How I wish.
I'd love my job a lot more if I didn't have to *go* there everyday. I like work, it's exciting and all I wish getting there wasn't such a soul sucking drain. I hate the commute, it's quite reasonable to hate commute in Mumbai, it sucks, and at times it can be dangerous.
Work is not just 9-5. It's getting up at 6 to be ready at 9, it's reaching home at 9 after leaving from work at 7. Then, at home, checking work mail (Most weekends, I refrain from committing to any activity that will keep me away from a computer for more than 2 hours at a time because like it's brother Crime, Advertising never sleeps).
I'm going nowhere with this post, there is no wise observation, no suggested solution (Though I'd like one optional day when I can work from home every week). This is just a rant, thank you for reading.

“The goal of the future is full unemployment, so we can play. That’s why we have to destroy the present politico-economic system.” This may sound like the pronouncement of some bong-smoking anarchist, but it was actually Arthur C. Clarke, who found time between scuba diving and pinball games to write “Childhood’s End” and think up communications satellites. My old colleague Ted Rall recently wrote a column proposing that we divorce income from work and give each citizen a guaranteed paycheck, which sounds like the kind of lunatic notion that’ll be considered a basic human right in about a century, like abolition, universal suffrage and eight-hour workdays. The Puritans turned work into a virtue, evidently forgetting that God invented it as a punishment.
