087CHECKMATE!
posted by sherliez on February 16th, 2009
Deciding to leave my work here in the Philippines as a Quality Assurance Specialist has never been easy. Living in my comfort zone where everything seems to be moving but in reality it’s all going in circles. I grew tired of the constant game and decided to move forward.
I had to think about all the reasons why I bid my farewell. These may not sound right to you but who cares!
1. Money
I got a big debt. Not because of overspending using credit cards nor betting in casinos and I don’t even borrow too much cash from my coworkers. I just want to speed-up my payment for the house loan I made three years ago.
2. Career
I feel that my career is not growing. No matter how much work I put in. Movement is just a figment of my imagination. I know that there is no perfect job. It will never find me unless I do something about it.
3. Personal Life
Change of environment is what I need badly. I am sad that I will miss the friends I met. But we all need to accept that life does go on. Never believe in the common saying a rolling stone don’t gather moss because it gathers piss and shit.
The future may look bleak today but I know somehow that everything will be better. I could just be craving the challenge again of living a new life and discovering a new city, meeting new sets of people with different cultures, or battling for that best job in the city.
May the force be with me.
