I'm officially sick of work (Pt 2) + Goodbye sis

Today was the first time i felt like crying at work. It's not about the work load, i'll never cried for work but something else. In the evening my 2nd sis sms me, telling me that all sisters will be celebrating farewell for my eldest sis who's leaving to UK later in the morning. I tried my best to finish my work early but there were changes to the layouts. After finishing all the changes, I need to print out the work and sticked all the artwork together (as the art pieces need to be presented in a larger size).

I'm so angry that there's a particular person, who had been asking me doing the entire work. She claimed to be busy and yet so free for cheer leading rehearsal and something else. Like i said before, she just came out with the suggestion (i don't call it an idea cuz that direction had been executed by others). I wanted to cry as no matter how fast I tried to finish my work, there's always some changes eventhough it seems to be perfect and I was desperately need to go back early to celebrate my sis's farewell. I wish i could spend more time with her before she leaves. Eventhough I've missed the karaoke session (after 12), I still tried my best to finish everything and go home to see her before she fell asleep.

No one knows my feeling, no one seems to care especially that person, i explained to her that I need to leave early. If people can work as a team, things could be finished earlier. However human are selfish. I'm a 'coolie' in my agency but i ain't 'cool' about being bullied like this. It's not just me angry about this but others who were working hard for this job. I reached home at almost 1 and luckily my sis was there, we chatted for a while and ended with an au revoir hug before she went to sleep. This farewell means a lot to me as my sis only come back to Malaysia once a year. Usually she would come back for a month long, but the time we could spend together was so little as she has to accompany my parents at hometown. So, the next time i'll be seeing her is next year if everything goes well.

When I was whining about my work, some people would say working in advertising is like this. You can't blame anyone. I was thinking is this something that I want? For not having freedom to do other things, today was a good example. We work like hell long with so little money we earn. Maybe I should search for an alternative... I need a long term planning.

Sis, we'll see again next year. Take care.
