Time is getting a bit more difficult now ; first it's been an Year already, and I'm still unemployed - people are starting to wonder ... It's my choice, I prefer to stay away from corporate jobs, I've been burned out and coming back into this kind of environment, I simply don't think I would be able to stay awake during meetings, or play along with the other colleagues pretending that Q2 needs to be more profitable than Q1 and that the financial crisis is still here and we need to make sacrifices...
Sure, I need to make sacrifices, but the big difference is that's my decision - for once I'm in control - and as far as now the sacrifices means no more car, no more Tv, that's the dark side - now on the good side there is a lot of learning, helping people around me, and enjoying a little more freedom, than before.
And I wouldn't trade that for anything in the world right now.
Things that I enjoy right now - a little wine during lunch followed by a little nap in the afternoon, being able to talk to my wife in the evening, no stress ... no deadlines, no meetings, no boring trainings to do or to prepare, no competition, less interruptions when I'm doing something.
