Monday to Sunday

已連續三十多天沒有放假，無間工作，五勞七傷，眼紅頸腫，去看醫生，才知道是眼角膜發炎和頸部發炎。可惜自由工作者自由得沒有病假，昨天看完醫生後，便到星巴巴繼續寫稿。
Barista小哥看見我準備吃藥，可能以為我是打算以咖啡送藥的烈士，於是主動來問我是否需要水，我因為有自備裝滿暖水的保溫瓶，所以婉拒了，但他最後還是去倒了一杯水給我。
今天一早又到星巴巴開工，Barista小哥拿咖啡給我時又拿了一杯水給我，還問我病好了沒有。（星巴巴請給這貼心小哥加人工！）
病當然還沒有好，但工作堆積如山，家裡又吵得難以工作，所以星巴巴朝九晚六的日子還是要過。
最近因工作需要，看了BBC紀綠片Where the Wild Men Are with Ben Fogle，其中一集是一名英國金融才俊27歲時毅然辭去工作，到老撾過自給自足的野外生活。主持人問他當年為何有此決定時，他說：“Monday to Friday I dreaded waking up, I’d get up, I’d get on the tube and I’d look around at all the kind of ‘grey ghosts’ who’ve lost the will to live and I, well I didn’t look at them, because you don’t, everyone avoids each other’s eyes and at that point I started to think I need a change of direction. I think the real epiphany moment came when I looked around when I was working in the office and looked around at everyone and I looked at them and everyone’s just typing into their computer, and I thought I don’t actually see what we’re producing here, all we’re doing is sending emails, we’re not producing anything of any value here and at that time, I just thought I’ve never built anything, I’ve never made anything, I’ve never had that kind of tangible result of something in my hands and at that point I thought yeah, that’s what I want to do.”

一二三四五六七多勞多得真的很累，但幸好不是打office工，否則應該會Monday to Sunday I dread waking up。
