Illusion Of Overworking

I've actually written this article a couple day's ago, but due to changes in my blog engine I tried to make, it was lost (yeah, I'm a loser, I know it) and I didn't want to type it again at that moment. But finished all the work for today, read lots of everything and still sleepless, I decided to try to post it again. Wish me good luck! Well... at least some luck, please!

We love so much speaking of been overworked and underpaid.

I work so much and so well! I should have been paid more!

And, hell yes, we love speaking of our families who do not value your work.

I work so much to give them everything! Why don't they understand, I'm working now! Do they really need to bother me so many times a day? I do that for them, and they cry for attention!

Recognize yourself?

Are you really that busy? Yes, I know that myself. I am, too. Are you tired? Sure! Staring at your monitor all day round! Oh, our poor red eyes!

Are you tired of working? Are you sure? Are you really working? How do you spend the day?

Checking email every 10 minutes. Updating rss feeds four times an hour. Endlessly reading and commenting and writing and surfing and downloading and searching for something else to download. A lot of time. And your eyes! And your neck! And your spine!

Updating your software. Every single day. Every single piece of software you use and some pieces that you used only a couple times and even a few pieces you never ever used! Then googling and reading and commenting and reading again to solve problems appeared after upgrade. Your eyes. Your nerves. Your fingers!

Chatting with your good old friends online. Yeah, yeah, they're friends, you need them, they need you, you're having fun. You should be relaxing, why do you pretend you're working?

How much time do you really have for your actual work after all those things? That's why you work so much and get paid accordingly. That's why your family scream and should and want you to turn you face to them.

So please, guys, STOP fooling me and yourselves. Work, bastards! If you need more money, work more and better and for those who can pay more.

Work when you have to work. Do not pretend you're working when you're not. Kiss your wife or girlfriend. Don't miss your son's first step and your daughter's first wedding.

When have you seen your parents last time?
