I've had a blessed 2009, and 2010 seem like it will turn out to be the same.
After a mentally gruelling 2+ years in a local graphic design house trying to adjust to the workplace culture and the people, I decided to quit my job and take some time out to relax & basically remember what it was like to be happy again. It was an extremely hard decision to make; no income, no next job waiting for me, nothing to do but just relax everyday. (I'm the type of person that needs a job to motivate myself.) It was so hard that I stuck with it for another quarter of the year to come to the conclusion that, yes, I need the break.
So the money stopped rolling in after November, bummed around for 2 weeks, went for a holiday to the US for 2 weeks, came back to Singapore and bummed around for 2.5 weeks... then: got a job. I think this was one of the times that you can say I handed in my resume at the right time, and the right place. It's not all luck I'm sure, of course they wouldn't hire me if I turned out to be a twit. But it was almost like the gods heard my wishes and placed this delightful package in my hands. I felt 'saved'. Saved from boredom, saved from overthinking and worrying, saved from the negativity that had been infiltrating my mind the past year. Now, I feel so hopeful, so enthusiastic, so positive. I feel happy and excited to start this new career direction, i feel focused that I'm going to give it all I've got.
