Empty Cubicles

I couldn't concentrate on the screen. Not sure if anyone could, sitting in an empty hall working at 4 a.m in the morning.
Can't take it anymore. Time for a break.
I dint know what the issue was. I have often been asked this question. "So, do you like your job?"
The answer used to be rather spontaneous. "I guess, I don't know."
Many guys have quit jobs because they couldn't take the corporate nonsense. Not sure if could take it either. But you immediately start weighing your options. Is this logical? Am I being Rational?
You always wish you could do something leaving everyone around you think you are being foolhardy, but finally you pull it off, not necessarily leaving anyone astounded or accomplishing anything ground breaking.

At the end of it I have always been able to convince myself that somewhere down the line it makes sense to hold on for a while and do some hard thinking. And not just hard thinking, but also working towards it. I realized that when I went back to college for my convocation last week. Some were happy with their jobs, some weren't so they quit, some dint like their jobs but dint complain, some complained but it dint matter, some had no opinion. As much as all of us have revered our lives for the last 4 years, I guess it really does make sense to buckle up for a while just to find out if a venture is worth the effort.

Back to work. Not sure if I could see any difference in the cubicles. Its generally dead with everyone glued to their laptops. I guess it hardly matters if the chairs are empty or if someone is sitting on it for 8 hours a day.

Shit. 4:30 a.m. Work not done.

The new Year has changed quite a lot of things.
Work has gotten hectic and demanding.
Bus journeys have become quieter, leaving me searching for a nap or something I couldn't see.
I guess I will be able to.
Sometime.
I guess Sunshine does follow the Rain.
Shut my laptop.
Time to go home and grab some sleep.
