Last February 3rd marked my fifth year in my present company. I never knew I would last this long with my first job, because I just got the job to make ends meet while I study nursing.

Yet here I am.

I am still here, promoted, working with light loads (in short, petiks). Scratch that. The load isnt necessarily light but I don’t really need to bring home work, I can take leaves anytime I want to. And I have access to the internet all the time.

And when you get to stay with them for five years, you get a Kenneth Cole watch. Not too much for an employee who chose to stay with them for five long years in an industry where attrition is high and pirating candidates is normal.

Yet I stayed.
Because the job suits me and my lifestyle.

I get to study nursing, graduate from it, pass the board exams, get married, get pregnant, have Martha and then discover paid blogging. All the while having Bose headphones!

All because of this job.
I really dont have super close relations at the office (the type I get to see and hang outside with after office, if you know what I mean). Im basically a very passive employee here (save for lunch hour), I would more likely be chatting with friends overseas, blogging or surfing.

I guess Im just a bit senti because I get to leave a comfort zone by April :( .
I will miss PS.
