Where did the little birds fly...
...I wonder every morning as I walk along the sidewalk past a garden with wooden birdhouses on the trees.
It's winter, they flew to the south, to some warmer regions.
〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️
How I wish I could sometimes turn into a bird and fly somewhere far...
〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️
Far from this city where I live and work (polluted air, noise and traffic jams), far from business obligations, far from winter...
Has it ever happened to you that due to the omission of one of your colleagues or business associates, you are burdened with a much larger volume of work than you should normally do?
Due to the ignorance (or inability to implement the project properly) of one business associate, since November last year I have had additional activities related to some administrative tasks, which fell on me "Neither guilty nor responsible".
Instead of a few hours a month, because of that omission, in order to get everything in order, I have activities a few hours a week, and sometimes even a day.
I was brought to the breaking point. My fuse is cut to the max...
💣💥💥💥
I do not engage in activities that are under my responsibility. Instead of semi-active working hours, I sit at the computer all day and look at the monitor and tables...
My eyes hurt, my neck hurts, my shoulders and back hurt, I feel that I'm losing strength in my legs.
I don't get enough recreation, because after work I have a long journey home( the only bright spot of that long journey is the opportunity to spend time with you, when I can read and write).
And what do I have left?
Only weekends, when I try as much as I can to be active.
To walk, look at the sky, the river, the lake, the tree and the grass.
To rest my eyes and brain, move my body.
Anything, as long as I don't turn on the computer.
But, due to the workload and not fulfilling my other obligations, I have tension that I manage to handle when I'm awake, but when I sleep, I dream what I didn't manage to deal with...
I wake up, I can't sleep well...
I dream of painful situations, arguments with colleagues, associates, bosses.
〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️
And that's why I ask:
Why am I not a bird, to fly far away...
〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️
Apparently this working week has been hard for me 🙂
Luckily, it's Friday afternoon and the weekend begins, in which I already have some extra activities arranged to enjoy and forget all the troubles I've had in the past few days...
I wish you all a nice and pleasant weekend (and that you don't end up in a situation like me, that sometimes you want to run away, far away) 🙂
