13:47 by FoxTwo You know, it feels a little strange.
I have been out of a job for a while. The transition from slavery to free man was easy. However, the reverse I suspect may not be that easy.
Previously I had been pretty productive even when I was out of a job. When I went out of a job in 2005, I actually learnt how to make machinima, as well as Flash and Director. This time around, not productive at all. All I did was just play games all day long. Well in the initial parts of my "freedom" I was actually pretty active in blogging. It was later on that my gaming bug bit me and I kinda got lost in games.
All along, my work life had always been a little weird - all my working locations have always been in far-flung corners of Singapore. Tuas, Woodlands, Changi... you name it, I've been there. My new work location will be, for the first time EVER, be in town. This would probably be the first time I ever needed less than 20 mins to get to work (and home again). I have gotten used to needing an hour or more to go to work - I'd climb on the bus and just sleep till I arrive at the office. The downside to this is that I couldn't meet friends at "6pm in town" for dinner or whatever, because THEY worked in town, I didn't. I needed at least an hour to get from my office to town to meet them.
Well yeah today's the final day I can laze around all day and do nothing in the comfort of my own home. I start a new job tomorrow, and my lazing around will have to be scheduled to start after 6pm.
