Axed

I have no work.

Correction, I have no "full-time" work as of the moment. My stint at Playtech was cut short because they will be closing this year and they are "releasing" employees by batch at a time. And yes I was included in the first batch to get the ax.

It was sad, I will not deny it.

For the most part of my "career" I always see to it that I am "safe" on my job since I don't like to be dependent on someone else for my needs. But sometimes (this time-my first time) life/destiny/the universe just conspires against me (or in some dramatic explanation conspires for me...whatever) and I can do nothing about it.

But I can do something.

For me, I paid my insurance for this year with the money I got as severance fee. And a few trips to some places (smiles a great deal).

And yes it motivates me on some degree knowing that I need to find a job soon and quick.

Looking at this event in retrospect made me feel that I've been complacent this past year when it comes to my skill in programming and this is a loud wakeup call to straighten my act.

It's sad to note that I've let myself be left behind.

Well the first way to recovery is to know that there is something wrong, and I know now. I'm on my road to recovery.

FULL SAIL AHEAD.
