One more shot at irony.Basically, I resigned from my first permanent job because I didn't want to slog for a listed company that was eating up all its employees. I didn't want to work my arse off for its profit. The counter argument is... I didn't actually have to. I went to work to flip papers and get the latest celebrity gossip from Mel n Joyce. All for a reasonably good monthly check of 2K.
Basically, I resigned from my last job because I couldn't accept that in another 2 years' time, I would look at my peers' monthly check and mine and realise that I'm a whopping 2K behind them. It's highly likely. I didn't even earn enough the whole of last year for the government to want to tax me. The counter argument is... I love my job, I had heaven-sent collagues, I love the rapport with the kids. But the prospect just didn't agree with me.
Basically, I want a change of job because I hate the environment in NIE. Ok, that's taking it a bit too far. I don't like the environment, it makes me feel bloody fucking far from home and far from everything I love, and it's damn sterile, damn cold, that place. And I feel like I'm on the wrong tree in a cold forest. I think IT is interesting but I'm really not into IT as a pedagogy. Keep it real, people, keep it real!
Basically, I fucking know what I want from a job, a career... bloody hell, a life, for that matter.
So, don't even doubt that I don't know what I want simply cos I switched 3 jobs in the span of... well, 3 years. Because you know who are the most likely group of people who stay in a job for the whole of their lifetime? The people who haven't quite map out what they want from life.
Cut me the crap.
