Its my day off from work. I have been working for four days non stop starting from Saturday through to Tuesday. I have missed the sense of comfort that a day off brings. So today I have done pretty much nothing except sit in front of my computer and catch up on all the stuff that I have missed in the past four day which is pretty much nothing really.
A long time ago I had a job that involved me being available almost 24 hours a day seven days a week. In those days a day off was something to be cherished and I would screen my mobile for calls from the office. If it was really important the guys at the office would call from their mobile and I would answer them but most of the time even they knew the importance of a day off as it was the same thing to them also. So they would feign calling from the office line and tell the bosses that I was not answering my mobile. Later I would tell the bosses that I had left the phone somewhere and so was not able to answer it.
Its a bit too soon for me to start the same system here and I am not sure whether this new job would require me being available all the time. I am hoping not so. After all it is a job not a career.
