Keep yourself busy is the best medicine
On Monday, my first day out of job, I was quite depressed in the morning. Although for a very short while. I sent the kids to the school, and my maid to MIL’s house, then returned to my house alone.
Facing the lonely house, holding a super boring book, without anyone to talk to, really felt so depressed.
I started calling people to chat, but everyone is so busy.
Then, it was 11am already. My schedule started to get busy again. Preparing lunch for Isabel, fetch her from school, lunch, prepare dinner, fetch Ian, dinner, etc.
Ya, thank God to my full daily schedule, I usually get busy from 11am onwards. So I have only 2 hours to myself.
Then Tue I needed to visit Inland Revenue Office to get the final clearance letter (for my final pay from the company), and there gone a whole day.
On Wed and Thu, I had farewell lunches, and stuffed myself full with delicious food.
Today, Friday, I brought my mom out for Mother’s Day treat, and back only at 5:30pm, just in time to fetch Ian.
So, where got time to feel sad? I just hope by the time every farewell lunches and those ‘sao mei’ finished, I would have new stuff to keep me busy and not thinking about my job.
Actually, to be honest, it is not sadness, but worries. I am dead worried about not having a job. The longer I am jobless, the more worried I am. I would consider myself jobless since last year Oct, although not official. 6 months and I have landed no where. That’s what worries me. Keep praying…
Cheer up fren!! I feel bad for u too
but stay positive ya…
tomorrow will be a better day ^_^
Sigh… It’s so ironic.
I’m so fed-up with my work that I’m dreaming of a career break… u r on your career break but yet u feel worried & low… Perhaps I should try my best again to look at my situation more positively…
Pei Wei: Thanks. And pls don’t feel bad. Don’t want to ruin your day with this negative post. :p
Yiwen: Well, having a career break is good, if you know that you are in control of when to get back to work. In my case, I wasn’t given a choice. If it is my choice to quit, then probably I feel better. But then, I know I won’t choose that route too. Aiyah, very mao-tun.
when we’re busy, we complaint how come we were so busy and hope to have some off time. But when we really don’t need to work, we will worried. I guess this is human!!. hehe..
