At the end of June I will be leaving my current job. Unlike most people taking this step, I don't have a firm brand new shiny position lined-up. Since I'm an INTP (The Architect or Thinker) according to my personality profile profile, I've decided to play the role of "slacker" - how is that for a career change?
So instead of getting up at the crack of dawn, I'll be lounging away at home. Instead of doing something that doesn't quite get the adrenaline flowing, I'll be playing with the dogs. Or something like that. Truth be told, over the last couple of years I have not quite found the exact job that keeps me going at it. Time for a break and re-evaluating priorities. This is a big step - there are questions around cash-flow, making ends meet and just generally surviving. But as my wife puts it - rather a bit of stress than being unhappy the whole damn time.
There is a real chance of boredom here, so I'll try to keep myself busy and hopefully try and make some sort of a second income to buy the dogs some food. The target is not that high, rather the idea is to try and find myself (damn hippie) and do things I like. Re-evaluation will come and who knows, in a couple of months things may just be looking up and I'll be doing the morning slog again. Maybe not.

Man, I am soooooooo jealous. You have always been a brave soul, speak to you soon!
Nog iets om jou tyd op te waste: kry 'n blerrie profile op facebook.com (ook bekend as crackbook by die liefhebbers).
Well, I already have orkut, myspace, virb and Linked-in accounts. Not sure I want yet-another-addition to the ever-growing list of social networking sites ;)
Then again, you never know just how bored I might be...
Replace Orkut and myspace with facebook, you'll even be saving time. On facebook, everyone still speaks English, and nobody has god-awful ugly pages that makes you want to scratch out your own eyes with a rusty fork.
