As the mercury level rises, so does my blood pressure lately. The weather has been sizzling lately. The days seem long and lethargic, and the other thing that is short is my temper, and patience.
The humidity seem to have have an effect on the young individuals around the place I work. Sigh. Today, Murphy's Law worked overtime...when nothing went right.
A few of my 'comrades-in-arm' were already feeling under the weather. It is not just the physical exhaustion. If one was to dig deeper, we can find the root cause of the malaise that lingers.
It is tough...it is painstaking...it wears a person down.
When all that you try to do is met with resistance, and apathy. So much for the talk about the noble and intangible aspects of the job we do.
What happens when the passion and love for the work we do die? What is left to make us want to carry on? Do we deserve the ingratitude and insolence? What happens when the output of the effort comes to nought when the input has come with blood, sweat and tears?
I have not lost my bearings yet...but it feels as if the anchors I have had all these years have come loose...
Sigh...I should really be thinking this way...but it is really just one of those days.
