Recently I have been busy with my work because the amount of work is increasing a lot. After being off work, I have been tired. Every time I come back home, what I want to do is to lie in the bed. In addition, I realize that it’s easy for me to feel tired oftener than before. I wonder if it’s related to the age. So under the circumstances, I fail to insist on what I have regularly done before. For example, I haven’t been keeping a diary for a long time. What’s more, there is a book that I have been reading a part of it and never pick it up and continue to do it.

Compared to my colleagues, my amount of work is bigger than them. In the beginning, I think I’m not used to the amount of the overwork, but as a week passed by, I found it hard to adjust tiring body to the present amount of the work. Then what I asked was to take a day off every week, which is very reasonable. So the leader promises to please my demand. He just agreed to do that but was not active in making it. So I had to urge him to keep his word and he came up with a idea that I must rearrange the amount of the work with another colleague on my own. In order to have a- day holiday, I thought off my plan but that colleague didn’t agree and what he wanted is to enjoy the two-day’s holiday every week. I couldn’t agree to add his one day’s work to me. At the same time, I felt that how selfish and mean he is. What he wanted to have more time to relax, no matter how much work the other would do. However, what made me most was that leader. He had agreed to my plan but promised to rearrange my work with that one and replied to me later. As a result, he failed to do that and asked me to change the work with that colleague by myself. He knew how much work I had to do every day and still asked me to find a new way to solve my problem and make that colleague pleased. Having checked the work table, I found that if he would agree to my idea, his amount of work will decrease on those two days. In fact,  what he wanted was more and to have more free time. He didn’t care about how much I would undertake.

I know this is not fair to me. I don’t want to sacrifice my life to work for those leaders every day. And I won’t sell my life by earning that money. So I mad a phone call to that leader if you couldn’t satisfy my need, you’d better ask others to do the extra work. Then I rang off my phone and could not give in to them.
