Night and Day

1057hrs..
The rest day is supposed to rejuvenate and recharge, and yet I come back to work feeling more tired than before. Public holidays are like traps. You look forward to them with excitment and anticipation that you have the day off to do this and that. The day arrives and you wake up late to find that half your day is gone, and before you know it, the day is over. The next day, you are suddenly jolted back to the reality of work as if the holiday never happened, yet you know that it did, and it leaves you feeling all sad that it is over. As you sit at your office desk feeling lethargic, you go and check the calendar for the next public holiday.


It's not so bad, the next one is 11 days away. That's not that far away to look forward to.
