Of late, time has been flying and i mean this literally. The week begins on Mondays and the next thing i know, it's Friday and the working class are rejoicing with thoughts of TGIF. But the worst part of it all is that although the weekdays race pass you like the fastest horse on a race track but the weekends go by at lightning speed!
Do we really live for the weekends? I'd say yes & no - i am not being a lalang, but that is the fact.
Some of us live for the weekends because we enjoy taking a time out away from the computer screen and catching up with friends, family, or simply lazing around in nothingness. On the other hand, there are those who work 7-days a week, and weekends don't really matter to them because work comes first. The question is, which category do i come under? My answer would be, none of the above because i am creating a third category! I would be one of those who works 5-days a week, and on weekends, i still find myself working from home - but not all day! My leisure time is very important to me, otherwise, i would not live through the 5-days of pressure filled work.
My friend keeps telling me that i am a workaholic. However, I do not think i am. To me workaholics, crave working all the time, and trust me, i do not crave for this. For me it's more of a sense of responsibility knowing that my accountability of tasks requires me to put in extra hours at times it eats into my weekends as well. Yes i do have choice, just like everyone else.
Despite having to work this weekend, i did manage to catch Fantastic Four on Saturday night, met up with friends on Friday and Saturday night. Today is Father's Day! My sister and I have planned to take my dad out for dinner, with the whole family. So this is me, juggling my time! I am exhausted though i must admit, but at the same time, i cannot sit down and do nothing all day. It drives me insane. So now, i would admit that I am a budding workaholic, but whether i am one already, really depends on how it is defined!
