I find that the people in the office can be broadly categorised
into two types.
Type 1 - those who work in order that they can go on leave and
enjoy a vacation away from it all.
Type 2 - those who go on vacation in order to rest so they can get
back to work refreshed and more productive.
which type are you?
no prizes for guessing what type i am 
but frankly, type 2 people scare me.. this topic came about because
the boss is going on some leave in May.. made me think because
between herself and her husband, they seem to not have a life at
all.. she said there isn't a single music CD in her house, they
don't watch much tv, they don't go to the cinema, the bloody
husband has a notebook from work which he uses for work until late
at night (i got an email from him date-stamped saturday 10pm
before)
what got me thinking was that the boss actually said that she'll be
back before a big event, and that the holiday was actually to rest
so that she can concentrate on that big event..
i'm wondering.. what happens to these people when they
retire?
all they know, their whole lives, everything they are, is their
work... at the office..
just like i told one guy who comes in 7am and leaves at 9pm almost
every day.. he said he's due to retire in 2 years.. i said that
he'll seek to be re-employed under the scheme we have, and the
moment he retires is about 3 seconds before the nail his coffin
shut..
