STRESS AT WORK (and lazy too!)

Did you ever have a time where you don’t want to wake up and go to work?  That you practically have to drag yourself to wake up, eat breakfast, take a bath and prepare to work?  And then the feeling is worsen by the difficulty of taking public transport, standing on the bus with the worst traffic and when you get to finally got to the office, the first person you’ll see or read the email from, is the person you hate the most?  Bad day huh!  And then there are so many emails to read, so many decisions to make, and you have to inform your boss about it and she would give you another work.  And then the day passed by and you realized that you haven’t finished a single thing.  When you review the list of tasks for the day, you noticed that it all have the – in progress status.  Meaning, you have started everything but haven’t finished anything.  You then think of what you have done the whole day, and then the list goes, stare at the computer, just listening to music without doing anything, surf the net, update your blog, check your personal emails and pretend to be busy and doing something.  Whoa!  What happen?  I guess you are suffering from severe stress, which I have.  All kinds of illnesses have been appearing lately, severe headache, fatigue, deprived of sleep but in shuttle or bus during the trip to and from work you drowse off.  Sometimes you even bump the person who sit right next to you.  And then you also experience pain anywhere in your body that you haven’t experienced before.  Ahh.. What is wrong?  What would you do about that?  I guess the answer would be the answer to one of these questions:  Do you still love your current work?  If you love your current work, do you still like your present company or your present boss?  If you have no problems with work and management, do you hate someone from the office that you do not want to see him and get to deal with him every day?  Do you feel you needed a very long rest from your current work?  And lastly, do you think it is now time to move on to another work and company?  If you answer Yes, to one of the questions, then congratulations, you are now a member of the club.  J Well almost everybody feels that, especially if you have stayed long in the company.  I know I have to move on, the answer is when and where?  Stay with me as I try to answer the two questions in the coming days..  or maybe you could help me?
