Dialing a number...
Its ringing...
My call is cut!
Have been noticing something for sometime now,its something that most of my friends have succumbed to and flaunt unabashed!
Call anyone today and they are always busy!!!Ask them what their plans are for the weekend and they are busy with work!!or planning the next weeks workload!!
Its like the whole of India is running on hyper drive!i really got thinking about this so called 'BUSY BEE SYNDROME' over a beer with my fiance and friends the other day when these guys started pulling each others legs about how early the other one got off work and how lazy and not focused they were to do so.Now i personally completely disagree with the whole I've put in 18 hours a days =I'm hardworking,successful and an over achiever, in fact i believe quite the polar opposite!
My funda is work hard!work fast!work efficiently!
Getting back to the point,Gen x seems to have created a new disorder to add to the never ending list that already exists!!Conversations like"I'll call you back am in a meeting","Working over time this week","Cant make it for the movie somethings come up at work!"are daily occurances in the vocabulary of Genx.
So why the devil is everyone pretending to be so freaking busy!!??!!
This Gatorade powered generation caught in a fast paced constantly changing world has created the impression that working longer means working harder.[And if you really don't have that much work you jolly well pretend you do!!]Getting off work early is associated with aimless less,lack of focus in ones career.Parents and society too are to blame for reiterating these perception.Movies,theater,ad commercials all showing the overworked individual as a successful professional makes one believe that this is the way to go.
The end result an over worked,over tired generation of youngsters with little or no social life,with work frustrations that build up often to t he point of exploding,nervous break downs and sorry to say a generation living in the shades of grey devoid of any colour in their lives!
