work --> home <-- work Jul 03, 2006
Hi All I'm back! :hello2:

work --> home <-- work--> home <-- work--> home <-- work--> home <-- work--> home <-- work--> home <-- work--> home <-- work--> home <-- work--> home <-- work--> home <-- work--> home <-- work--> home <-- work--> home <-- work--> home <-- work--> home <-- work--> home <-- work--> home <-- work--> home <-- work--> home <-- work--> home <-- work--> home <-- work--> home <-- work

Do you have a similar life too?
Do you think there is a way to change this?
Do you have better ideas to keep a balance in life?
Anything colorful?
Stress-free?
Social Clubs?
Sports?
Cultural activities?
Any other suggestion?
I am here to listen... :D

Its just a rat race that you need to get out of .. a half hour at the gym right after you get home will energize you and you can then do more stuff .. because if you get home and slouch on the couch and open up the tv, you wont get the energy to leave again. Also a group of friends who are active out and about everynight is good too :) ..

Oh one more thing, i think people who commute from Shj-->Dxb and back kill off around 4 hours of teh day just in traffic which doesnt really help when your work day is 12 hours ..

I feel your pain .... I think I've gotten so caught up in the routine that I've lost track of the things I need to do for myself, pay my bills, re-register my car, renew my passport etc etc. When does one have the time?!?

Yes the gym helps, so does yoga! But going out after a long day at work, gym or not, just makes the next day at work that much more exhausting for me.

agreed i think the commute between dubai and sharjah is killing.

This place really needs a better transport system.

Though i stay in jumeirah. Usually the traffic back from Jebel ali(emirates or sheikh zayed is insane) really wonder how the ppl coming and going from sharjah put up with it.

I see we're all in the same ****... Welcome back Cutie btw :wink:


I personally try to go to the gym or swim everyday (at least that's what I like to believe) or go hang out in the Irish Village which is less than 50 m from my building...

I mix in sports, retail therapy and friends to balance out the whole work/home equation. All work and no play...
