Carry on
It’s August, 21st, exactly one month hiatus from my last blogging. I did more enjoying life than blogging during this one month. My depression and pressure was released and everything else was just, fine.
Thought and things I’ve done while I took the break:
- Without securing the other job, I tendered my resignation. It isn’t an action without deep thought. I have decided it’s time to end my 2 years service in this big corporation. Since I have understood myself better ever and bigCo/bureaucracy just doesn’t suit me. I am glad I did it. Phew…
- The plan is to take a 3-months break, for sabatical and to ponder for new oppurtunity. But 2 weeks later after I resigned, I got 2 job offers. I chose one of it and it’s still at negotiating stage. Well, you’d never know what’d happen in life.
- Life is more beautiful and relax, as you didn’t spend over 70% of time to stay in front of computer monitor.
- Blogging. Last when I blog, I started with refering and commenting links. I was so care about site-statistics and always try to bring more readers to my blog. Anyhow, I didn’t used to be a good writer and couldn’t suddenly be one. If I keep going like that, I would have unnecessary pressure and it isn’t fun at all. So here’s another decision: from now on, blog only for myself. Take it to be journal-style blog, or no communication happen in this blog, or no readers at all (well, guess all the readers had gone if there’s any). Doesn’t matter, for what it worth, blog is a place to console the heart.
May be I am just too un-patient, can’t keep the thing going more than a few months. I admire people who could do things consistently. I am still trying.
I found my blog reading declined. For once blog reading is the main activity of the day and I always felt I can’t miss out any interesting posts or intelligence generated on my favourite blogs. Nevertheless, every event would find its balance after over the peak. It’s time for me to re-organize my mind and life.

Welcome to the League of Unemployed Professional... dude, don't ever work with another company - either be a freelancer, or start your own company - that's the path I'm taking.

Hey spoonfork, just read your blog (I've stopped reading my blogroll for quite a while). What a coincidence :) ... Congrats, dude! I understood how it's like working at your company (bet there're over 60% software companies managing that way :-( ). In fact, that's what I've exactly done -- quiting a software house I worked for, then turn to self-employed (it was 4 years ago, before I joined the current bigco). Having been free-lancer and doing contract works, selling own products, I was once without income for over 6 months when the economy turned down. I backed to the employed world and paid off the debt. So I guess I lost the courage, or I knew myself better now that I don't really have enough contacts for business. Self-employed just isn't wise for me at the moment (well, with family/house loan/car loan.....you knew the pressure).
Good luck, bro!
