“Confessions of a workaholic”
Love and work are two things definitely opposite to one another. If you keep on loving you’ll forget your work, if you keep on working love will surely fade so combining the two is a hard obstacle just like the confessions coming from a guy who loved his girlfriend so much but refuses to commit to her due to his work. Here are his confessions:
“It was Christmas Eve and once again it was a busy day here in the call center. I wish I was at home eating Noche Buena with my family. Oh, how I love to eat that roasted chicken! It’s almost Christmas and the line is off the hook. I cannot even go to the bathroom to pee. That morning I went home and slept. My cousins approached me and woke me up. They said they will go to the mall and shop, even though I am tired like a pig I stood up and went with them. “
“At the mall I kept on seeing the graphics in my computer! My hands keep on typing in the air. I cannot stop thinking about work. Well, that’s because I am saving money because I wanted to finish my schooling. I got a phone call; it was my girlfriend, Gale. She said we will meet in a restaurant. So I went there and sat down with her. My hands just kept on typing and twitching. I cannot control it. She then grabbed my hand and said “Relax, you are not in work. Just have fun and enjoy this day” I smiled and ate with her. We went back to the mall and went on window shopping. I really wanted to buy her those expensive pair of earrings she kept on looking but I still have lots of debts to pay.”
“That was the start of my addiction, my addiction to work. Whenever I hang out with my girlfriend or friends I cannot stop talking about my work. I was hospitalized one time but during my stay I kept on calling my boss about my work. Even the time the needle was inserted to my veins I kept on twitching my hand and asking the nurse if they have wi-fi connection.”
“My girlfriend became frustrated. She kept on ignoring me since the day she told me to quit my job because I was getting sick. My body was getting weak and that my vision was getting blurry. I refused to quit my job. I really wanted to buy her those earrings before our 4th year anniversary. I almost have the money to buy her those diamond earrings. Then I got the worst news ever. Gale told me she was pregnant and that she wanted to leave me.”
“I was devastated and wanted to commit suicide. I kept on blaming myself for being so lazy that’s why she left me. I kept on implanting in my mind that she left me because I did not have a stable career and that I was poor and cannot give her what she wants. Since then we lost communication. I kept on working and working. I was promoted as supervisor and as thrilled that all my hard work paid off. I then started schooling and graduated college. I got a job abroad and was getting paid wealthy. Everything was perfect but it seems that there is still something missing. I wish I had the time to buy Gale those earrings so I went to online and searched for it. Fortunately it was still on bid and bought it.”
“Then one day, I saw her. She was walking beside the church holding a young boy. I followed her and saw where she lived. It was a small “kubo”. I felt pitiful yet guilty. I knocked on her door and said it was me. She went outside with her face to the floor. She cannot bear see me. She then spoke “Please leave. I don’t want to see you.” I grabbed her and hugged her and said “Please! I want you back! I have a good life now! I can give you everything you want. Here, I have a present for you.” She then pushed me away and locked the door. That day they left and were nowhere to be found. I soon found out that the boy’s name was the same as mine. I was devastated and realize he was mine. Until now I am still looking for my real treasures, my wife and my son.”
