Mid-Life Crisis on its Toll


LOL. Exactly what I am feeling right now. I call it a mid-life crisis.

Job, job, job. I envy those (of course aside to those patriotic business owners) loves their job and look forward to going to work every single day. It's not that I hate mine. I love it. Wait... in fact, I have a hate-love relationship with my job. It's not as glamourous as those Marketing Professionals handling Heneiken advertisement nor those, in Samsung or Apple, but it is interesting to a certain extent with all the jets and aircraft that I can chance upon which are not part of an average person daily lifestyle. However, the job scope is just not satisfying my career craves, not really in monetary terms but more of the skill set that I wish to acquire. Sitting on the chair and waiting for heads-up is not exactly what I am looking for, and I can rant on and on about it...

Too many people want to live victorious lives, but they don’t want to put up with the battles. - Peter Ng, motivational trainer.

Yes, yes yes. Ok. Motivational quote indeed but some do not just have the opportunity. After job-hunting for several months, went for countless interview, and sent ridiculously amount of resumes, I can conclude that the job market is not lucrative right now. The wise man says, be fortunate that you are employed compared to those who aren't. But on the other hand, you must compare yourself with someone better off than worst off in order to be a better person right?

Nevertheless, at least with all the interview and job offers, I understand my market value out there. Hopefully, I will be able to get out of this mid-life crisis soon.

Ranting while at work. LOL.
