Work work work

When we r in college/school.....we always envy those who r working coz they are making their own money and buying stuffs they like. Also we envy that they do not have to do homework everyday at nite at home.

After finishing our education....we feel "YAHOOOO.....working life, here I come", and hence we join are so eager to join the working force. Initially we join the list of unemployed grads.....all have almost same skillset as us, competing for limited jobs available.

Then we secure a job....""YAHOOO....I got a job" is what u feel. U start to dress up smartly (formal working clothes) which you only do when u have formal presentations in college. U join the work force.

Then u realize.....ur boss like to rush u to complete ur job. Datelines are something new to you...and time is never enuf. The dateline which u have for college projects seems to be more lenient than those u have for work. U started to have not enuf time, hence u will need to work at home after working hours....or stay back in office to finish up ur work. Hey...wait a minute....isn't this similar to 'homework'...then 1 thing u hated so much during school/college.

Then when u get paid....you found that there are so many type of deductions, which left you net income not that mush after all. After paying your bills n sorts (well...working d mah, don say u still want ur parents to pay ur bills)....the amount of ur left income is not really enuf for the Gucci handbag you tot of buying when u started working. You'll learn that you only get your income ones a months (some company pay half monthly, so that's 2 times a month)...something very different from the pocket money which you get as and when u want.

Now u think again.....hmmm....sometimes working is not so much fun too. Well...what I think is...look at what u like your work to offer to you...and work towards that. Then working brings a whole new meaning to you again.

I am sitting here in my foreign client's office bloggin....coz the 'doggies' who got me here rush me for all sort of things....n now I came in early to work...none of them is ard....hehehehehe.
