What, I have a blog?
I frequently micro-blog now, thanks to twitter and has time and again left this blog to rot.
I've been so spent in saying stuff in my head in 140 words or less and it's beginning to be new lifestyle for me because I have a chronic case of brain farts each time I sit down and try to come up with something read-worthy here.
And so.. (see there it is again those nasty nasty brain farts).
Year is almost over and I'm thinking about what lies in January when my 1 year bond expires. In the last couple of days I've been contemplating on calling it quits next year because:
(-) I feel like the liability involved in the job is too massive should I (become human and) slip
(-) There's not much room for mistake (Which in effect, limits my learning curve)
(-) The instances I feel like dragging myself to work when I wake up has doubled (that's massive!)
(-) The taxes are horrendous it's like I have one regular (day shift) employee under my payroll list
However;
- I believe I am one of those people who's spending has grown proprtionately as my earnings, thus, I cannot imagine a payday with a 5-digit salary.
- I have more bills to pay now
- My brother has 1 year and 1 semester left before graduating and I have to see his education through until then.
- I have to save if I want to spend my birthday out of the country next year.
So that's been bugging me. My job pays well as compared to most jobs and I don't think I can easily find one should I have the urge to call it quits anytime soon. I guess I just have bouts of dissatisfaction because the taxes elude my rational thinking and plus I am in prime time shift (8-5pm ET) which exposes me in so much trading (hence liability, stress, heart attack, Shin). But that's bound to change because I got the shift I wanted in the recently concluded shift bid. How I got it versus half my team wanting the same schedule beats the crap out of me but it's okay. I'm happy. = )
Oh, did I mention that I have a tendency of being irresolute? So ask me again in 2 weeks what I want.
