Work/Home Dichotomy

Posted by Mimi on 12 March 2009

On weekdays, I’m so absorbed with my work that I tend to overlook small things that need looking after at home, such as the case of 18 books borrowed from the National Library, now 4 days overdue. Tick-tock-tick-tock, the overdue fees are adding up — 10 sen x 18 books x 4 days = RM7.20. Still manageable…

On weekends, it’s the complete opposite. I’m so absorbed with family matters that by the time I get to work on Monday, my mind needs to take a moment or two to switch to work mode.

For now, my desk is inundated with paperwork…but can you blame me if I find myself dreaming of Machu Picchu travel?

The weekend can’t seem to come fast enough.

    I don’t blame you, because now I also want to go! LOL!

    Oh ya… that library fine is still manageable… By the way, how do you find the National Library? I would like to join as a member but hesitated because I’m not sure if I would be able to find what I want there. Hope you can share your experience! :)

    Alice: So far, most of our visits to the National Library are limited to the children’s section, on which I do intend to write a post one of these days. We usually end up having very little time for me to go to the adults’ section, so whenever I go there, I just grab the first 3 books that catch my fancy. So far, I’ve seen quite a varied collection of books there– both for fiction (Stephen King novels, ‘A Thousand Splendid Suns’, ‘Harry Potter’, ‘Nanny Diaries’, etc) and non-fiction (self-help, sewing, cooking, etc).
