Technology is just so amazing that there work can be done precisely anywhere. No excuses. It works both ways. Sometimes you just have to suck it up and lock yourself inside your room so you can focus on the tasks at hand, which cuts you off from the people inside your house. Your family and all your other duties in life. On the other side of things, you can be twice as efficient because work doesn't necessarily require you to be present at your desk at the office.
You might ask, how about my career in the academe? It definitely took some time before I actually got the hang of it. The schedules. The lessons. The reviews. The checking of papers. The computing of grades.The harsh reality that not all of your students may not pass your subject. The rush for deadlines. Heck, I just got past the middle of the trimester! haha. Nevertheless, I am definitely happy and honored to be in the academe.
Stressful? Yeah. Fulfilling? Definitely. Am I just trying to convince myself? Maybe. HAHA. But we'll see. Still have a long way to go. :)
Career wise, I'm pretty sure I'm in the industry I want to be in. More than just advertising, it's marketing at its finest. Besides, I still do get to use my skills as a stat major. Not as thorough as I envisioned it to be but heck, not everyone really went down that ideal path. :) The people I work with are definitely a joy to be with.
Work hasn't been good to me lately as I've spent more than half of my time for work. Even on weekends and holidays! I've got to admit, I haven't been spending much time with my family, my barkadas, even my bestfriends. But hey, I guess that's the biggest trade-off of being in the type of company that I am in. I chose to be in this situation. So I have to make the most of out it :)
But seriously, do I blame work for making my life this way? Nah, I'm still young and pretty capable of adjusting to this fast-paced life. It took me six months to review my career goals and I'm pretty excited about what's next for me. I really am looking forward for the things God has prepared for me. :)
