Daily Grind

It greatly irks me that I have to do this everyday - sacrifice my early hours to join the queue on the freeway, burn up fuel and pollute the environment - just to make it in time to the office. What do I have waiting for me once I get there? A whole day's worth of watching videos on Youtube, surfing the net, chatting with whoever's online and playing Minesweeper until I couldn't possibly break the score record one more time. If Yahoo Mail had a gate keeper, I'd be standing outside it's gates begging to get in for the 100th time. If Solitaire were to charge a fee for every game, I'd be flat broke. If it weren't Ramadhan, I'd take coffee/toilet breaks every ten minutes and there'd be lunch hour to look forward to.

It greatly irks me that this is what I took a whole year off school to do. I'm not complaining about the abundance of free time I have on my hands. Oh no, I wouldn't even think to do that. It only worries me that my brain might be turning into mush with all this excessive R&R. I can't even force myself to blog even once a week. I'm afraid I might have gone so soft that when I do return to school, even the slightest hint of pressure is going to break me to pieces. Who's to be blamed then, my boss?
