I Have Resigned.

Filed in: Life Log — June 6th, 2004

After working one full year, I have resigned at last month. It seems to be a rather rush decision for many who heard about it. They asked “Why? Why? Why?”… Well, there are many reasons for the decision. In a nutshell, I want to make a change.

After resigned.

Things doesn’t change much, I still sit in front monitor for the whole day, except no air-con. I took two weeks to settle down and planning. Feels fresh.

Now, I have more time to do things(at least saved 2 hours from traveling), and do the things I like.

“Have you found job?”

After they knew I resigned, they will ask the same question everytime see me. When you answered the same question again and again everyday, you will feel frusted eventhough you know they care you.

Perhaps, “stay at home” is a shame?

Freelance

Able to work at home is my dream job, I always envy those can work at home. After resigned, I have the chance to be a freelance. Got a few freelance projects from an IT solution company(Lucky! ;) ).

Only need to do a weekly report to the office, I can do the work anytime I feels comfortable, either 3pm or 3am, nobody cares! I enjoy the freedom of working hour.

Job hunting

Freelance may not be long term. Still, a stable work is better. It’s time to job hunting, again. What’s different? I am not fresh graduate anymore.

I still my first attempt of job hunting… It feels like strike 4D or Toto when you receive a call for interview after sending out tons of resumes.

If you don’t realise, it is quite fun to goto a interview. You dress up tidy, goto a place where you never been before, enter a building you never see before, meet a stranger(or more), and market yourselves!

Currently, I haven’t attend any interview yet. Am busy with few projects in hands… but my mom is quite worry about me.

mom: “Got new job already?”
me: “Nope.”
mom: “Have you goto any interview or not?”
me: “No…”
mom: “Have you really find job or not?”
me: “…(feel guilty) …got lah~ Send resume loh”

Back Hometown

Mom keep asking me when will I back hometown… I know, I will enjoy very much if I back home, there are mom’s cooking, plenty of snacks, big TV, big air-con room, big bed… But, I know too, I will do nothing except enjoying myself. That’s not good…

Hmmm… About one month more no back, I will try to back hometown for few days next week. :)

Thought:
“Don’t worry. This is a milestone in my life.”

    LCF,
    The moment of power is in the PRESENT,
    Always say to yourself:-

    “My Life is Mine, and I Form It”

    You are given the gifts of the gods, you create your reality according to your beliefs.

    But do i m p r o v e your English a bit.

    yeah some idiots always tend to say that not having a job is a shame – those fools are seriously deluded
    not to say that having a job is not good, i’ve expereinced these people too, in a different way (drugs, look down on me)
    they only want to make themselves feel better
    good on you to quit a job that you can’t stand.

    Do what you enjoy the most. To ignore what other people say about you is difficult. To avoid them asking you the same question, just tell them that you need a long break: 2 months or so (you no need to tell the truth what…). In that case, they will stop asking about that same dreadful question with that dreadful look :mrgreen: …

    Working at home is much fun, like what you said. Plan some “BIG” thing … like come out with friendster site or something like that… you know, I always believe that studying IT can help us go “BIG” quicker than other career… go “BIG” not in terms of $… just think of the fame you can build, and $ will slowly come to you. Just like Linus Torvald. He doesn’t get $ from Linux, but he was hired handsomely by Transmeta because of his reputation.

    “Give and Take”. Give is always first, followed by Take.

    hi, lcf working at home is no shame.

    When you do not get a salary pay does not mean it is
    end of income flow. Put it this way – many remisers works
    at home and earns few thousands of bucks. hehe.. does this
    bring up your mood?

    I work at home too. Just make sure that my parents do not
    get into my work time. Most important is coordination.
    Plan well before schedule. This is how most famous movie
    stars attend work shifts in different hours of the day. They
    have managers to plan for them. You can plan yourself. :wink:
