Stress

Yes, lots of stress in past days :( Esp. yesterday and the day before were very hard here in the office. My boss was in very, very bad mood and was screaming around all days long :( I was guilty of ALL things that went wrong here; even for things I have nothing to do with it. But I guess he has to put the guilt on someone else, not him - I don't know why boss's never can admit that they are also just a people and that they can do mistakes as well??? Why it ALWAYS has to be someone's else fault???
His was was also not around in past two days (did some shopping in Austria and was working on decorations for her apartment?? - during working time ???) and so was even harder for me and much more work to do - even the work that's not even mine!!!
I am very happy it's Friday and I hope it's going to be less hectic today. I have no more power left for yet another hectic and stressful day.

My days are long - too long. I hardly go to bed before 2am and with 4 hours of sleep per day, you can imagine that by the end of the week my body is running out of energy :( Even the studying after work is much less effective coz' I'm soooooooo tired.
I haven't done as much studying as I would wish to. The problem is that before I come home and have lunch it's already 5.30pm. If I start studying right away, I can stay focused on the studies for 2 or 3 hours and than the concentration starts falling down. :( I take a short brake after that and try to study later again, but it's hard. I don't even know if it does much sense to study late if I don't remember much :s

Today I took the book with me to work, though am not sure if I'll be able to do anything. Usually when there's not much work to be done and I could eventually study, people keep bugging me for small things that they could do on their own. :s
If I won't be able to do any studying, than I might do an hour or two at home. The rest of the time I will rest. I also feel dizzy and not that well today, so maybe it would be better for me to relax and rest.

The weekend will be all in studying theme :s I hope to get some sleep (will go earlier to bed today as well) in the mornings and than will be studying all days long. My exam is on 8th December.
Yesterday I found out that I am still not applied on this Economy exam and have called the people at University and they told me if I won't be on the list on Monday 4th, I should call them. I hope they haven't put my application somewhere where they won't find it. It could be a problem to attend the exam, coz' we have to be applied on exam 7 days before the date :s But the lady there told she can make exception and apply me later if they have lost my application; the good thing is that I have a copy at home and can prove to them that I have sent it :)

I hope your weekend goes well.
Today December has started - the happiest month in all year with lots of great, family holidays, presents, perhaps some snow and lots of parties. :)
ENJOY it!

Whenever you need me to go and shot your boss, I am a call away:)
I hope that the exam thing will be fixed. I had to sign forexams every time vie a prgramme on Internet, so it was a bit easier.. OK not easier, but there I could see my applications.But the programme itself was crap and everytime too busy... but no papers lost!

I will count on you when will come to boss matters :P

And about exam...yeah, we apply on each exam via e programme as well and the programme is very good though, but in some professors (who are stuck in the middle age???) prefer to send out paper applications and this professor is one of them :(
Our University is sadly well-known for loosing all kinds of papers, though to be honest, even appling over the internet is not really safe, coz' one time last year the server broke down and all applications and exams written in computers were gone :( Imagine how bad is that for students who don't have written grades in their paper Index :( Most of them had to re-write the exams which is highly unfair from the University...but no complain helped. Even I had to re-write one exam, coz' didn't have the grade written in. Now when I pass the exam I go streight to the office and ask them to write it in...

TC hun and thanx for everything. Hugs
