Yesterday (September 18) was the first anniversary of my job at the Indian outsourcing consultancy. Those who have been reading for a while will remember my joy at finally being employed again.
Well, my joy was relatively short-lived. Only now is there a great likelihood of my actually going on-site to do some work. I have spent 1/55th (that’s about 1.8%) of my life doing almost absolutely nothing.
I haven’t been successful in the three different efforts I’ve made to change jobs.
It’s depressing.
I shall comfort myself with thinking that something better is just around the corner.
1.8% unemployed, not doing almost absolutely nothing. To compare, you’ve probably devoted about a third of your life to sleeping. And you have yet to retire, when you’ll probably find yourself too busy to do much of anything.
