Getting things done

A new fiscal year starts in Apr. It’s been a busy month, too busy to look forward to my upcoming trip across the Pacific this Saturday.

Focusing completely on my job keeps me away other distractions. My cousin gave birth to a baby girl last month on the European Continent. She doesn’t work. While I’ve been having doubts about my job, and sometimes I can’t figure out what I’m going to do if I’m not here.

SPT is hiring. Bosses came from HK and the States for interviews, creating a sense of tension in our small and usually relaxed office. I remember having read a blog post written by an executive assistant also working in the entertainment industry, saying that In showbiz where anyone would kill for your job and even do it for free, I knew how extremely lucky I was to “just be an assistant”. Yes, and the chances are far more smaller in China.

Stop complaining. Focus. Prioritize. Get things done.
