What really is happiness

Oh, to be time-rich and money-poor again.. i.e. to be a student again.

Beats being time and money poor, for sure.

Every other person I know who's not a teacher is looking for other jobs these days. I've been casually looking around too.. just to see what options are there out there. I still love my job, but the environment of this particular corporation drives me nuts. Nothing is made simple. I'm given so many things to do, my bosses don't seem to care about the many bit, just that they're done. They don't care that a single task takes so long to be done not because we're slow, but because the system or procedures we have to endure are so numerous it drives us all up the wall. Or it's because I get interrupted so often in a work day that I feel that I can't seem to get anything done.

Right now I'm at a dilemma. I don't know whether I should save money to spend on renewing my gym membership (because I'm feeling very tense, antsy and stressed these days and I need to work out) or whether I should save it for a long vacation to somewhere out of the region. Maybe Australia, maybe Europe if I save long enough. I would consider the American continent, but I'm not prepared to jump through hoops at immigration to get there.

I don't know if I'm being pessimistic at thinking there's nothing better out there, or whiny that I'm not being paid the salary of my dreams.

I've been moody and irritable lately. I haven't been inclined to update because really, I don't feel like sitting at the PC at the end of a long work day where I sit at the PC all day.

At this very moment, let's just say that gym is winning a battle over vacation.
