It’s another month end. People in the office are driven crazy every end of the month. Five days before and after, that is. Before, this drives me crazy as well. Every one’s beating a deadline, cranky and downright nasty when you disturb them. I was always treading on egg shells during these ten days.

But then, I learned to go with the flow. Why would I drive myself nuts when I don’t have to? My work is not directly related to the reports they are losing sleep over to complete. I am in the admin department. I only hand over the budget estimate we need by next month and that’s about it.

Now, I just look at them and assist when asked to. I don’t stress myself anymore looking at them running around, harassed-looking and with their eyebags occupying their whole face. Go with the flow and stick to your department.
