Online Class Notes (Jesse) [15.5]

When I was writing this diary with me finding that I don’t have anything to write except talking about my work, so it means that my work has been taking too much time in my daily life. Even I have been spending most of time on my working, but I’m not a workaholic person, because if there is no life, then working and earning will become meaningless. But as of now, I can’t balance my work and life very well, I think the current situations that game companies usually be busy, and I’m a team leader with me having more responsibility are the part of reasons, and the other part is when I have had some work achievements with me needing to keep the working result standard and even need to do it better. Therefore it seems like I have been hanging in an awkward situation with me having no way back, because it’s hard for people to give up something that they owned.

When I was writing this diary (which took 2 hours) I was finding that I didn’t have anything to write (which is really common for me) except talking about my work, so it means that my work has been taking too much time in my daily life. Even I have been spending most of my / the time on my work / job, but I’m not a workaholic person, because in my mind I think if there is no life, then working and earning will become meaningless. But As of now, I can’t balance my work and life very well, and I think the current situations with game companies usually being busy, and with me being a team leader that / which / who has more responsibility are part of the reason / is one of the reasons, and the other part is when I have had some work achievements, I need to keep the working result up to standard and even need to do it better. Therefore it seems like I have been hanging in an awkward situation with me having no way back, because it’s hard for people to give up something that / which they have / they have already attained.
