relativity and pressure

It was the first ever saturday in the 6 months of my so-called 'working' life that i decided to actually get to work- nope this sudden urge to work on a weekend was no by-product of peer pressure, merely that of friday evening's laziness..my work's always been timed comfortably, flexibly too. never had rush hours. i have an awesome gang there and not to forget really awesome senior collegues .but this was my 'everyday' and my everyday,was not something i ever contemplated about anyday until yesterday.. until yesterday when i met someone who seemed a wee bit more than jus tortured, who actually worked on a saturday cos he had deadlines to meet. for one, i felt amazingly useless!! I realised my happiness was challenged on such relative terms. relativity, damn you! ... maybe i really need to think of what i have actually achieved being where i am now- but then again, if i rationalise on the happenings of the past, how am i gonna end up? happy ?depressed ?philosophical?--am i happy having this easy life or am i frustrated abt it?? confused..

Be happy that you feel useless without working like a dog coz I am sure that guy who was just a bit more tortured thinks he is wasting his life working like a dog. So just chill.
