economies of scale

People deal with things differently - and it's acceptable. It's for this very reason, we find ourselves at odds with one another sometimes and at other times, we gain social membership - to a group defined by it's members' idea of which collective trait they are gaining access to, like our circle of friends or if on a wider scale, some informal group.

I do not belong to any - and if I seem to be at any point in time, it's usually a temporary membership, just to get 'the job done'. I am what most would call a person who enjoys her own company most of the time - not out of the lack of opportunities, but by choice - I rather stay at home, than be out there socialising - it's not just the humidity but my preference for simplicity. There are moments when I do need to be verbose as with everyone, but those times are not often, and if measured by normal standards, below the popn mean. I would make up the tail ends of any distribution curve.

And so, here I am, busy with work, been on the phone the entire morning and was working all sunday yesterday. What did I do to compensate?

I volunteered with a small group who apparently needs some counselors, at least once a week, weekends.

We all deal with things differently, and my way, is just this, if the going gets tough, then let's just go overboard with the schedule and operate at optimum level. Economies of scale.

I'm already busy, doing other people's work, at a critical time when my exams are almost due - so might as well, just stretch my expertise in juggling and at least someone will be helped, someone, not in the work equation.

Economies of scale - it would keep me on my feet, my brains constantly working and perhaps I'll have less time to gripe about the situation and get more done, since i've already burnt both ends and the center of the candle. why not just burn it all?

it's how I deal with things - not taking the bull by the horns, but just thinking like the darn bull and go full speed ahead. in the worst case scenario, there isn't an interrupter which can contain the overload - and we'll just have a mini short-circuit.
