Are holidays so marvelous ?

Your holidays are over or nearly over. And you may have the blues about that. It's understandable. But you shouldn't. Prefering holidays to office is just stupid. A kind of misinterpretation about what things really are...
Please, just compare honestly the 2 worlds, the 2 lifes you live, and you'll acknowledge that corporate life is much more better than what you are experiencing in holidays.
1. In office, you don't have kids screaming around you all the time. Yet your boss may be screaming a bit sometimes but.. you can ignore him whereas you can't ignore that little Steven of yours that has cut his foot to the bone on a rock.
2. You don't bring your wife/husband with you in office. You may feel lonely but you have plenty of single and attractive colleagues that are longing for having lunch with you.
3. You have smashing coffee for free. Instead of that disguting local drink they force you to buy if you don't want do shrivel up like a fruit.
4. You don't have to go round and round for hours just to park your car. You have your own parking space.
5. You can't get sunburns.
6. You are doing something interesting of your day.. Please don't tell me that visiting the sea museum for the third time this week is the more exciting thing you've done in your life... No, eating a cold pizza on the harbour watching seagulls eating chips neither. Sorry Pal.
7. You don't have to write postcards. Yet you must write memos or presentations but it's for people you know.
8. You look smart in your dark suit with this wonderful red tie you've just bought. Nobody can say so, when you are wearing that old soccer knickers and that dirty fishing hat.. not to mention your belly exposed to the crowd.
9. You are not compelled to smile. Or pretend you are happy. In office, it's ok if everything is not ok.
10. You don't have relatives visiting you every two days.
11. You don't get cheated when you buy a mojito at the bar.
12. In office, there are no weird people all around watching every move you make .. well, there are but they are well-dressed. And they are not THAT weird.
13. It's not mandatory to speak with idiots because it's polite to do so and because you don't want to be the pet peeve of the surrondings. Or whatever your wife/husband says in such circumstances. Ok, you have to speak to clients but they make you earn money..
So now please tell me the truth : are you not happy to come back ?
