Busily Unemployed

Oiye Sats!:rotfl
You busy bee!
Unemployed? You? Naah!
I am so glad I don't even attempt to do all that you accomplish.
You know I don't play FarmVille or even keep a blog leave alone two.
I just... Exist! ....and 24 hours is not enough for me.

I need more time to daydream, to watch the idiot box, to nosh on all the banned food, and to just snore away!
By my standards you are doing great, my girl.

Carry on, carry on...:thumbsup
And oh, do change the application to "too busy to fill this"

That was hilarious. Had a good laugh Sats! Thanks for the distraction; I needed it badly after a grueling morning, erm ....doing nothing of course!:cheers

 

Dear Satchi,

What took me 12 hours to do 10-15 years ago takes 3-5 hours now saving approximately 7-10 hours. As we keep doing things again and again, we become experts in our actions to the extent of the time saved, we become unemployed. You have learned the art of how to take care of your mother and when you write about it, it shows up how efficient you are. Even one other person learns out of your posts, it will do a world of good to that person and her mother. You meet so many seniors when you visit your mother and every time you extend your helping hands, you are bringing smile in their faces. When you respond to a suffering wife giving her idea as to how to resolve her issue with her husband, when you respond to a question about a problem faced by a young mother about upbringing of a child, when you respond how to resolve MIL/DIL issue, etc. you are adding value to the life of so many unknown faces. Obviously, running the household is not a trivial exercise by any means. If you call all of the above as doing nothing, I am not sure what could be called as hard work.

Many times, we have a wrong notion of how much we make in monetary terms as a measure to figure out whether a person is busy or employed. Many divine souls dedicate their lives for the welfare of the community and they don't work for themselves or for their families. Does it make them unemployed?

In my opinion, adding value to someone's life whether it is a smile or a hug to a senior who longs for love, feeding or giving water to a street dog that is very hungry, helping a stranded person on the road to get to the destination, providing a piece of bread to a homeless person, helping a child to educate herself, etc. are more important measures to find out whether a person is employed or not.

If your heart is full of love, you are ready to help anyone in need of help, you wake up everyday with enthusiasm to do something, you are happy at the end of each day, you are using your time wisely.

However, I have a question for which I have no answer. When all the farmers are giving up their profession and trying to make their children get educated and migrated into cities, how come those who live in the cities are so interested in farming? When the villagers are enjoying the benefit of electricity, use stainless steel utensils and eat in a fully illuminated house, how come the people who live in the city, like to eat food served in mud pots in a restaurant illuminated with candle lights? It looks like other side is always green.

Dear Satchi,

Everyone has their won ways of keeping themselves busy...employed or unemployed doesn't matter. Should be satisfying for oneself. See how many are enjoying your contribution to IL? Isn't that something which keeps you busy?

So, keep enjoy doing what you like to do.

Hi satchi...
just checked our dear friend google behenji for "employed"and she told me it basically means being occupied.. so dearie thats is what you are doing and as I told you had you actually being toiling in the fields at the rate you are at Farmville you would've been a rich farmer-ess!!! and I would be your financial guide with a little bit of help from Kamalji we could've made pots and pots of money or bottles and bottles of wine from the grapes you would've have reaped!!!..
so as I'm here in office very much "employed" in the traditional way.. guess what I'm doing helping you to stay "un employed!!!!"..
take care
kerman..
P.S and please do change my name to either Kelly or Kerman in your mobile... kerman Kelly or vice versa makes me sound even more weird than I actually am!!!

 

Thank God for you being busily unemployed! How else do the rest can be kept occupied tell me Satchi! But I do have to give you - that patience to be in the virtual world! Uff! It is a job by itself. I could not do it and so let's just say you are doing it for all of us.

On a serious note, I am glad you are busy and occupied. Imagine being bored and complaining about it and not being able to do anything about it! Busily unemployed is the best way.

PS: Kerman thanks for that update on the meaning of the word "employed"

 

I love this thread.. loved reading each post... while I am not technically unemployed as I manage my own blog... I am unemployed in one sense... confused n happy staying at home

 

My dear Satchi,

The grass is always greener on the other side.I have been wanting to get retired as soon as I get a chance.I have been working seven days a week for almost fourteen years.I would almost run from my work to go home and have my own time. I have been stealing time from my work to stay connected in Indusladies hoping to get fired by my husband.He is so desperate to fire me as well.........No luck for both of us yet......ha ha.......

Love,
Bhavna
