Work to Excel

Work has just resumed.  It’s as if my long hours of sleep was just my defense to just a day of awful stress.  What’s good about it is that, as I’ve come to think of it, everyone’s sharing the same dilemma.  Everybody contributes to this project in their own relevant ways. 

I’m tasked to do a plan for the quality assurance.  I’ve been thinking of this for almost a month now.  Information overload, time-pressured and other stress-causing tasks assigned from time to time… all piling up in our list of “To Dos”.   At the end of the day, I am asking myself, are all my efforts qualified to be considered “an excellent work” or is it just belonging to “beat-the-deadline-type of output”.

I do that all the time especially when I’m over-exhausted.  And when I reassured myself that “yes… I did it well…”, I always felt that such personal scoreboard will be my rejuvenating energy cells for the next working days…

It’s fun and challenging to be one with this project.  I am just too proud that I was given this task.  Though I considered myself a pro in this area, it’s the “stress” and the “need-to-do-this-excellent” motivations are the things that keep me goin’.  It wasn’t easy… but it’s the fulfillment of this very difficult work that makes it a lot more rewarding.
