Stressed Wage Earner

It’s 4:06 pm and for the first time in the past weeks, I have nothing to do. I can’t even believe I am saying that. Well I only got an hour and a half before the workday ends. The urgent requests are at a minimum today so that makes me a very happy employee. Although it is that, that contributes to this laziness I am feeling.

I sit here in my cube and I see everyone staring at their screens… some on the phone with their high pitched voices arguing with someone from manufacturing... some probably pretending to look busy... and some simply can’t even go to the restroom because of too much work. Now among those, where will I put myself? Haha. Sometimes it makes me think if I really want to be in this field. It is a highly stressful environment. Everyday you encounter something new. I guess that’s what makes it exciting. That’s what makes the time go so fast. However, it really burns the heck out of you. And out of everything, it is talking to the people and making them understand the urgency of things that makes it most difficult. Or maybe there’s really just something wrong with the darn system. Or maybe I should change career...

I remember a conversation some of my colleagues and I had during the weekend. We all shared the same sentiments as to how things are currently working. Oh well, I guess a rotten system exists everywhere anyway. I just gotta do what I gotta do to at least imrpove it in some way.

Right now I just want to get away from it all... I want to go somewhere where there’s water... the beach maybe... or a new place... or where there’s sunset... to take away the stress... or simply to just relax me.
