Long and Short

Some days are long and some days are short.... It is quiet interesting, when you have plenty of work to do the day ends before you know it and some days are little on the lighter side and you keep on watching the watch to see when to wrap up a day.

The long and short of it, it is a mechanized life. Every thing is measures in numbers, how much you earn? How much leave you get? How much time remains on finish the job? How much time you have spent on the job? Every thing is measured in numbers and this has made us measure our life in numbers.

We usually get so tangled in it that we forget to give consideration those things which can not be numbered. Example would be satisfaction, positive impact of your contribution on people life, how many people think good about you when you greet them nicely… there are so many things… But here we are trying to link every thing with numbers… I shouldn’t be saying as I am the one work around figures :-)

Ah I would like to add another thing on the same subject...did you notice that either you don't have completely nothing to do or you have everything coming at the same time?
