Taking A Break

A asked me if I will be taking a break during the festive season? And my immediate answer was "Ya, I will be going for the operation in mid-Dec..."

And A laughed out loud...

I thought back on my answer subsequently... and realised how ridiculous my answer was. How can going for an operation be equated to a break from work??? I guess I had been psyching myself for the operation... and persuaded myself it will be a period of rest for myself... because other than being physically unable to work, I could not extricate myself from work and feel justified to "just rest".

Am I a workaholic? Definitely not. I would rather play all day...

But the commitments and obligations that come with the work had consumed me so much, that I had not been able to find a single good reason to step back. And I am not happy about the dilemma I am in. Still searching for the right answer...
