48
48 hours - that’s all that it takes to drive me nuts. I am torn between the umpteen things that I have to do (like bringing my clothes to the dry cleaners), the umpteen things that I want to do (like curl up on my sofa and read all day long) and the umpteen things that I shouldn’t do because this is my darned vacation (like check my work email every two hours just because it blinks with new mail). Now I remember why I never take leave and sit at home for no reason - this post is to remind me the next time I am overworked and dream about hartals.
I think I will make a to-do list tomorrow - is it just me or can’t “normal” people get on with life without a predefined set of things to do?
Did everyone really like Brick Lane? I just don’t get why there were so many rave reviews.
Brick Lane was highly overrated - mainly because no one else has written about the Bang;ladeshi community in East London. It was not written well at all.
As for needing lists, yes all normal people do need them. Those who don’t are just plain disorganised and don’t let anyone tell you any different!
I want a holiday to sit at home and do nothing but read. Why ever did I go back to work?

Wish someone had told me that abt Brick Lane before I bought it - didn’t read a single bad review. Aargh! But good to know I am not the only one..:)
>>Why ever did I go back to work?
Bet I will be asking the same question next Monday!
