Time's up

After work, she called a technology car but there were too many so many stalls were immediately canceled. Luckily, a colleague was driving a private car just out of the gate, so he waved her off to ask her. The street lights splashed yellow, the car horns were loud and inside the car were two people stuck to work but could not escape.

She asked him: Is there any way to go home without your brain automatically putting off all the work?

He smiled slightly: Yes, crashed the car into an electric pole. After that, the doctor made sure he forgot all the phlegm.

Sister: You are stressed but I still wonder if you would let me be hospitalized?

Anh: Why not now? The work is so close to me, as is the way I stick to customers.

Sister: As for you, stick to the deadline as if it were a tricky period. Let's talk seriously! Will you go home to work anymore?

Mr.: If I don't, will the project run itself? Many times while sleeping, the mind automatically opens Excel, appearing on a budget board with the Chinese characters as if it is in the cards.

Sister: Therefore, we are like two Japanese students living on documents and contracts. There is no way to turn off your brain when you go home!

Anh: Yes. Open the refrigerator, get beer, turn on Netflix. The brain is disconnecting itself.

She laughed: I tried it, then watched the customers call out their names that night, the boss called, and my mind jumped at the number. And what is said, can you escape?

He: well, sometimes I have to turn off my phone, I'm missing somewhere! But saying that, turning it off for a while is regrettable, no matter what, I am a workaholic, I can't escape. Even when I go on vacation with my wife, I still go crazy at work.

Sister: You too, I told you that after 7pm is family time, no work is done. They nodded at each other after listening, then at 7:05 a.m., they called! And I still listen, because I can't lose customers!

Anh: So who are you blaming? The problem is not because work is dragging me, but because I don't dare to deni it. He even tried to go home once, left his phone in the living room, and did not open his laptop. But what? My mind kept struggling, not knowing if the boss sent me an email or not, whether that contract had been signed yet? When I passed away, the report lacked a column of data.... Finally, I rushed to the living room and opened my laptop.

Sister: I understand. It felt like... having a child without knowing what they were doing at school!

He: So the final solution is to learn to accept imperfections. Let's continue with the unfinished work. And if you try your best but the quality of your work is only at that level, don't be self-conscious. The other day, reading the news in the newspaper, the talented actor was handsome but died too young to see the value of life. If I don't know how to love myself and improve the quality of my life, everything is meaningless.
