On the way to work today I noticed that the drizzle picked up and for a few minutes the rain poured. However, as I carefully cruised on Buendia southbound, conscious of the slippery pavement and the occasional commuter on bicycle and motorcycles, the view ahead of me shifted to what seemed like a symbolic snapshot in most movies --- where the clouds part and the bright sun streams through.
Of course I am sounding chirpy today as I got to work quite early.
For the past, say, five months I have been clocking in and out. I have a desk, made my accomplishment reports, and tried to look busy on not-so-busy days. I did my own version of knowledge management --- I actually read on industry-related articles and write-ups when there is nothing to do. I complemented these readings with other materials which I think is relevant to my industry, in general. Yes, even though I have given up on my freelance lifestyle, for the first time in my life I feel that this is the discipline I am looking for: it's called a routine.
But of course whilst freelancing I had this same routine of being a couch potato if I am not working on something. See, sometimes too much freedom is not exactly freeing, if you know what I mean.
Then again, work is not always rosy, which is what it is, really.
Previously I wrote about investing in experiences and this is making me think more of what I want to experience. I am not going to jump into the major ones, but I want those little things I get to do, get to experience, which I can integrate with my routine. Like volunteering. Or maybe taking up a language course although I already did that with French. Or take up a class. Something. Something.
To be perfectly honest, I want to teach scriptwriting.
