Really, work is worship..for who exactly..is there actually someone out there who believes so? Maybe a priest..but even then its a routine job for him too.
Now im not complaining, i got one of the best..umm ok on second thought..better jobs in the world and the icing on the cake is that it all happened quite by accident. No struggles for me..but yes i have to work extra hard to prove that just coz i was lucky to get this job doesn't mean i don't deserve it.
Eating, Partying, Reading, Exploring, Observing and Writing about it all..plz do not confuse me for a page3 reporter, that i am not! I evade all such society event invites by cleverly delegating them to another fellow comrade.
But you know what sucks about my job? When other people make a mistake, only their bosses and immediate colleagues know about it, but when we journo's make a mistake..the whole bloody town is reading about it. And then they are free to make their own critiques and judgements and even write in to us telling us about everything wrong we are doing. Coz surprisingly, people still seem to hold the written word in some holy sanctimony. Everything else they've stopped trusting.. but its written so it must be true and absolutely accurate...hang on, we journos are humans too you know.
I love my work..but its not who i am..its just what i do.
