overworked?

i just had this threatening experience yesterday in the office... this is not a scary ghost story if that's what you're thinkin'.

i was just surprised that after working for more than 2 years now in this industry, that was the first time i had this... i work from 9pm to 6am daily. i was in the morning shift before though, and was just transferred to graveyard shift about 2 months ago. i do calls half of my shift and the remaining time, i spend for filing forms and client requests which most, if not all, use microsoft excel. of course, there are days also that we need to file whole day due to huge request volume. i was just so shocked because yesterday, while i was in the middle of compiling our database, i suddenly felt dizziness and shortness of breath. i was scared to death! thought i would just doze off... i was so nervous but i had no choice but to control myself... because the more nervous i get, the more difficult it was for me to breathe... felt like i'm almost dying... i paused for a while and closed my eyes... i actually prayed coz i no longer know what to do... it took quite some time before i felt ok again...

i felt so scared because i'm not used to it... well, maybe this is the sign that i really need a break... but how am i gonna do that?!? waaaaahhhhh!!!!

because of this, i thought that you really cannot say what's gonna happen next... and it's so true that anything can happen. one time you're ok, next time maybe not... you really can't tell...
