A workaholic’s T20 confessions

1. Someone who’s so addicted to work, that everything seems double.
2. Starts with one, then mixes a couple of other. After a heady cocktail, starts all over again.
3. Stays slumped in the chair, with a morose expression and a blank screen under the pretext of “thinking”.
4. When there’s a call, swears (Gosh…work is also a 4-letter word people!) and drawls over the r’s and the l’s. Unintelligible conversation pursues.
5. Calls everybody else a “moron”, thinks everything else is “funny”.
6. Hates going to a meeting, and stifles the irrepressible yawn begging to be excused with the lamest of excuses “Oxygen depletion”.
7. Staggers around, drunk in a pile of work.
8. No hiccups, just goes on gulping it down, sometimes bottoms-up.
9. Smiles when the work is piling. Laughs when it hits the ceiling.
10. Is always right. Can’t argue there.
11. Ain’t a stickler for time. Deadlines, yes. But not the coming in or going out.
12. And once in, doesn’t bother to leave till the lights are out and the shutters are half down.
13. Will work-ass-off or kick-ass to get work done.
14. Got nothing to confide. Life is an open book. And the workplace gets most of the waking hours.
15. No one questions, not even the big B. Comes dirt cheap, yet very effective you see.
16. Rub salt, some lime and down a tequila. You’ll know what I mean. Got some more peanuts?
17. Can’t stay off it, sometimes. Not even some weekends or those weak-days!
18. Maybe it’s the hangover of yesterday. The head is pounding.
19. The watering hole beckons. The bartender is ready with the cocktail.
20. I’m headed to a de-addiction centre instead. Enuff said.
