whenever i am just at home working, my days are not distinguished by weekdays and weekends. every single day when i get up, i immediately turn on the laptop and open Outlook, type in my password and wait for mails to load. open chrome, sign in to meebo, facebook, yahoo and google mail. while all these are loading, i go out and play with kooki for a bit, then prepare breakfast.i eat in front of the laptop.almost always.then i start working while taking calls and chatting with friends in between.
every single day, it has always been like that. i am getting bored. i miss the times when i go to the office and meet officemates. discuss project direction with the bosses, consult research methods with peers and enjoy lunch with them.i miss being in charge of a project.the challenge of making a proposal look good enough to get funding, and managing the budget when you finally get it. i love the feeling of reporting about your research output and somehow having an influence on policies.
back when i was still doing that job, i also thought of changing careers especially during difficult times. i had thought of going into IT, of becoming a chef. i even considered the idea of becoming a tour guide because of my wanderlust!
being in the corporate world now made me realize that i need not need to change careers. because social research and rural development is where happiness is. funny because i had to move away from it to make me realize that its all i wanted to do after all.
