Diary Entry

22.07.2020

I’m going through a shiny corridor and thinking how to deal with the boredom in the office today. I get
the feeling that I’m wasting another day in this cubicle. Then I think, “ I need to pay bills” so I can force
myself through the day. As I hang my Id, I see my coworkers. Some seem happy as they are looking
forward to a meeting today. Meeting, Outside of work. On a beach somewhere in Rio de Janeiro. I would
also go, but spent all my comfort money on my kid’s birthday the other day. Bought him a bicycle.
Besides, I had to pay for my medical bills as our insurance does not include dental plan. I guess people in
other countries like Australia, don’t have to worry about this.You can’t have it all, I guess. I work in data
processing department. Our cubicles are 2 meter apart and we rarely talk to each other. So we have to
make up excuses to see other human’s face from time to time. As the employer installed an instant
coffee machine 1 week ago, coffee brakes became more and more frequent. The job itself is very boring.
Half of it is actually done by algorithm, so my work is waiting for the computer to work.
