POst no. 873
I have a friend at my workplace..
He simply doesnt care about work anymore. In fact, he said that the only thing that bothers him is if they 'fire' him.
I spent about 2 mins thinking about the situation before i slept yesterday (thats really how much time i could afford before i drifted off to dreamland..)
About a year back when i actually went through this particular bad patch, i most prob shared his sentiments today.There was so much angst in me that i viewed everything with skepticism. Subconsciously, i was finding fault with everything and everyone.
Gradually, i realised that there was really nothing that i can change. No amount of world saving acts would change anything. Not for me and certainly not for the company. Not yet.
And since i wasnt able to change anything, there was no use letting it affect me. Why would i want to live an unhappy life because of things that i cannot influence?
I have since gotten out of that phase and moved on.
The recent episode set me thinking if this was something that happens everywhere...
Man finds a job that doesnt suit him or a company that doesnt share the same values and falls into abyss...never to recover from the set back and condemn to a life of doom.
For the moment, it certainly appears so.
