have been very busy at work lately, working on two projects in parallel. One is at its design stage, one is at tender stage. Completely different thinking hat is required, so quite a bit of brain swithcing work in the past few weeks... and probably the coming few months as well.
The one at design stage was suppose to be fun, and easy, if the brief was clearly set out on day 1. It becomes less fun after 8 weeks of designing and then things just pops out from nowhere and you need to either change the whole scheme or do a new variation scheme. We started off with 4 types to do... now.. we have 3 variations within each type, plus 3 different architectual applications on each type.
That means the drawing package evolved from 27 drawings including all plans, sections and elevations to now 81 drawings in total... all to be drawn and finished to a decent state in one week.
Last night... i called my day off at drawing 21... all in one day.
Today, straight onto technical drawings for the tender stage project. I like drawing techincal things, makes you think about how things go together, how they are made. A properly drawn technical drawing looks 10 times better than a design drawing. That is some kind of satisfaction.
In this time of the year ppl do say busy is a good thing. I do agree to some extend. Is it still a good thing if you have to keep working at 120% or even more continuously for..... cant remember how long now... until a point that your current 100% is not even close to what used to be 60%? Feels like the 'hardware' is burning out.
Also, what if you work load keeps increasing, but it does not mean that the office is earning more. It is only that we are doing more stuff at a much lower fee? So... how hard you work is not really how much you get?
Its not mathematics anymore, and probably has never been... but there was once a logic behind? and now everything seems reversed. This is the world going sideways and we are trying to go the same way where we were heading before.
People complain more, think about themselves more, try to secure themselves more, and try to speed up more, to get in front of everyone, to get the first glimpse of the possible chance. Consume... when we lack, we consume more.
Healthy?
Open your eyes and look around, beyond that insecurity, still there are smiley faces to protect, loved ones to love.
愛しています... no matter how difficult things gets, how busy, how tired...
永遠にあなたを愛し
