I probably live the life less traveled by many at my age though I'm pretty much the average. Battling a rare genetic bone disorder for twenty plus years now but that's not how my story ends. I take the joys of friendships, the serenity of solitude, the ups and downs of melancholy, drowns of sorrow and the intoxication of love. A certified coffee addict. An idiopath. A social networking junkie. A movie freak. Pet lover. Good food. Sunsets. A simple creature.

How does it feel like working on your work bubble?

Haven't got any serious conversation today except from all the busy-buddies in the house. As a part of my regular routine in the past few weeks, I always end up waking late in the day when everyone seems already done with their breakfast. This is what you get when you stayed up late long hours sitting, thinking, writing here and there, anticipating and somehow wishing all your hard work has ever paying off. Just get myself on track with almost everything I still manage to steal some time this afternoon to take a nap. Tweaking for ideas? Sadly, there is none and I'm eventually getting used to this sleepless night nowadays. How about that?

This is a sad case when most of your time eaten up with anything goes throughout the day. I'm just hoping that I am not losing my sense of reality in the long run. I don't know. Does folks who work in IT, cyberspace or whatever you may call it feels some sort of that feeling where they are stuck in a bubble of redundancy which it seems like you can never see all your finished hard work at the end of the day, if ever there is. In any case you can think of, it is still does work to some people and to some don't actually work at all. I guess, its just a mind over matter because you have no choice and much better off enjoy the moment as well. How about you? Do you enjoy your work? Or love your work no matter it is? Or fed up? Of course!

According to Forbes.com, here are their top 10 tips on how to keep whatever odd job you have right now.

"Don't walk around saying, 'It's Wednesday — hump day — and Friday will be here soon.' "
-Andrew J. DuBrin, a professor of management at the Rochester Institute of Technology in Rochester, N.Y.

DO's or DONT's

1) Know what's expected. - Remember whom you work for and why.

2) Money isn't everything, daw? - You have to work with passion not only for paychecks.

3) Leave the gossip to the supermarket tabloids. - Idle chit-chat at the water cooler is a fact of life and acceptable, and is even expected in small doses. But don't chatter endlessly about who's in and who's out.

4) Flubbing deadlines. - Deadlines are real and must be met because, believe it or not, the world doesn't move to your beat.

5) Cubicle etiquette counts. - Remember: Privacy's nonexistent in a cubicle, so don't have phone conversations that you don't want others to hear.

6) Personal e-mails are death. - Here's a basic truth many employees miss: The company e-mail system is for company business. Don't use it to gossip, and don't write anything that you don't want read by the boss, because many systems save deleted messages to a master file.

7) Isolation leaves you vulnerable. - Extend the simple courtesies to your co-workers: good morning, good night, please, thanks. Your mother was right: Manners count.

8) Don't climb ego mountain. - No one likes an egomaniac, and for good reason: They're boring, obnoxious, trivial people. Listen to what your co-workers tell you. Ask questions. Learn from the experienced hands. Improve your skills and boost your productivity.

9) Don't take credit for others' work. - It's a familiar tale: The office go-getter takes credit for other people's work. Such people overlook a basic point: It's dishonest. If you do this, word will eventually reach the boss, and your standing will crumble instantly. Along the way, the long knives will be out, and your co-workers will root for, and cheer, your demise. Some may even knife your aspirations.

10) Office romance invites catastrophe. - We all work long hours, and sometimes work becomes our social life, leading to romantic entanglements. This is fine if you get married then live happily ever after. What are the chances of that? Think: What will you do if the relationship ends badly? Never become involved with your boss. Your accomplishments and promotions will become suspect, and one of you will have to move to another department, and perhaps another job, when the romance becomes known. Helpful hint: Look outside the office for the sweetie of your dreams.

~Well, I'm not working in an office firm and not even a programmer who have had to master codes even at sleep but I find creating lenses as a full-time job that I ever ask for since I chose to be home-schooled now in my late college years. So far working out all the stuff for school and creating lenses at the same time is so perfect plus I gained so much learning that is much way different from a regular stereotypical colleges outside my "bubble" home. However, I still consider an ounce of interaction is a must but it depends on you as a student. I do admit that I'm not that good when it comes to the art of socialization anyway I can manage to adjust and be flexible whatever holds the circumstances.

Does all this thoughts counts or am I rambling the same things all over again? After all this is just my assumptions so the limited range of knowledge that I have just blame it on me. What a better way to view it all, remember count everything you had right now as a blessing that not everyone have what you have so next time when you're in a hurry in a bus remind yourself that the person might be sitting right next to you might be wishing to be like you no matter how you view yourself.

Nobody said it would be easy, right? I do remind of myself too! It's really hard to find that place in the sun and have that assurance hoping somehow you are still doing the right thing most of the time. At least you have a job, loveeee it! Get up, take it or leave it!
