Someone once said, ‘The Hardest work in the world is being
out of work’ & I must say I totally agree with it. Every morning when I wake
up it feels like I’m on a job that I do not enjoy at all. What started out as a
well-deserved vacation has now turned into a period of I-desperately-need-a-job.
My mind it seems has gone into hibernation mode and only a very small part of
the brain needed for everyday functioning is awake and running.
Anyway the point of writing all the above is
nothing but another way of telling myself to get out this sorry state of living
and get a job!
My day begins around the time when offices are getting ready
for their lunch break. I have but forgotten what a breakfast feels like. By the
time I have read the news, the world has moved on from them and has found newer
issues to deal with. So after completing that pointless exercise, I go up to my room to check my emails, Facebook updates and
sports news. Such is my routine that I open the websites in the same order day
after day.
The day’s first moments of any kind of real activity or
excitement comes in the form of an argument that my mother and I have everyday over if I should take
a bath before having my lunch. We have the same argument every day, but it is
still difficult to predict who will win on that particular day. Some days I win and have
my lunch with a slight sense of victory while on other days I have to
reluctantly give in and take a bath! Whoever came up with this rule probably didn't have a life himself.
Afternoons are generally a busy time. I lie down on my couch
and watch a film or the latest episode of one of the many series I follow. The temperature
being so high just makes a person even lazier and I for one don’t feel like
doing anything. Even the small job of pausing the video to go and answer nature’s
call seems very tedious!
Evenings are much more bearable. I’m either out meeting and
hanging out with friends or at home counting every second till it is time for
dinner. Dinner time means sitting down with family downstairs and eating
together and watching some television. This by the way is the only time of the
day when I watch TV, so you can imagine just how much time I spend in front of
my laptop!
After dinner I come back to my room and it is that time of
the day when I realise that I’m wasting precious time and how I should be
looking harder for a job. Every night I also look at my blog and tell myself to
write something. But every time I sit down to write something, it is too much
for the small functioning part of my brain to process and it short-circuits. In other
words to protect its vital functioning parts it sends me into day-dreaming
mode. Though creative juices have all but dried up, it is a wonder how I get to
watch a new dream every night! The brain of ours is indeed an incredible organ!
