I had so many plans in mind when I signed my first (and so far my only) employment contract.
Work starts at eight and ends at five. No plans of doing work at home. Have fun. Learn.
Time flies faster than I thought. I've been employed for a little over than three months. Now looking back to my plans: almost everything went according to plan. No work when I get home, and even on weekends. I am having a blast. Good-looking people. Warm. And so on. Well.. almost. Everything but one.
I planned to blog (and a lot other things) while working. I said to myself that I'd have all the time in the world after office hours. But no, work extends up to 10pm. Sometimes only at nine, sometimes even up to 11. Don't get me wrong, I was never forced to stay late; I just felt I needed to learn more. And to learn more, the more that I want and need, wasn't part of the task list. I didn't bother to know how useful a command prompt was. Nor care about IP Addresses. Learning web programming wasn't part of my lifelong dreams. But hey, no can really tell what happens when. Up to now, I'm still learning. And having fun, just to remind myself.
The standards are high, and from what I've heard (and probably experienced), the real me wouldn't mind spending a few hours extra at work - without being paid. I don't mind actually. The basic salary is fine, and that's probably one of the least of my worries.
I just want to see the day that I will become satisfied with my performance. That I don't need to do overtime because I feel left behind. That I think will come in time.
I do hope that my blog will be at a better state and wouldn't look so flat as the title of the blog post. Kidding.
