Workaholic?! Nah!

Actually wanted to jog and run but I decide to listen to my body so I walked again for another 5.6k around my estate. It was quite an intense walk because the work was getting into me. I thought by sweating it out, I will feel better but I felt even worse today.

At work, when I am not busy, I am really pretty free. When the works come, they happen to come all together. Every time I hit my seat, it will be logging on the pc and start all the way till noon. I do not have the luxury to enjoy slowly my packet lunch on my table but to gobble them quickly while reading emails or articles. I was at one point, too fed up that I stopped immediately and stay away from my desk for almost half an hour, before returning back to continue why I stopped.

Today, I nearly wanted to have rest from work, then thinking about the early interview that would be held in our office, I decided to come back in case they need any materials, I could be there to provide. I thought I would tell myself to go and see the doctor after the interview was over. But min by min, hour by hour, by the time I realised, it's half a day gone. What keeps me going, surprisingly, was my work. Only by being able to be busy, thats what could keeps me going and life fulfilling.

Although it does make me frustrated at times, but when the job is done, that is the sense of accomplishment I want at the end of the day. So don't worry for me, I know when to stop when I want to, not I have to.

As long as there is no unbearable vomits, or pains, I can still move on and work. Only when I am commited to work, I can forget even my own gender. I guess that attitude does not apply only to my work, it applies to anything I am so so engross with too.

What I want to say is, I know I may make ppl worry at times but all these worries are redundant as I know when to push myself, I know when to take a break, I know how to manage.

As for rest days, leave it on the weekends which is just around the corner!

It's the focus on work on weekdays that you treasure weekends even more.

That being said, it does not mean that you can skip your meals especially you know you have history of gastric.

Taking a 15mins to eat is not going to kill anyone.

Many of my super busy ex colleagues prioritize and insist on a outside lunch to refresh themselves during that time.

So before you assume the company can't survive without you, remind yourself it was functional way before you were even born!

I dun suppose you know what are meals,....they are not snacks. They have allocated time to be consumed.
The perseverance in you would not do you any better, go see a doctor when you need to..
