Saturday photo

Sunday Office (because Office is Monday  to Saturday)...
...to get things done - fast.

Where do we draw the line?  How urgent is urgent at work that personal/family time is traded with additional work time in order to meet an impossible number of deadlines... many of which are 'legitimate', as in asked for by superiors; most of which self-imposed because things need to get better, and we take it upon ourselves to make things better?  Is it possible at all to just work within the 'legal' work period?  But, of course, it is!  The question is, will this make us happy?  Will sitting on our bottom watching movie, or updating our status on our fave social media, or sipping cappuccino in a fashionable coffee shop on our 'legal' me-time make us happy when we know very well that 'our horses' are at the tail of the race... even if we are merely 'running our own race'?  I say no, it won't.  Then again, that's me. :)

See, this is why I am slow to commit to anything (yeah, including marriage! Haha...) because when I do commit to anything, I go absolutely 'crazy' making sure that I give my all to my commitment.  No, it isn't a healthy attitude, I know that... but, how does one avoid being 'obsessive-compulsive', especially when one is fully aware of the cost of being just committed instead of being 'crazy committed'?  What does it take to push aside the bitter taste of the experience of failure in the past, and go on working on a normal schedule, especially when, this time, one becomes the responsible person whether things go well or bad?  More so, when things go bad, actually... 'cause when things go well, the subordinates are responsible... it's never you 'cause you're just one lucky occupant of the corner cubicle leading an army of extremely talented people... who can probably do better without you... or so, they think! :)  I know, I think too much!

Tell ya what, I'll just get back to work.  Who knows, if I stopped ranting here, I might just find enough time to finish my work, and get some 'me-time' in the process, right?  Uhm, right!  It's called optimism. ;)
