I have been off work for a few months now – something which could have been avoided but I didn’t want to.
I refused a good job at a decent place coz it reminded me so much of my earlier office – something which I should have taken but I didn’t want to.
A few days back I went to my ex-office to collect my final dues. I met the guard there who asked me where I had joined. When I told him no, he commented that time is money.
A colleague (ex) sat and chatted up with me. He showed great concern about why I wasn’t working. He insisted that I should immediately go back to work and that I shouldn’t have refused the other offer. His point was I was harming my career in the process.
Some of my acquaintances call me up from time to time to check whether I’ve got a job or not. They show extreme concern over my financial situation and how I am wasting my days doing absolutely nothing.
To all of them, I make some uninteresting noises and laugh it off. But I hate it when they show concern about my situation when they do not know even 1% of who I am. I know all of them mean well….but who are they to judge my choices in life.
And why is everything weighed with money? Whatever happened to personal choices, decisions and living life my way and being happy?

hi!
thanks for visiting my blog.
I know exactly what you mean when you talk about people who know nothing about you yet go ahead and judge your life, your condition by some vague parameters in their own minds.
Have faced it, am facing it all the time.
Dont bother with such people, smile and move on.
