Hi you, how are you recently?
Uni break has been so long that I have forgotten what study is already. I've been so caught up with working six days a week that I finally understand how little time we really have in our lives. I'm currently working 3-4 jobs, meaning I have 5 emails to check: one for each job and my personal ones. Even my facebook has become an avenue through which my colleagues can contact me, cause that's the only way they can get to me when I decide to keep my phone on the other side of the house. Our world has become so connected and transparent, almost too connected that I feel like there is no privacy anymore. All media sites are connected to each other; you can connect your laptop to your phone and even to your TV, cameras are everywhere as though there is always someone watching you, always someone who will find out what you're up to.
It is the chaos of today's internet that makes me so stressed. I could imagine that if we didn't have phones, there would be no emails: we would finish work and leave all the worries behind. Now there's managers calling you in in the morning because your colleague is sick, calendar invites to meetings, documents to read up on before the deadline.... the list goes on.
But it is exactly all this that makes me enjoy so much more, the time I have off. Today is the first day in a month that I have had lunch at home with my family. For someone that lives at home and whose parents are always at home, it makes me feel bad. I bought my mum a phone yesterday, mind you she loves it, shes been bragging to all her friends about it but a part of me feels guilty that I'm just buying her expensive things when really, a better present would be to spend more time at home with her. Just to be home for dinner on time rather than having to stay back to balance cash at the end of the day, or going out for dinner with this friend and that friend.
I'm surprised I have not forgotten to go to something or to do something as of yet. I mean, it's great; I love keeping myself busy, learning new things and making money. It does come at costs though, my health is deteriorating because I haven't been eating properly or had the time to exercise. You give some you get some.
