A new-found talent

Teaching people HOW to rest could be my new sideline. And, if bloody MOE rejects me, I might consider doing it full time.

'Cos I'm beginning to see, around me, many friends, and hear of friends of friends who work and work or work and filled up all their spare time with something just so they know exactly what to do at what time. And when they have a Sunday afternoon to spend doing nothing, they become nervous wrecks. Depressed, lost and cranky. So not beautiful. Not to mention, DUH-sad.

No wonder I often get that cynical look when I get asked how the hell I spend my time, doing nothing in particular when I am unemployed at home. And I'm beginning to wonder if people really understand what is meant when we often say to each other 'take a break, take a good rest before you start over.'

It's really not difficult to just rest, you know. To just break away. I'm not even thinking my kind of resting - like what I've been doing the past 2 months. I'm just thinking one Sunday. Of rest.

Basically, you really just do nothing. Except trying to enjoy doing that. Sounds complicated? I guess so, if you're used to meeting deadlines (the 'dead' in 'deadline' is really just figurative, by the way), allocating every hour and minute to something, well, productive, agonizing over stupid bosses and irresponsible co-workers, staying back in office to work cos you wouldn't know what else to do otherwise...

Maybe I shouldn't write anymore about this. Else that will compromise the prospect of my new sideline. Hoho!

And so?

Ya. I've a bit of a loafer talent in me. But at least, I really enjoy life, the way I live it!
