Loving your work

A coworker consulted me as to whether she should accept a job offer. There are many reasons to quit a job, not least of which is the extent to which you are happy about what you're doing. If someone is consistently unhappy at work and if the root of the problem is beyond his/her control (or that a reasonable solution is nowhere in sight), then it is a wise decision to quit.

After all, why keep on doing something that makes you unhappy, especially when you're young and single. If you have to quit, treat it as an opportunity rather than a loss and move on to greener pastures. 

Hard Time, Down Time

With the global economy nosediving by the minute, there is always an abundance of reasons to be pessimistic. Quite a few of my close friends have lost their jobs and many more have witnessed co-workers being laid off.

Losing your job is tough, very tough, but to look at the bright side, it brings free time and a chance for self-reflection and rejuventation. A very good friend who's lost his job is back home caring for his father and tomorrow will be visiting me. Another friend is applying for a new position in a whole new city that promises exciting change as well as serendipities.

We all will just have to ride this one out and in the mean time let's just enjoy when we can do when we're not busy planning other things or slaving away.
