New Year's Inspiration: Have Faith


Wrong. Nothing inspires me. I'm not motivated or moved by anything. I don't write inspirational posts.

 2014 will probably be about the same as the past year and the ones before. 2013 was supposed to be a fresh start. I finally quit the job I despised and thankfully found a better one (or so I thought). Alas, it was not meant to be. Things don't seem to work out ever. Everything just got progressively worse. Twelve months on, I am sick and tired - both literally and metaphorically. These experiences have turned me into a big, huge complainer and a completely thankless person.

In light of recent events, I've decided to take solace in the following "quote" (not really a quote but it will have to do):

Olives are pressed to get oil
Fruits are squeezed for juice
Flowers are crushed for perfume
These are the methods used to get the goodness out of things.
So if you ever feel crushed, squeezed or pressed hard, it means God is trying to get the best out of you.



So I guess I need to have faith in God and hope that the best is yet to come. Slim chance of that happening though.

Waking Up (& Working) Is Hard To Do




I absolutely deplore waking up in the morning and going to work! I have to drag myself out of bed at 7:30 am to go to my office. But  first I suppress the urge to scream & shout. I'm sort of an overgrown child, the one who doesn't like school. 


Why does work have to start early?!? My brain refuses to function at such an unearthly hour. Actually, it doesn't function much anyway but the performance is even worse at the crack of dawn. Beginning the workday before 11 am should be illegal in my humble opinion. 

I've personally renamed Monday as Mourn-day because that is what it really is. We are commencing a week long lamentation. A miserable grieving process that seems endless.



I'm sure there people out there who like/love their job and are good at it. Unfortunately, I fail on both counts. I know I'm not entitled to have a great job which I find bearable. One has to work hard to get something like that. Me, I am just weary, lethargic, lazy, and a procrastinator and prefer to stay idle so that ain't happening anytime soon (more like never ever)!
