When work is the drug that keeps us from reality

I hope you are not like my friend Damascene who becomes sad when Friday arrives. While the rest of us could not wait for the long weekend, courtesy of Women’s Day, the fellow was almost hysterical. To him a three-day’s break was unthinkable, obscene almost. Don’t start thinking that he’s the loser. He is a smart, social and happy- or so it seems. The problem is his job, like many out there, is the drug that keeps him from reality.
