Monday at work

I finally finished a bunch of my mood calendar entries today and I managed to clear my backlog. Even though it came at the cost of my sleep, I'm still glad I got to get it all and done with. After that, I planned to sleep, but I didn't actually get any sleep lol. I ended up being awake until the morning. I had this extreme anxiety and I couldn't really do anything about it like use my Mac because already turned it off nor use my main iPhone because it was charging. Eventually, morning rolled around and my sister got to massage my head and temples because I had this horrible headache going on, and I got sleep for around 2 hours or so.

When I woke up, I was super groggy but I had food. I still had to go to the office today so I pushed through getting ready regardless of how tired I was. I eventually got to arrive in the office just fine, but it was so damn hot out. And it wasn't even close to high noon! The heat was insane and the Angkas rider even commented on how hot it was.

For the rest of my time in the office, I just plowed through my usual start-of-the-week tasks. I had lunch out with my coworkers. We all ordered from the same fried chicken store, because why not, and my coworker and I also got some “coffee” even though they got a pistachio drink and I got a matcha one. I don't know why, but the service today was extremely slow, both for the food and for the drink. My coworker, who only ordered a little bit ahead of me, got his drink first and it significantly took a while before I got my drink and food. I just had to scarf down my meal so I could run back to the office for my meeting. After that, not much else happened. I tried sleeping at the sleeping quarters, but found it uncomfortable. I did feel a bit rested even though I was only there for 10 minutes or so.

After work, I eventually talked enough to my coworker to convince him to get dinner at Koobideh Kebabs with me. We walked all the way there and just talked about work stuff. They also asked why I wanted to go there, and I just told them that it's been a while and that Jaze and I went to Poblacion before, only to eat pares and not here. We eventually got there after a bit of walking and we just ate and talked more about work. We used the hell out of the sauces served, though, and I loved the taste of their biryani rice. I even ordered another plate of biryani rice because it was just that good. I felt so full afterwards but it was honestly worth it, despite knowing I'm going to be burping like hell for the entire evening after this. We went to 7-Eleven nearby, and I bought some snacks (which I didn't even eat). I walked with them to their hotel just so I could complete my exercise rings today and then booked a ride home.

For the late evening, I didn't do much aside from talk to Mon for a while. It was a funny coincidence how we both wanted a relationship and safe space, and also eerie how she just posted about it yesterday and I mentioned it today. But I'm sure it's just nothing but a funny coincidence. I sent some messages to someone but they didn't reply so I just worked on a new feature for my site which was just basic RSS functionality. It was long overdue, especially with 3 years' worth of journal entries, but I'm glad to have it done and deployed to production after fixing some minor issues.
