Although I feel very tired, I gained a lot experience. My coworker during lunch I told my coworker I worked very late everyday she suggest me to express my feeling to my line manager and make her know my feeling, but I know that my line manager is also very busy, I can understand her, so I can do as more as I can.

Edited:

This week, I’ve been working overtime until 9 or 10pm everyday, because next week I have a deadline for my budget update report. This time I am doing it independently, so, although I feel very tired, I have gained a lot experience. Today during lunch I told my coworker that I’ve been working very late everyday and she suggested  that I should talk to my line manager and let her know how I feel, but I know that she is also very busy, so I’m just trying to be understanding and to do as much as I can.

Next week I have a deadline for my budget update report, so I’ve been working overtime until 9 or 10pm everyday this week.
