Stuck at work

I feel tired. Work is getting more hectic everyday. 10 working hours a day is a bit too much to me. Thank God it is thursday. I can’t wait to go home and relax for a long weekend.

I know that there are many people in the world who work much harder than me and hardly find a time to complain, and I am aware that there are some people who do really love what they are doing. I do love my work in a way as it was something that I pursued strongly. It was like a dream for me a couple of years ago.

It isn’t clear to me what went wrong. Maybe people lose their hobbies when they become their work. Maybe I am not doing exactly what I hoped for. Maybe I had a different picture of what I am going to do rather than what happens in reality, or is it that I may not feel that I am progressing as I would like to or getting the rewarding I feel need to.

I just feel enslaved to this routine of having to stay infront of my pc 10 hours a day, 5 days a week. 4 years doing the same thing sure can make anyone get bored.

But yet, there is no close hope for a change. I am dependent financially on my work. It is quit rewarding, and a bit promising in the near future which keeps me stuck… maybe till I get lucky, and win the lottery.

Or maybe when I start my own business. Hope this would work.

Blogging helps bring some air to my long days at work. A break out of everything where I discharge my thoughts and feelings when I need to.

Maybe other people do have more right to complain than myself, but if other suffers more than me, that doesn’t mean that I can’t whine as well. I am not really suffering, I am just whining cause I need more sleep.

I need my bed today, my home. My freedom.

Guess that I am stuck here for another 9 hours. I am sure most of the people who would read this are stuck in their work as well.

The good news. It is thursday 🙂

    Sounds cool. I wanted to study architecture but it didn’t work out for me. I ended up studying computer science.Good luck in your study, and try to keep you passion up 🙂

    wow thats some tenacity to do 4 years of interface design am surprised u havent branched out yet that might actually help ya out a bit

    and since ur background is in computer science it should be easier

    No Angel, you are right about that, I should be branching. I have been doing the same thing for quite sometime. I talked to my manager about it. We studied our opitions and I will be working on that.
