I wonder how... I wonder why...

ARGHHH!! I'm going mad... writing this article on "Outsourcing" (errr...actually supposed to write...haven't start yet)... the HOT topic. It's partly my fault... for waiting till the last minute, 2 days before 'DEAD' line, that I start to work on it. But I have my daily news to write and so I have no time to write in office... then I just can't bring myself to work on serious work articles after working hours cuz by the time I reach home, my brain cells are still recuperating from being overworked during office hours... (YES I'm griping...)

It really brings me back to 'those days'....sheesh I feel so old... when I have to spend 2-3 days in the library, trying to get all sorts of information to base my essays on... and end up with a patchwork of different paragraphs from different sources as my final essay. (Of course alot of time is spent PARAPHRASING because we have been warned time and time again about Plagarism.) Anyway, yeah... it sure feels like that now except that I'm in DEEP SHIT because I have yet to interview anyone!!! And my article's due in 48 hours time!! And I can probably interview someone in less than an hour but who am I going to interview at such a short notice?? And I can forsee myself trying to get an extension probably till next Monday, AND I will probably be too busy with the musical over the weekend to get anything done about my article... And that's why I will be in DEEP SHIT.

I know all there is to know about outsourcing actually. PROs: Focus on specialisation, convenience, offshore outsourcing=cheaper labour cost i.e. increased cost efficiencies, also to save cost on continual technology upgrades for both hardware and software. CONs: Issues on IP i.e. Intellectual Property, security issues, quality control, thorough knowledge of industry/enterprise...

Okies if you don't understand what I'm talking about.. it's ok.. I understand can already... Wahhaa.. but if only I can write my article like this!! Life would be so much easier! But can I? No... have to write it in prim and proper manner... which kills my brain cells faster than neccessary... There goes my brain juice conservation project.

ARGH! HOW HOW HOW HOW????? I need DIVINE INTERVENTION! HELP ME HELP ME HELP ME PLEASEEEEEE!!!

Sometimes I feel like Carrie in Sex and the City... haha... writing my own column... IF ONLY... I can only dream about it... cuz my column would be too crappy for anyone to want to read! And my life is not even half as exciting as Carrie's...
