Stress at work

I'm at the edge of a nervous break down. I know this because Sham has told me twice today that I need to relax a bit. Immediately, my friend's advice pop up in my head. She advised me to be cool and easy when I was about to join this company. I listened to her advice but I guess one never know the true meaning of advice until one is in the middle of it.

This week is the one of the worst weeks in my career life. The first one happened when I was with my previous company. I was given a task to design a booth for an international trade in a month. The preparation and execution would normally take mininum 4 - 6 months. It was my first time handling trade show booth and design. I put in 16 - 18 hours a day. On top of that, I had to managed a team of designers and in-house marketing design work, which normally have up to 8 - 10 projects a week. I still remember that I lost 15kg in a month and everyone could see clearly that I was at the edge if nervous break.

A few years later, today, I am facing the same problem but woth greater heights. Due to unorganised company structure and internal problem, I am force to face the same situation again. Lepas tangan and pakar complaint is famous in this company. When things go wrong, people will walk away and pretend doesn't know anything. This make me emotionally very exhausted because I have to manage a hugh department. Not to mention I haven't start carried out a re-structuring.

I just hope this project will ends soon and print smoothly without any errors.
