cold water

I just came out of the shower. haven't had a cold water shower at home for a long long time. you see, I usually avoid being immersed or drenched in cold water like the plague. maybe even more. but the weather is totally sweltering hot, I had no choice. it was so soothing. but the feeling was ephemeral, in all its comfort. barely 30s after I stepped out the of the shower, I could feel my sweat glands beginning to get active once again. makes me wonder, do they ever tire out? why not? probably because I'd be dead if they ceased to function.

at work today I had a quite a handful of tasks to complete. I did most of what I was supposed to do, less a few that really couldn't be done due to missing spares. OT has begun. the warning given prior to today, I really didn't expect it to take effect so quickly. NTU has given me a reply, and also a copy of a letter I can print out to be shown to the OC to verify that I can have a place there. so now it's all up to SAF's side. today my WOIC also questioned me how come I had broke the chain of command and hadn't told him that I was disrupting. in my mind I was thinking 'GIVE ME TIME. I only informed the OC directly due to the lack of time I believed in my part. I was going to inform you and my MTT(who hasn't been around for a long time) as well.' but anyway I just kept quiet and tried my best to look sorry and repenty to save time and trouble. anyway he found out only when the OC asked him about it. so now I'm worried if my OC will be a petty one and not apply for the disruption for me due to this small and mediocre event that took place. I hope he isn't the sort.

everyday from today onwards will have OT. up till at least the 20th may. super long time man. almost 3 weeks of nonstop OT. I hope at least, the heat goes down.
