Last day at work

Today’s the last day at work on my current workplace.

I have been there almost two years and have found my “calling” or whatever you want to call it. I have really mixed feelings; on other hand it is nice to get a place more closer home, but it’s hard to leave damn good workmates behind.

I don’t know what future holds, but I think I am going to try my best to take me forward.

This is probably what they call bittersweet.

I quit my job little over year ago and moved to another town. I have about 3 years until my pension. I made calculations and came to a conclusion that I don’t need to work anymore. I should be ok with my savings till my pension. Only thing I miss my job is my good workmates.

maybe look for somewhere to volunteer or help out a few hours a week to keep up these sorts of relationships

I have been thinking about it. So far I have spent a lot of time in local bowling alley and met few nice people there… :grin:

Haha, I get that too. Lot of nice people at the pub here too :sweat_smile:

After two decades of being stuck in the rut, I found my calling almost a decade ago, - it’s literally life-changing, and meaningful in ways I still can’t explain. I have about 16 more years before I can retire, but at the same time, whether or not I get there, it’s the journey that counts.

Would I retire tomorrow? Hell yes, - but at the same time, finding what balance works for you is the key point, no matter where you are in your work life. Good luck!

I wish you luck in finding a better job. Still being a student and seeing what is going in the field I want to in, which is software development, and elsewhere in the job market currently, it does seem scary, but I hold the hope that an extra pair of hands and a decently functioning brain are enough to get me some jobs before I will eventually have to specialize.

Best of luck man! Definitely bittersweet but I hope all works out well - you can only control what you can control.
