What's Your Beef?

Advert: looking to buy a slower lifestyle, would pay good money for extra time.

How many of us have camped in the office till the wee hours of the morning wondering if it's all worth it? We put in such long hours, yet the work never finishes. It's like a bad joke, and everyone gets it but you.

The strive for the comfortable lifestyle means we work super long hours, go home stoned out from one too many emails and drag ourselves to bed just to start again in 5 hours.

Who's actually enjoying the lifestyle we so crave?
Are there friends who actually get paid tons to work 8-hr days? Who are these people, better, who are their employers. Someone help me get out of this mad mad world!

My back hurts, my eyes are dull and dry, my throat feel like sandpaper and I haven't had time to pee for hours. The weird pressing (almost tingling) feeling in my kidneys is a common sensation, afterall I'm typing this and still no where closer to the loo. It just takes too damn long to walk the 3 mins to get there...when I return there are always 10 more emails in the inbox! It's like a conspiracy,you look away from your (finally) all blue mailbox for a sec and 20 unread mail miraculously appear. sigh.

Didn't we use to have more time when things travelled by snail mail? Are we more efficient or just more demanding, we now want to communicate EVERYTHING! Each word, each sentiment, each thought, each demand. sigh. get a life. I need one badly.
