I haven't posted in ages
But mainly because I seem to be stuck in an endless loop. You know the kind: same shit, different day, rinse repeat. There's nothing to talk about, which is kinda sad.
So here's an announcement: I'm quitting my job--I have three months left of this job, just to give enough time to handover everything, train my replacement, and give my team enough time to get used to things changing (I'm not the only one to leave because a lot of us are already due for rotation anyway).
Don't get me wrong: I don't mind staying in this job longer, since I understand that most people's lives are the "same shit, different day, rinse repeat" kind anyway, and this job is better than I can probably get in the same industry.
Then, I'm moving to America for a change of pace. Yes, I am aware that it's probably the worst choice of country I could make, but
1) I already have relative living there I can mooch off,
2) I already have a permanent resident status anyway, and
3) my dad's been nagging me since last year to move to America and hopefully this could shut him up.
Then hopefully, by the end of a year or two, I would have:
1) tried and I didn't like it, so my dad cannot give me shit about it;
2) saved up enough money to invest in something that could earn me a living (more on this later);
3) worked in something that is not in IT and is not in a corporate setting; and,
4) found/figured out what the fuck I'm gonna do with my life, even if it means going back to this job.
Privileged, 20-something problems? I don't care; I need this for my sanity. I earned my own fucking money for this (plus me moving to America instead of, say, Japan or Singapore is my dad's fucking wish anyway, so to sweeten the deal, he said he'll pay for me until I can support myself; yay close-knit Filipino virtues)
I'll talk about my psycho not-ex-girlfriend team mate in another post. Maybe I'll ask a few other team mate to help me write that post because I don't think I can describe the situation.
