And the Worry Starts NOW

as much as i am happy with my decision to quit, i am a bit worried about cash flow. i have started babysitting to earn some spending money as a good friend of mine just had a baby and she knows every new mum in hong kong. however, i am spending it faster than you can say "unemployment". of course i have money saved up but i also dont feel like blowing it all. nor do i want to live like a hermit. however, i have made a few instant changes that include taking lots of public transportation (shock, horror!) including the mini buses (lord help me). and i am eating at home as much as possible (pasta again...). i have toyed with the idea of teaching english which pays quite well or working with this guy that does speed dating events (hong kong dating is so crap i think there is a big market). so we shall see...english, match making and babies...my future!

other than that, things are going well. i am relieved to be done with that company despite the fact they are being completely nasty towards me. i think in tough times we see people's true characters and there are two grown men in that office who should be ashamed of themselves. but when the option was work in a terrible environment (they have had about 20% turnover of staff in a month...that number speaks for itself) or be worried about money and finding a job, i am glad i made the decision i made. for me.

on a sunnier note, here are some pics from the boy's boat party last weekend. enjoy:

I QUIT I QUIT I QUIT

last friday, i quit my job. no, i dont have a new one lined up and no, i am not nervous...yet. i will have some more money coming in and until it stops and i start to run dangerously low, i am trying to figure out "stuff". so as of now, i am babysitting and dogsitting to make spending money and i have turned over a new leaf of taking public transport including the mini buses...eeeek!!!

people drop me a line.
