run on the threadmill. My hubs keeps telling me that I am exercising too much. Reminding me of the karma I received last year for training too hard and ended up with a very painful back and knee cap for a few months. But so far, this is the only way I know to relieve the stress in me. At least for a short moment.
Maybe I need a break. My last leave was taken in July when I went for my honeymoon in Maldives. I was not totally relaxed then as there were so much to do before and after the wedding.
Maybe I should plan a short getaway.
