It's back. I felt if before in my previous job, and I feel it again.
What am I talking about? You know that feeling when you wake up in the morning and you know you have work, but you don't want to go? It's back. It comes and goes, and I can still force myself to go and work. But it's there.
It is not a coincidence that this started happening once a certain turn-of-events at work happened. I do not wish to elaborate, partly because I still respect my employers, and mostly because this is the internet.
It's nothing serious. Everyone goes through this. Some people ignore it, I choose to take it as a warning. Perhaps it is time to start considering my options. Time to start looking around, making some connections, and asking some friends for some favors.
It's pretty obvious what I'm hinting at. In fact, I'll even go so far as to put it in writing. I've updated my resume and am in the process of updating my demo reel and portfolio. Meaning that the horn to signal the hunt for new employment opportunities is about to be sounded.
Why now, why so sudden, and why so serious? Simple. I've got a daughter who will turn two in less than a month. Education, medicine, food, clothing, etc. are not cheap in the Philippines. At least, the good quality kind are not cheap. And I have no plan of skimping on my daughter, nor my wife.
And so I offer this quick release. It is time. Time to start looking. Who knows, perhaps I might end up starting my own business. We shall see.
Out.
