Clearing up... cleaning up ... gearing up...

I was so tired these days... trying to clear up things in my old firm and works from the new place is picking up a lot... and I have new works coming in which I suddenly felt I don't know if I should open a file in the old firm or wait till I go in to the new firm. Things really mess me up lately. I really was BUSY!!!!
2 days ago, my master in Tawau called me up to help him stand in a case in the Land Office here in Kota Kinabalu as he needs to be in the High Court for a short call hearing for his pupil. I went there not knowing who the other party is and when my new partner walks in, we were just laugh because it's so funny that we are in the opposing team. hahahaha.... I know I am no locus to be there that morning and it's hard to convince the Timbalan Pengarah to grant me another month of time. But speaking all the non-sense and bluffing in front of someone I knew was really funny. Of course we both know that it is just a JOB to be there to make our grounds. hahaha.... well, of course no one wins in that matter as the Timbalan Pengarah didn't prepare any rulling and the other party was asking for a decision to be delivered. hahaha... and I was asking for time and I guess in a way, another date will be set and so, yes... my bluffing was correct in that sense. hahahahahaha... it's crap really!!!!
After a 3 hours lectures today, I went back to my old office to see if there's any urgent matter to be handle and I just realise, except the account, nothing else I need to worry about. So, I ended up took all those things belongs to me home with the help of a wonderful friend of course. Thanks, my dear...
When I saw all the things in my small tiny apartment now, the only word I can think of is "stress". I can even feel 'stressful' now.... I looked at those files on the floor (no place to put them), I just don't know which one to start. There's so many things to handle... and so many clients to do. I am not sure if I can finish teaching these 2 classes this semester. It's tough!!!

A challenge...

It all started 2 weeks ago by the issue of drinking water and that it just triggled my anger and discomfort ... which lead me to share my discomfort with a friend in another firm. Things just overturned since then... I was offered a place to be partner at that firm and I was also being told, I will be given lots of works which means, finances would be much better than now. It's not easy to have such opportunity. I know God does listens to prayer and listens to what I have been telling Him. Well, just 2 days before I was offered, my partner has asked for a meeting. God knows what's the purpose of the meeting. But as I was too busy with works, I didn't manage to speak to my partner until I was given an offer. I then make appointment with her, we sat down and talked and I have to her I am thinking of leaving this partnership. She took it positively. I guess in a way, she does know that I am not very happy about things already. I proposed to her that I will leave this firm in mid December as the Partnership Agreement we entered did mentioned that I need to give 4 months notice. However, she suggested I leave end of November. I am fine with that as the other firm wanted me to join soonest possible. Well, last Friday, she told me through phone that she wants me to leave a bit earlier, that end of this month, October instead. Well, of course I can think of a few reasons why she reacted in such a way. First, she doesn't want to share another month's profit with me. Secondly, she doesn't want me to take away her client. Thirdly, she wants to show me that, I will lose out if I didn't go with her. Without a firm that I can attach to, I will surely have problem bringing away my files.
(I didn't tell her I am joining another firm by then).
Yesterday, she reverted to my draft Deed of Dissolution of Partnership and while I was going through with her on that, I told her I am going to the new firm and I am bringing over some files. Obviously it's a shock to her and she was so unhappy with me bringing over some of the files. No particular reasons why I want to bring over the files. It's all because they are my clients.
So, I am still staying up in the office late... trying to sort out some of the things here. Phew... it's not easy... sudden change, AGAIN.... and yes.. without a single day of BREAK!!!! At first I was thinking that I will be jobless for next month... but no... my new big boss told me, I am so much wanted and he is so happy that I can join by 1 Nov. So, yes.... my initial plan for a holiday is vanish... so I better take this weekend off... to Tawau. HOME.....!!!!
I was told that my new boss has passed all his files to my other senior and senior is now distributing files among her and me. hahaha... I am being called to go to new office tomorrow to sort out files. What can i say except praising and thanking God for His blessing?

These days...

I opened this page for about 5 times for the past 2 days and yet, I wasn't able to write a single word on it. Don't ask me why. I guess it's all because I was busy with works and that things happen too fast, and guess what? even my family doctor in Tawau called me yesterday to refer a client to me. Business is definately picking up at my end. But with changing of firm soon, I am not sure if things will still be the same. I hope it is ....
Well, ... my partner obviously is trying very hard to cope with things around and I have yet to help her with all...
speaking of no time.. a phone just rang and i have to go...
