Here's how it goes...
You get out of bed
Freshen up and get dressed
Get into the car
Crawl in snail-like traffic to the office
Reach an hour and a half later and park at the usual spot
Go grab that morning coffee
Read the daily headlines
Log into the email
Start replying mails that don't matter
Greet and have small talks with colleagues which you don't fancy
Work on that request from the boss and getting it approved
Play sweet and humble with everyone
Catch that lunch buddy
Fuss over the choices of food at the food court
Gossip about that nasty secretary
Head back to the desk
Reply those don't matter emails again
Try to talk sense into some people
Got agitated by the next department and try not to lose that patience
Go to the pantry and have a break
Have meaningless talks with the colleagues again
Respond to that "why-does-it-matter" request from the other department
Review that work done by the team and try not to shout at them
Reply that one last don't matter email
Pack up and tag out
Get into the car and crawl for another hour and a half back home
Clean up and get dinner
Continue that novel, continue that drama series
Tuck up in bed
The next day starts all the same again.
The things we do for others. The things we do that, honestly, bears no importance to us. Yet, we put most of our time and energy to it. What for?
For that pay check at the end of the month. The pay check that pays the bills and leave some extra for that weekend brunch. That exotic vacation. That limited edition handbag. That occasional spa pampering. That must have dress. That latest gadget. That night out with the buddies. And all those to make up for the misery of our daily routine lives.
Just the way life works right?
