Working

One whole year hearing your boss nagging about everything, listening to your boring colleagues talking about their wife’s and kids, getting paid one third of what you think you should get and the list could really continue. But let’s just stick to the point that working sucks. Unless of course your one of those two per cent of workers who really do what they always dreamt and are happy with it, for those, please ignore the next few lines because they’re not directed at you. Sometimes, for some milliseconds, I do really envy those African guys in Somalia that do nothing all day except for expecting help from UN. Not having to wake up early in the morning, catch half an hour or more of traffic, or for some people having to bear the smell of body odour in the Underground or Bus, eating trash for lunch and not caring about work at all are dreams I do have. I might seem a bit silly but it is true that sometimes I’m really fed up with work.
Luckily, as everything, there’s a bright side of it, Holidays, that time of year where even the traffic when going to the beach seems bearable. Time to rest or party, sleep or going out, beach or mountain, almost everyone deserves it and enjoys it!
So, today’s motto is...work for your holidays, not on your holidays!
