I Am Going to Be Retrenched Soon
1805 days agoYes, soon I will be going to be jobless and living on financial handouts from my government. Wait, they don’t give any financial handouts, those selfish greedy bastards! My company has some financial problems and will most likely be retrenching some workers. I, being one of the most useless and disposable ones, will most likely be retrenched and kicked out first. Well, I understand that part. It’s inevitable that such things happen, even if it is out of my control. We sometimes have to pay for the mistakes our bosses made. That’s what I call life. The only thing we can do is to get up and start all over again. I don’t expect to stay in one place all the time, neither do I expect what Singaporeans call it an “iron rice bowl”.
But now comes the most important part – what am I going to do with so much spare time in my hands? I am thinking of building a raft and sailing to the big open sea and fishing. What’s more relaxing than that eh? Spending hours in a raft, not doing anything but fishing (and getting bitten by mosquitoes) and then showing off my catch to others? Arggghhh…matey. I am also thinking of growing roses in my “garden”. Yes, I am living in an apartment but growing roses requires just a small area, sunlight(Singapore has a lot of that) and some skill with plants. I have that green touch which I am sure will help me succeed in getting the most beautiful roses. Maybe I can then sell them roses as a sideline? Think of the demand for Roses during Valentine’s Day!
Or I could just continue doing what I am doing now, just a lot more. I mean, I usually spend like 2-3 hours per day on my websites, but now, I can spend like the entire day building my sites! I wonder how will it look if I have that kind of time in my hands. What do you guys think? Should I go “pro” with my sites? Can I do it? Or will I be living on financial assistance for the rest of my life?
