First day of work. It kind of feels like the first day of school. You have to show up to both, one because you’re a responsible adult and the other because your parents would make a huge fuss about it and you probably would be grounded (to put it mildly for the younger ones). It’s nice to see the colleagues after a few weeks (barely two), some of them you don’t like, some you love, some make bring smile to your lips, some make feel anxious, even though they work for you and normally you expect this feeling to be directed in the opposite way.

Yesterday I watched Pixar’s latest movie, Soul. It’s a great, beautiful graphics, gorgeous character design, amazing story. It even made me cry for a few times and made me think hard about my life choices and how I live. When we make decisions, do we take into account that we might drop dead tomorrow? What if we don’t make it to retirement, what happens to our lives? What’s the point of working our butts off and not actually living?

This is the first Saturday of the year. Thank goodness this year January 2nd is a Saturday, that would mean there are 2 more days of holidays before going back to work. Yes, you read me right I have a job! and I go to work, well not really at least thanks to covid-19 (as strange that this statement sounds) I work remotely, like many these days or perhaps better to say these past months.

The year 2020 is gone, with all its horrors and sufferings caused largely by the covid-19. Today was the first day of 2021, nothing unusual for me, I was a little bit unwell due to hangover caused by heavy drinking the night before! pretty standard! aside from that just a usual day. Although the vaccines are now in the picture and we all hope that soon thing will go back to normal (something that I too strive for) but we must be realistic and to take into account various facets of the situation.
