World of Leion

I cannot say that I am very happy about my current job. Though I have good colleagues, I have my fair share of complains about my job and the company I work for. At times, I feel like I am complaining too much. Everyone else is living a similar life and here I am whining about my life, which is not worse off.

I have never felt secured about having a contracted job. Even if I were to be employed as a permanent staff, it takes no more than an email or letter to get me off their payroll.

I was afraid. Very afraid indeed when I did my bold move and quit a year ago. Afraid that I will not find another job. Thinking back, I think I did miss out a part of my income. This job pays meagerly. But I felt I did learn a lot. Much more than if I stayed in my well paid job in a storeroom. I dragged my best friend out of job and caused him depression for quite some time too. This I feel bad.

This article by Steve Pavlina hits me right in the spot about how I feel about employment.

I felt I have lost my freedom. Not to say that I have a great social life to begin with, working has now hindered my spending of time with my family.

Suddenly I feel like coming out of my coward shell and be out of job!
