Busy People

What is more annoying than people braying on about how busy they are?

Not much.

Living in a city can be a demanding experience. There is an underlying feeling of running out of time that’s driving everyone to scurry around cramming in as much ‘Warmest regards’ crackberry sign-offs between crayfish and rocket sandwiches as is humanly
possible.

Maybe I’m just bitter due to the fact I am not as in demand as many of the people I seem to come across. I am not “absolutely chock-a-block”, “on 60 plus these days” or “missing holidays this year”. Some of these people are earning vast sums of money and will retire when they hit thirty, many are simply not.

I understand if you want to work yourself into the ground in the hope of promotion, good for you. If you’ve got an interesting job it would be good to hear what you’re doing. Barking out meaningless figures of how many hours you sit in a chair and stare at a screen surely isnt something to be proud of.

Comments that annoy me -

Q “Wow, you’ve had ANOTHER holiday?”
A “Umm, well yeah”
Q “Lucky old you eh? Alright for some!”

- Holidays are fun, why are you proud to not have any?

Q “Off home are you?”
A “Umm, well yeah”
Q “Nice of you to drop in and see us! Ha Ha”

- Well I’ve worked a full day and achieved a lot of stuff, but you’re right, you are going to sit here for another couple of hours, good for you!
