Tea, please 請給我茶,謝謝



連續工作第九天,進入日夜半顛倒的小夜班第二天,頭腦不清楚,腸胃不舒服
但是今天又有另一個器官想加入罷工行列

在公司,我用Starbucks的塑膠保溫杯
雖然是有點設計,但是塑膠杯用久了之後,還是會覺得,生活怎麼變得這麼沒質感
加上工作在一個永遠都堆滿了傳真,報紙,筆記,帶子等等,看起來像個難民營的辦公室,我感覺我的眼睛好想吐

這個時候,我突然間想要喝茶
我想要喝一杯用著漂亮的杯子裝的茶

當大家期待著跟朋友見面,出去玩,我卻想要一個人躲起來喝茶
再這樣繼續下去,我看我完蛋了

It's my ninth straight day of working, and my second night on the night shift. My mind is nowhere to be found, and my stomach lining is getting thinner and thinner and may soon disappear all together, along with my mind. But my stomach's not the only thing that's feeling queezy these days, it's my eyes too.

I use a plastic insulating mug from Starbucks at work, and even though it's got a little bit of design in it, but when it's plastic morning, noon and night every single day and night, it gets a little depressing. Add to that an office that looks like a refugee camp cluttered with faxes, newspapers and memos, if my eyes could, they would be vomiting.

Well, maybe it's not that bad, but it's really gotten me the craving for a cup of tea. A nice cup of tea in a nice tea cup.

Hm. Just when everyone's looking forward to spending time with friends and going out, I'm craving to be by myself with a cup of tea. This can't be good. If this continues, I think I'm going to be in trouble.
