the grouch
if there is an award for living the most boring life, i am a sure winner. monday to saturday starts with a cold bath at 6:30, a dull breakfast at the office canteen by 7:45 - same menu day after day after day, then off to my computer trying to cancel out as many items in my to-do list as possible. my days end when our IT does systems maintenance, that is 12:00 midnight or until my mind stops to process anymore information, which ever happens first. if a sunday falls on a month end, you’ll find me in the office, same with holidays. it’s been a routine that i have unwittingly put myself into for almost a year now and i am beginning to think if this is the life that i really want.
i have just realized now, in retrospect, that lately i am becoming a grouch and it clearly shows at home and at the office. do not make a mistake or you will hear a mouthful from me. maybe this is the effect of depriving myself of a decent sleep, or the lack of a much needed breakaway. or it could be the result of being exposed to so much negative things that happen around me. i particularly do not enjoy eating breakfast at the office canteen because of the news being flashed on a huge idiot box. why cant early morning news be uplifting and inspiring? some people need positive vibe to start their day right!
