Pondering Friday
I'm having that same old familar feeling creaping in again. Seems like I have this once-a-year-a-job syndrome. I'm here for 8 months now, not even a full year and I'm already developing this kind of feeling. Not good. Well, this place isn't really that bad. I'm given freedom to do what I want to do, which incidentally explains my ability to write a blog at this hour, and I'm quite happy with the people that I'm working with. Sure, there're some screw-ups and all but hey, which company can offer zero screw-ups? Not in a lifetime!
On a typical day, I come into the office and starts reading some soccer news, world news and financial news (when I'm in the mood), and also to check out a couple of forums before getting down to do my work. Now now... Isn't that great? You're paid to slack a little man! I really don't know. On one hand, I'm happy that I can read up news and get myself in tune with some of the world's happenings, catch up on my favourite soccer club news, gossip a bit on forums, but on the other hand, it's like some halt in career advancement. I'm not making headway.
Almost reaching 30 and many will say that, "argh... you're still young, don't worry too much". Now question is when do you really start worrying about it? When you hit 30s? Or when you've got a household to feed?
I'm like in a bit of a fix right now. The human nature in me is telling me to relax, take it easy while I can and let the laziness creep in, why I wanna work so hard for? Another part of me is saying, "my boy, you've slack enough. time to pull up socks and start to grind for success and results".
I don't know... A part of me is reluctant to give up the lifestyle that I'm enjoying now, while the other is telling me to move on and hit the ground. Life can be so funny. When you're out slogging like crazy, you dream of getting a job that allows you to sit down and get paid. I just hope to find a job that sits in between.
My boss briefly spoke to me about my position in the company and that he has plans for me. Until that materialises, I'm not sure for how long can I remain in this hole of mine. Hopefully I won't sink deeper inside and not being able to crawl out of it.
Till the next blog. Cheers!
