Lonely at work

It gets very lonely at work sometimes.

I tend to work quite intensely, so I'll be juggling many tasks at a time. Interactions are also mostly transactional in nature. None of the long coffee sessions I have with friends.

So I end up opening extra windows on my computer, alternating between doing my work and peering at other worlds through random blogs. Or refreshing my email wondering if anyone wanted to contact me today. Or I find myself checking my handphone screen for that little envelope sign.

A quote from Khalil Gibran as food for thought :
'My loneliness was born when men praised my talkative faults and blamed my silent virtues.'
