Is $$ everything?

I was in a LED display boards (those huge tv screen in town) manufacturing company and was in the commercial division handling everything from A-Z. It was a stressful job due to many many tight datelines. Despites of the lousy management, I stayed on for 8 years. Reason being, I had a very pleasant boss. I was given many opportunities to proof my capabilities. I enjoyed time flexibility, 5-days week (whereas others 6-days) and etc... However, recently, I've decided that I've seen enough of LEDs and I've accummulated enough of stresses to last me for a lifetime.

Being in a job that no longer yield job satisfaction is demotivating. Hard works that goes unrecognised further demotivate one. Besides, stress is bad for health especially for my condition. After thinking about it, concluded that $$$ is not everything.

So, here I am now, been jobless for 2 months 13 days. I feel great. Besides being able to workout at the gym more often during off-peak hours, I get to sleep more and get to do things i enjoy doing. Also, I get to spend more time at home with my mom & granny whenever I go back for visits. I haven't done much of that since I started working 10 years ago! Every visit is always a rush. Besides being able to do all the fun stuff, I also get ot spend more time on my own business. Trying my best to build it up slowly.

Despites of the bright rainbow, I sometimes do get bored not workng. There is no human interaction at home except for MSN and my two doggies. I've a hunch that they are getting tired of seeing my face cause they are sleeping most of the time. Not working full time also means no constant income. Therefore, expenditure have to be watched very closely and many sacrifices have to be made. It could get stressful sometimes especially when the bills start piling up.

So, end of the day $$ may not be everything, but without it, how do we feed the doggies?? With sunshines & fresh air????
