stress, stress, and more stress

i've already spent 9 long hours here in the office and i feel that i haven't really accomplished anything yet. there are a lot of open issues in a project i'm leading. the code hasn't been officially turned-over to me yet so i can't do anything about the issues at this point. i'm feeling kind of frustrated about it because i know the issues have to be addressed. aside from this, i've been meaning to restore a very large database in a high-end machine, but errors are coming out of nowhere. i've been researching on these stupid errors, but i can't seem to get to the bottom of the problem.

now, my right eye is hurting. seems like my head will be next. i've already taken paracetamol in anticipation of the headache, but i'm not yet sure if it would work. i can only hope it does. i don't want to continue working with my head pounding.

* sigh *

this reminds me of my officemate in my first job. she told me that:

   STRESSED is just DESSERTS spelled backwards.
   so when you're stressed, just eat desserts!

cool, huh? hmm.. makes me want to pass by Bizu Patisserie later for those artistic and delicious mini-cakes they have. :D great idea, don't you think? ;)
