Winding down 1/2

[Background]
I was stressed for the last two weeks, rushing for a deadline on Friday. I completed the coding and testing on Thursday and was told that the vendor pushed back the launch date.

[Friday]
After reaching my first milestone, I had no mood to work. Not that I was angry or tired. In fact, I was in a relatively good mood. I tutored our new hire; I helped another colleague with his debugging work; I simply did everything but my own work.
When the sunlight starts to come through the windows at a slanted angle, I started doing investigations seriously. I found more potential problems for project. This will be remedied on Monday.

Our room was to be renovated over the weekend and we gathered and 6pm and started moving things. Some selfish members left for home after they moved their own stuffs. Everyone else (who stayed) was game and co-operative. "It felt like a second ORD!", I declared. I even brought my little friend home for the weekend =)

Night came and I was looking forward to it. We met up with Faith and had dinner together. We talked about job opportunities and mutual friends(the industry is small). Kieran and Belle left us and we proceeded to Loof. The ambience looks nice but the drinks list does not suit me as it consisted mainly of cocktails and wines. The beer list had an impressive selection of 1 type of beer. They even have light and dark versions. Wohoo! As a side note, they mentioned they also have Tiger beer, Corona and something else. I guess they taste terrible since they did not even occupy a proper line in the menu.

When Joseph arrived, Faith made him re-enact his calling of Tommy "You stupid!" - Upon learning that the latter signed a bond with the company. "No, no! You must say it with passion!", cried Derek, which made me chuckle inside. The talk turned quickly about our frustration with work and I was surprised to learn that I was not the only one. Some in turn were shocked to learn of my points of disagreements with my work. To them, I was the most tolerant but those who knew me laughed their heads off. I was pretty surprised too. How did they know? I thought I hid things pretty well. It couldn't have been my attempt to drive my bosses crazy with my constant nagging for more IDs. Or me walking out of the room when boss tried to explain about the ID situation?

No, seriously, I'm surprised they read more that I cared to show. On one hand, I should watch myself. On the other, I don't think I really care.
