Another Monday Morning…
November 14th, 2005 -- Posted in rants | No Comments »After 150 over Mondays I’ve struggled out of bed unwillingly to head for work, I’m still faced with the usual post-weekends blues. That’s right, it’s not ‘Monday Blues’ but the post-’holidays’ blues along with all post-weekends and post-publichols alike.
Long gone are the days when Monday Blues were less noticeable during school days, when time-table changed by the quarters and when I used to start the school weeks on Tuesdays. Working life start on Mondays and ends Fridays irregardless. The change of mindset from 3-4 off-peak days to full 5 work days weeks is a long process. I must admit I have still not accustomed the auto-weekends-to-Mondays-switch.
I’m no longer complaining the inactivities I’m faced over weekends. I’ve gotten comfortable with spending some quality time with my wife and also extra time to play around with music-mixing. (Now coming to my on-going mentioning about my music-mixing hobby, I’d tell another story in separate post.) Without the must to finding new things to overcome boredom, we now find quality time together over weekends just doing the usual things, even doing housechores and laundry. Sound sweet and almost out of a fairy tale, doesn’t it?
Well… not exactly. When you are faced with someone consistently for 2 days every week, familiarizing an individual’s personality and body language, there can easily be times of constriction on space. When you are becoming so predictable and likewise having in your mind someone whom you can predict almost every moves and words, your automotive sensors would start to get lots of firewall parameters.
Don’t get me wrong. This is not a complain, nor is it a bad thing. It’s just a phase to get to know your partner better in a way. Yes, many who have had long cohabitative relationships would have argued that a couple should delegate some time and space for their individual selves. I would not disagree, but I think it is still possible to maintain a sticky relationship if each knows how to assimiliate the other’s behavior. When I feel like doing something on the computer, she’d leave me be and do some chores. When her part is done, I’d take a break and let her surf the internet while I start my part. When both parties get involved with mundane things like housechores, conflicts can be avoided.
That’s my thought for a Monday morning… (Jeez, I sure have a long week ahead…)
Oh! Btw… Great news to share! I’ve got my new role at the newly merged company. In other words, I’m offered a job instead of being classified redundant… so… YAY!!!
