I have worked with a company for a decade and have a rewarding career. To be honest, my career seems to be the only thing working out in my life. So, I sort of bury myself in my work and spend hours in the office. Most people, including my bosses, think I am very dedicated to the job and always compliment my work ethic. I am the first one to the office and the last one to leave in the evening because I have no social life. Even when colleagues ask me to join them for a drink or meal, I decline and choose to order some take out. This all began after my last heart break and I admit I haven’t quite processed my emotions and keep using work as an escape. My sister keeps saying all the emotions will one day erupt like a volcano but I am in denial and haven’t even attempted to go on a date since it happened. Well, last month I had to go on a business trip to Lowell, MA and was looking forward to it. Apart from work, I also love traveling and seeing amazing places. I’ve been to Lowell before and knew it was going to be winter so I packed accordingly. The hotel that my company booked was awesome since they had heating in all rooms and this kept me nice and cozy during my stay. My trip was good since I got to close a huge deal, but once more I just spent time in my room when I wasn’t meeting the client. My sister wasn’t amused to hear that and she keeps hoping I’d go on a date.
