Working late

These days, due to work pressure, I am not getting time to make any entries, stay in touch with friends or any side activity apart from work.

Its becoming common for me to sit late at night and leave in the morning. Soemtimes, I sit for work, sometimes, sicne it became late and I cant get any transportation, I had to sit late and leave in morning.

when I sit late, people start gasping, you are a gal/lady, you got to leave early. you cant sit late blah blah blah. If I start late from work place, then I get the comments, you cant go out late at night, you ae lady, chennai is not safe at night times, blah blah blah.

And then my parents call me and tell me you got to leave your job if you want to sit late, you have to get married and our culture doesnt accept this.

God, I donno how many things I have to hear everyday. I have some goals and plans. To reach them, I got to prove that I am capable of doing anything. And its common to get hurdles at workplace, for some reason we will be having problems. And while the job is to deal with clients, we will be having more pressure than usual. Cos, we have to meet the expectations of both the management and the client. If anyone is not satisfied, life is nothing but hell.

And I am facing similar situation, to comeout of it, I need to put in extra effort. And for that I need to sit late. They dont understand this and say if you want, you work from home.

Well, if I am put up with parents or if I am on my own/place I can set according to my wish, I can do as I wish. I am put up with my aunt, whose relatives also stay in same compound. Though she takes care to provide me with good comfort and food, as well as keep track of my well being and some minor tasks, there are some limitations that could not be explained. Cos of them, I feel uncomfortable. But, still I stay there, cos of her. She is my aunt and I cant hurt her.

Now that we are shifting to a new office, I am thinking that if the distance increases, I will look for an apartment near office and shift.

let me see.
