Officially Unemployed
This post is the continuation from my previous article "I have quit my job"
I am officially unemployed now
This Friday I had completed all handovers and returned my company laptop and ID
Today I have received the mail that my offboarding clearances are completed.
Finally free...
It is a relief that I am out of that job, not that I look back at it with only contempt, there were a few good moments as well. But the overall I would say I didn't feel like I belonged there, plus the insane timings and unorganized work flow was just not healthy.
I am glad I am free from that job.
...But Scared
I have bills to pay and things to do, I need money for that which I don't have. I want to travel, its been so long since I have been out of the city and really missing the thrill of an long trip.
Don't know how to pay for that either, lol. Still a boy can dream.
I could use my Crypto to pay for it but even if the price go up I don't think it will even cover even a 1-way ticket.
But what can you do, heck even Thailand is opening up from May and seems great for international tourist.
My freedom is my vacation
I am not negative about this situation but want to face the reality of it all.
Yes I am a bit bored now and sitting at home with never little to do but at least now I am not mentally exhausted.
I still count it as a blessing.
What's next?
Looking for a job is the priority, then getting more into Crypto and generating an secondary income.
How will I do it?
I have no idea, still trying to figure it out but now I have the time to take long evening walks and I have found that those are the times I think best.
Some people have there best ideas on the toilet or in the shower.
I have them when I am walking with no destination in mind and just roaming around aimlessly.
I didn't had the time to do that for a long time but now that I have had my freedom back I can do that now.
I hope you will find a positive direction soon. As long as you are satisfied with ethics and integrity, you are happy in your mind.
I quit my permanent government job in 2007. It was a great relief from a frustrating job without any real work. I visited the old office in 2018 while passing through the place. I saw my old colleagues happily continuing with their "work-less" job and with a lot of compromise on the ethical front!
