Stress. Super Stressed up this week as my boss was hospitalized all of a sudden on Tuesday.

She called on Tuesday morning, telling me that she will be late for work as she's out to see doctor, but little did I expect her to end up in hospital. It's so sudden and the doctor said that she has a mild stroke.

When I heard she got stroke, I got a shocked. I juz went out for dinner with her to celebrate my colleague's birthday on Monday. And one moment, she's in hospital.

So I have to process and follow-up with all her work. I really got stressed during the first 2 days as there are alot and really ALOT of things to do. I was filled with uncertainty and confusion plus very inconfident. I've never done her work before, so where do I start? My colleague from Middle East called to comfort me saying they will be behind me and telling me not to be so stressed. I nearly burst into tears as I listened.

Now I know how stress my boss is and why she had to do OT everyday till 10, 11 plus at night. I guess to climb up to her position, it's really not that easy. Imagine the stress one has to take, everyday so many mails to look at, so many orders to process and so many calls to answer to... it's making me crazy.

But today was better as there are less calls, less mails to look at in my boss inbox. I guess most of them know she's in hospital so try not to call. Phew!

Hope tomorrow will be good and she will come back soon as I do not know how much longer I can sustain.. Hope she is fine with all the scanning..
