Long Long ago when first started the blog it was all about being part of the band wagon. Some of my close friends had blogs too and it was fun reading them. Over time the number of folks I know or whom I follow on blogs dwindled. Some for years there were no updates.
Am I one of them? Probably getting there.... Not so much of disinterest though. It's more of being lazy.
I spent many hours working due the nature of my job and being in a Global organization and having team members across different time zones. When I get home, I really do feel lazy to do anything. My night conference calls can being as early at 7.30pm (Singapore time) to about 10-11pm. This is the addition to the normal working hours I put in during the day. I do leave slightly earlier to make it home for the night meetings but overall i would say i work about 12-13 hours a day.
People might say, it's about working out the work life balance. But let me tell you over time, I being to believe that its all a total farce. You need the job esp. in these trying times when the company is releasing folks and also I obviously need the money. But i have to say though, some times I wonder is the job that important in my life? Can I scale down on certain things and earn lesser and yet be happy? I don't have any answers to those questions yet even though I have been asking myself that for years.
20 years in the working world, is that enough? It sure feels like I am ready to retire.
