Wretched Wednesday.....!!!

Its 10:17 Pm......It's that time of day that most people look forward to.......while they are packing their lunch in the morning,while they are taking bites outta toast with one hand.....as they try to steer their way out of that mayhem with the other..,while the boss is fuming and pointing at his watch as they are walking in 10 minutes late b'cz that darn blouse needed ironing...,while they are frantically trying to make the deadline ..constantly cursing the day they chose this profession!!!Its crazy ...I know!! (I rest my case about the evils of IT)...

To me, this is very important... this period of time,this little slice of my day which ,right before I sail off to Dreamsville,helps me reminisce,clear my mind off all the jarring traffic on my way home..not to mention the chaos and drudgery during the day...

Have you tried this?? It really helps....With a glass of warm milk ...Everything registers better than it did when you first saw or heard it.It may seem like the absolute smallest and insignificant routine,but believe me its priceless.Its what they call, holistic healing!!!Gosh,how stressful and exhausting our lives can get... Its harrowing and difficult to endure.No wonder techies these days quit after a few short years.. And engineers graduating now are just a few projects and a couple of sleepless nights away from total burn out!!!People look for answers in health related articles that are well worded and backed by doctors , who we wouldn't be running to in the first place, if we learn how to give ourselves a break at the right time.

I am all for,working persistently,driving myself insane for better results(when I'm being paid handsomely,Of course),sticking my nose up in the air and then strutting around thinking I'm better than everyone else(Why not,when I'm good at my job)....When we are having a good day.. we better milk it for all it's worth(we get so few of them)!!... But when I think about all the drawbacks associated with it..Such as... No time for family..No sleep...No TV....No sitting around doing nothing(Now this is a talent I have lovingly cultivated..I'm so good at it...If only I could put it on my resume :) :):) ).....No sleep(OK seriously..I need my 8 hrs,without which I'm irritable and grouchy)....,I wonder if its really worth it!!!!

What happened to the cushy..comfortable... easygoing lives people led back when it was not a taboo to not be an engineer???
When,going after our dreams was more important ,even if it meant owning a flower shop!!!!
Where people did not just go with the flow and end up getting caught in this rat race!!!!

After achieving everything we have.. after getting where we are.... after learning and receiving medals and trophies for being outstanding at things we will probably never do again in life.... Have we failed to learn how to do the simplest thing in life???Or did we forget??
