Sometimes -on Mondays usually- when I am the first person to get to an elevator bank at work, I intentionally press the Close Door button even though I know people are standing only a few feet from the door and are scrambling to get in. I just need that few seconds of silence before I go up the jungle of another work week.
Posted in hits and misses, work is a four-letter word
HAHAHAHHAHAHA.

I can so relate! Though I now work in a building without lifts, I know the feeling of savoring those few precious moments of silence before you plunge into yet another whirlwind week of work

Ahaa, kayo din ah! I try to avoid the glaring stares, I just hope they won’t recognize me the next time i’m in the same lift as they are.

I do that too. There are simply moments when we need to be alone. It’s part of a reenergizing process. Kung puwede nga lang eh hindi na ako papasok during those days. I’d rather be home or somewhere where I can spend time by myself.
That’s ok, Abby.

Mondays are always particularly cumbersome! When I get past the day, I get by. It’s the start of the work week after the weekend that’s always kainis.

I can so relate. Alone time seems much more precious when we know we are about to have a challenging day/week ahead, kahit sa elevator man lang…

catching up!
i do that too! not in our building as our booth is on the ground floor, but sa building nila edward. there are a lot of bagets there dahil sa call center, and sometimes i’m not in the mood to hear their chatter heehee

Hehe, style ko din yan. Minsan pag may kasabay akong ka-officemate na ayaw kong makipag-small talk ilalabas ko yung cell phone ko tas kunyari may tinatawagan ako para wala nang chikahan pa.

I couldn't, for the life of me, remember the story of The Little Prince. I'm pretty sure I read this when I was younger. I gave the book as a gift to J a couple of years ago, and I'm now re-reading it again. I'm seeking comfort in the book because there are times, well several times when grown ups just don't get me. You know why? Because grown ups can be very strange.
CURRENT UPDATE: STILL AT IT! MUST.NOT.GIVE.UP.
I bought this book when I received the NYT Book Review about a month ago. I went right ahead and bought a copy because it seems very promising. I really wanted to give it a chance, but every time I leaf through the pages it feels like I'm going through a mild depression. But I won't give up, I believe it too, deserves a second look.
