My Life With IT

Often, my attempts at organising gathering with friends have revolved around the text messaging and emails. All details must be stored inside before being sent out. Another round of replies to and fro before we can finally decide on a date and time.

At the same time, when the date arrives, there are last minute withdrawals and other usually-not-free pop in to join in the gathering. It used to be spontaneous until we entered the working world whereby work has to be priority number 1. It ate into over lives until our lives has to be scheduled against work and not the other way around.

Sometimes I do wonder why we work so hard but we’re unable to get away from work when it’s truly necessary to take a break from it. After so many text messages, my recent gathering had to be canceled due to unknown reasons besides the low attendance rate. Families and newborns play a part in the reduced number of gatherings too.
