I took an off today from work. Reason: mental exhaustion.
A year ago, I remember how in college we were soooper excited to start working in an actual design studio. To be students no more.
To be paid for the fun stuff.
To be finally earning our own money...and most importantly, to finally be a GrownUp! ;)
But I also remember how I dilly-dallied for a whole couple of months to actually apply for a job...citing an incomplete portfolio, an incomplete CV, research on potential employers, etc as reasons....the real one being that I knew I wouldn't have time anymore for doing the really fun stuff anymore.
The sudden extempore trips in Delhi and elsewhere, lunch-outs, get-togethers, trekking expeditions...
Although I got sooper bored and longed for a day with a fixed routine, in retrospect it was probably the most enjoyable time of my life also. Now with an 11-9 job, I feel completely unable to do anything else when I come back home. Bleh.
My only compensation is perhaps the learning, an excellent employer, and a great working environment.
The question is: should I be looking for more?
*Bleh. There is an upcoming trek to Goa in December, as also a biking expedition AND a sailing expedition. Im off to one of them, holidays in office notwithstanding. SEEYAAAA! :D
