a month from now marks a full year that i've been in this job, my second job. and i can't help but feel restless.

truth is, i don't know why i'm here and not pursuing my art. maybe because i can't afford to leech off my family in the event that i become unemployed. maybe because i'm not exactly sure yet as to what to do with my life.

i don't know.

all i know is, me and the corporate world don't seem to mix that well.

i'm beginning to loathe my job. here i am, slacking way off while my officemates go about being as productive as can be.

first week into the new year and i haven't even made an iota of company-related work. god, i want to resign right this instant. not that easy, though. got bills to pay.

funny, just before i got off college, i thought i had it all figured out. i thought i had all my dreams, albiet roughly, roadmapped.

and here i am, one and a half years into the corporate world and i don't know where to go.




where are you headed?

If you can take your time and try to check out other jobs and try to find out what you want to really do.

Don't slack off until you have something else lined up. If you lose this job you will have to look for another one and you don't want to be fired for "Slacking off". You know the next job is going to check what you did at your last one.

Good luck.
