that ain't me.

I just quit my day job.

I was employed at the same company for 6 years now and during those long years in service (not too long for others i know), you ask, what have I done?

• Woke up early - too early because my house was a planet away from the office. I abhor waking up early. But like most things I hate, I learned to live with it.. until recently.
• Worked for a boss who's always out of town, and I had to handle all his shit. I am so through with that.
• Photocopying. Filing. Photocopying. Filing. Typing. Stapling. Removing Staple wires. Shredding documents. Ouch too many papercuts. Too many clients screaming at my ears. Too many vacation leaves left untouched. Too many lunch dates cancelled.
  
• Been staying in a cubicle that looks like the insides of a milk carton and lest I die of boring cubicle, I quit my job.

So maybe I had it lucky. After all, the company did pay SORTA well. I didn't have to scrimp on money, nor did I hesitate going on a party for fear that all my money be spent on drinks - I had it good.

But good only goes so far. I want more.

To put it simply, I quit my day job because I got so bored. Call me idealistic, call me insane, call me dumb-ass for all I care, I want more than my job could offer, I want more than all the money in the world - I want a life. I think I've put my life on hold for so long I might be dead. I don't want to be 59 and hitting myself in the head because I wasn't able to do the things that I've been wanting to do (God I hope this isn't what they call mid life crisis)

Cheers. Welcome to my blog!
