Sha, on why she hates office/desk jobs... Yes, even the glorified ones.


  1. You sit all day.
  2. You don't get enough water.
  3. You're in a dry cold environment all day.
  4. Food is unhealthy if you don't bring something from home and excessively expensive for something non nutritious and tastes like crap.
  5. You can't eat when you want where you want.
  6. Your time is constricted to working hours.
  7. You're used and abused by your superiors who earn more than you yet do less work.
  8. You get your soul sucked out of your body little by little every day.
  9. You become fat, wrinkley, lethargic and pimpley.
  10. You make up excuses to not go exercise because you're brain-dead from workplace drama and politics -- Oh, and work, too.
  11. Lunch is an hour short.
  12. You may or may not dislike your colleagues. Most of the time it's the case of the latter.
  13. Your nights usually end at 11PM
  14. Your youthful demeanour takes a turn for the worst and you start behaving like a cranky old lady/man.
  15. You feel like snacking all the time.
  16. Some people who use the restrooms either don't flush or they flood the whole place.
  17. There's. Not. Enough. Spoons/Cups/etc...
  18. People shirk duties after they find out you pick up their slack.
  19. NOBODY owns up to their mistakes.
  20. It feels like kindergarten but the prison version because everyone behaves like a bunch of five year olds.
  21. Sometimes there's no work and other times work is flooding your space, mind, thoughts, dreams and you have to work overtime and often stay overnight.
  22. Most clients are a bunch of self-righteous, self serving morons.
  23. You lose your humanity in the monotony of Sleep-Eat-Work.
  24. You can't play games at work when you're so saturated and you need a break.
  25. No. Headphones. Sucky. Radio. Crap.
  26. Irritable colleagues who are overworked.
  27. When one person gets sick, everyone gets sick in succession.
  28. No. More. Social. Life -- Well, less than before.


So there is an inconclusive list of why I wont be a 9to5er for too long. I'm going to damn well be on the right side of the cashflow quadrant.
After I finish with work, I'll finally be catching up on the reading list and going back to the usual exercise routines of physio/occu, stationary bikes and swimming sessions.
