How could this be? I forgot about my blog! My procrastination rules again....
On a different point, I feel that work has been the biggest disappointment so far in my life. I had been in education for 14 years, under the premise that if one works hard or has some form of talent then they will excel, but no. Many of the colleagues I have encountered are complete buffoons who are lazy, incompetent, overpaid and moan constantly about how awful their job are but proceed to do nothing about it.
And if you even try to enter a bit of cultural/topical/intellectual/philosophical (delete where appropriate) conversation, you are meant with dumbfounded stares and the topic is steered to discussing a soap opera/Z-lister/office gossip. If I have to spend my precious time with you, can I at least expand my mind somewhat?
As Martin Freeman's character in 'The Office' points out, you spend most of your waking hours not with your family or friends but with work mates who you don't even consider to be close to. What a depressing thought that is: spending my life with a bunch of people that I would have never met were it not for the fact I happened to successfully apply for this job. I am genuinely pleased for people who enjoy their job or vocation in life. At least someone is not slowly crawling to death without some joy in their life and complaining on blogs... Well not complaining more stating the bleeding obvious.
I wonder if other people think the same way or if I am just constantly dissatisfied and trying to find some purpose or meaning to work when there is none? However appealing settling for an oblivion of boredom or soul-destroying, I just can't do it!
Take me back to primary school where you did tracings all day. I wonder if children trace anymore...?
