Vein in Vanity

I perform hard mental labour every single day. I am very meticulous in making observations, analysis, deductions and conclusions. But I don't get anything out of it ; no job satisfaction, no growth, no appreciation and no money - not even a couple of bucks. What service do I provide? I pass judgements… on people ofcourse.I reckon all of us do. Some of us are very passionate, performing the service full time, some part time and the others, the clever ones opt for a better vocation. Having realised I am getting nil benefits in my current position, I decided to focus my valuable energy on figuring out on how the situation can be improved to my advantage. Here are some judgement worthy situations and common reactions to it.  Skin-tone: On seeing someone very fair, he/she is undoubtedly a snob, is proud and boastful. A dark skin colour on the other hand evokes sympathy or contempt. This is on the outside while inside you are thinking how dark or fair you personally are and ...

I have a problem with the term “full-time mom”. The meaning of the phrase that i found online is, a mother who doesn't have a job and spends all her time looking after children. In this definition is the emphasis on the fact that she doesn't have a job or on the latter part of the sentence? When a woman decides to have a baby doesn't she become a mother from that exact moment? And if she decides to work after having a baby does she stop being a mother the time she goes to work?   Now that I have a baby the one main thing a lot of people want to know is if i am working. And  when I answer in the negative, the majority is appalled. A popular reason being, “A master’s degree down the drain”, “ You aren't housewife material” etc. Other reactions include disdain and even despair because “ What do you do all day at home? Don't you need a break from the baby? Don't you get bored? How can you put up with all the cooking, cleaning, crying, feeding etc etc?” ...

Now does this happen with you? You are busy, have hardly any time to breathe and have a million things on your mind! But then suddenly out of nowhere you think of all the things you could do, had you just a breather. I for one seem to shine with creativity, come up with a million topics to write, new recipes to cook, oh! And that cupboard of mine that needs to be cleaned! Sigh if only I had the time. Finally Chronos smiles upon me giving me a weekend or sometimes even more. But then I can’t seem to recollect and I wonder. What was it that I had to write about? What did I have to try with cooking? And what about my cupboard?  Also it’s about having the accessories to work with. Like a MacBook pro wouldn’t hurt you know. If anything it’ll be such a motivation to write! Then the devil that my mind is begins to grumble and this is how I manifest it ‘I have nothing to do. I am bored’. And when I am bored what do i feel like doing? Nothing and what is the only thing I wish I had? S...
