Whats it all about????
-
I wake up each morning, put on a suit, head to work and stare infront of a computer for 10+ hours before going home eating dinner than sleeping for 7 hours before repeating the same thing the very next day. And then comes the weekend and all i ever do is sleep!! I only make enough the pay the bills and I feel my life is heading nowhere! whats it all about????

Time to make some changes to your life then. If this carries on, i think it's unhealthy for one's mind. Life suxs as it is....get a hobby u like, get some company or set a near goal to work towards to. It'll make your everyday something to look forward to.
There'll be times like this in our life whereby we wonder what and where do we fit in in this part of the world. Answer is... we're nothing, the world still moves w/o you, your friends and family still carries on even if you're not around. Years down the road, your name will be forgotten, you're just another grain of sand on the beach.
Do what you like, follow your heart, dun let your surroundings affect you. We're nothing in this world, so we come 1st, others can wait. -
Oh dear.. sounds like you need a well-deserved holiday. For me I enjoy my work (MOST of the time!)Originally posted by Aargon:I wake up each morning, put on a suit, head to work and stare infront of a computer for 10+ hours before going home eating dinner than sleeping for 7 hours before repeating the same thing the very next day.

so it doesn't become such a drag. Also I get a lot of variety in my work, I meet different people. It's very fulfilling! -
how long haf u been working? i started work less than one yr ago and started feeling wat u felt jus a few mths into my work.Originally posted by Aargon:I wake up each morning, put on a suit, head to work and stare infront of a computer for 10+ hours before going home eating dinner than sleeping for 7 hours before repeating the same thing the very next day.

do u like ur work and wat u r doing? i think if u r truly passionate abt it, at least u wont feel burnt out easily like wat u seemed to be now.
but even if u r, we all need breaks. so whens the last time u had a good deserving break? its necessary to take leave annually u noe, as studies haf shown.
but if u dun like ur work den mabbe its time for a change - like wat i haf been doing.
or mabbe its time to pick up some interests, hobbies, etc during ur free time. do something u reali wan to do in ur life wif ur life. something meaningful to u. -
Find something strange and enjoyable to do... -
find some other jobs which suits ur passion lor.. lower pay oso nvm but at least u enjoy it..

hahaha lingos..

pick up a new hobby
check out the new paperback at the bookstore
watch the new comedy flick
call up ex-schoolmates for a round of food and catching-up
visit the zoo
tour the museum
ride on the river taxi down singapore river
chill out at wine bar
go on a bounce on G-max (at clarke quay, if u dunno) -
well, like what they said, 1st, u need to evaluate whether this job is of yr passion or not; if it's not, plan something. 2nd, u need to learn how to unwind; lotsa gd suggestions up there; maybe some more: go to SPA, thai massage sessions, learn yoga, listen to music, play yr fav sports, go to e beach...
but since u're gonna be stuck for a while w yr job, better make the best outta it; gain something (some by-products) at least outta the 10 boring hrs while u work, by praying, thinking of happy things, planning personal stuff, planning and reevaluating yr long-term goal, think of yr loved ones, plan for surprise dinners for yr gf etc...of coz, not tt u shld lose concentration on yr work....
and really, do something NOW; dun procrastinate anymore, or u'll probably continue to be a zombie for the next few yrs

wow you guys are really supportive and great. Much appreciated.
My job? I work in audit for one of the big 4 accounting firms.
Actually stories goes like this -
I got qualified a few years back in the firm then left for 2 years to go work in london and then came back to rejoin the firm. Everyone kept asking me "what would you ever want to go BACK into audit???" I guess having been away from it for 2 years, i kinda forgot how much it sucks!
Been here since the start of jan and totally hate my work. I worked in investment banking in london where it was a smaller team and better work environment, better pay, better life.
I'm thinking about quitting my job but its not going to look good on my CV! Oh and not to mention i did a terrible F8ck up on one of my jobs.... now i have absolutely no confidence in myself and whats worst is i cant turn to anyone for help because i am already at a senior level where its expected of me to know all the answerS!!!!
definitely need a new life.

well, i think it's still more important to enjoy what u're doing; an unhappy life leads to accelerated aging, to unnecessary stress, unbearable boredom, u may go nuts before u know it... a change of environment, u know u need tt, dun worry abt the CV; i'm sure w ur yrs of experience, u can do something abt it; it's for the rest of yr life man...make the rest of yr life the best of yr life
-
cheer up man... i understand what u facing..when ppl always expect u to know everything.. was in your line too....quit it while u can next day 45 days reporting.. will die even earlier..i may not be in as senior level as u.. but not to low too. so dun worri have more confident lah..thae a break first.. haha like mi...Originally posted by Aargon:wow you guys are really supportive and great.
