#justathought
Why don't we try to do this together?
With 24 hours a day, an average of 8 hours each for 1. work, and 2. sleep. That leaves us with another 8 hours left, out of which about 2.5 hours are used up for breakfast, lunch and dinner.
With 5.5 hours left, 1 hour (if we are lucky) is used for traveling to work, and back. About 2.5 hours is allocated for daily chores/activities eg shower, preparing for work, cooking, wash clothes, etc.
We now have 2 hours. I start to panic. Only 2 hours left of free time for myself everyday?? No.
Remember the 8 hours per day allocated for work? You will then be required to stay up for another one hour or so to 'clear' your tasks for that day. Even when you have completed the urgent tasks, you will be given more tasks to do (AFTER working hours), just because you finished your work on time, you are efficient, and thus, extra work are pushed to you. WTF man. This abuse or what??
OK. Fine. So after that, I have 1 hour left for myself right? To spend MY time, doing the things I like. I can at least use that 1 hour to play my netball, or play the guitar, or read a book or random articles on the internet, watch videos/movies when I can, go DATING??? But no, that one hour also they wana makan. Stayed back for an extra hour already, still can ask you, "Oh, since you are here, come let's do this, let's do that.... bla bla bla....". WALAOOOOO. Pekchek untilllllll. FRUST UNTILLLLLLL.
So what I am saying is this:
For one second, one moment. For those, those of you who might be experiencing the same thing I am. Can we all take time off and think about this. Respect Our Own Rights, Give Ourselves a Break and Stand Up For Ourselves. Choose life.
Work can wait. Work can always wait, unless you are in the 'emergency' related kinda job fields like being a doctor, or firemen or police where you have to be on standby 24/7. Otherwise, please.
Work can wait. Your life won't.
