WFH - What F**k err..? How?! Yeah, let's go with that
I just realized how godforsaken the commute to work is. I don't mind long travels, but the time it takes away from our lives is pretty much everything. Currently after logging out from work I find myself in quite a pickle. I suddenly have time to do things I want to do, like building plastic models, actually exercising, binge watching shows, or playing video games. I suddenly have roughly four hours- give or take that I got from working at home. I suddenly found the time to writing this journal entry that I have pushed aside and forgotten. It kinda feels liberating and at the same time, a breath of fresh air from the usual grind.
It's so refreshing the price to pay is a bit sad. Wait, hold up- sad you say? Let's go and divide this into two parts then.
With time being so free, the illusion of choice suddenly becomes massive and tiring. Having more free time than what you have planned for can be good on small occasions. But when it suddenly becomes a part of your life, it can actually make things worst. I get what you thinking, this can all be solved with simply planning and scheduling the things that you want to do. And sadly, that the thing that makes it worst. What the hell would I want to do? Sure I have the time to do it, but would I able to actually do something given the current restricitons. With this much free time, my motivation to do things say deciding on what to is lessened. The laziness starts to kick in, and boy it kicks in hard. There's this saying I've heard somewhere, "work expands to time allowed for it." Yea, so maybe I google it a bit and it's called the Parkinson's Law. Simply put, work takes as long as it can to fill in the time allowed for it. I can shower for a quick three minutes and be out squeaky clean, but if I give myself thirty minutes to take the shower, then I'll definitetly take my sweet time of thirty minutes just to take a bath. And it's this law that's eating me up on what I can do. Again, we could just set small goals, and schedule things accordingly, but I'm not really motivated to do any of those steps simply because the urge to wing things is stronger. Expected things yields great results, but unexpected ones are just simply fabulous.
Weird right? On to the next!
Being at home means less social events, add in social distancing and you have a recepie for the perfect isolation. One can argue that introverts like me would dwell great in this current world situation. Thing is, we still need some sort of social things every now and then just to keep us grounded and sane. It doesn't have to be grand, a small quip face to face will do. That being said, I'm missing a whole lot of people from close friends to distant enemies, cause why not. More importantly I miss her a lot. I could not wait to go out and have a cozy time with friends or argue with rivals about petty matters, but I don't wan't to jeopardise their safety. Sure there's the internet option, but nothing beats the more intimate face to face approach. I know this is quite unbecoming for an introvert and I should be thriving from the distance as I have all the time in the world for myself. But I miss my them, a lot. At least as a consolation, I have family by my side despite some bad bloods here and there.
And this turned out to be quite a long entry. I lost track on my point here or what I'd like to say, but to keep things simple- I have no idea what to do with all this spare time I have from this work from home setting and it's probably driving me insane.
Oh well, I'll just have to roll with it like we usually do. 'Till next time LJ~ ciao!
