workaholic

i just had a very dramatic/traumatic experience last night... and here i am, typing my life away on a report that is due on thursday am.... yes, it is still a few days away, but with the load that is regularly dumped on my shoulder one might as well tell me that it is due yesterday... i just got myself out of flying off to yet another province.. still haven't gotten over being "air"sick for flying a few days ago. i mean, i love to travel, i love the aerial view, the scene from above the clouds, but i just cen never get used to the discomfort that i get when the altitude reaches about 2000 fee and above... i turn deaf, literally, then the excruciating pain starts, and it doesnt stop long after i have unboarded the plane...
all that in consideration, i wouldn't mind going to far away places, except now, that i now im really, truly sick... my boss just allowed me to be replaced by someone who was barely a few days old in this kind of job... ow well, i guess im too sick to care
i forget to think of my health most of the time... the daily grind at work keeps me so tightly wound up that i never seem to remember how to relax.. most of the time...
i guess, climbing the corporate ladder is much harder that climbing mount everest, physically and mentally... on the first day at the job, you just want to get through the day, and you eventually have this desire to fit in, to please your boss, to excel..... the list goes on and on, the to-do list never seem to have an ending... and before you know it, you're one of those blank-faced, emontionless, bithing-personal zombies in the corporated world... you're boss never seem to run out of errands for you, and you're too stupid to stop and think if some of those errands aere still part of your duties...
and while you do your utmost to climb the ever twisting and tricky planes of the corporate ladder, you uncannily get your own set of enemies that you probably will get ahead of despite their seniority...
so, taking all that into consideration, i am not surprised why my body is somewhat giving me the white flag...(hey, stop and smell the roses... or im going to have to flag you down...) which it did!!!
