Double-Half or One Ten without ham

Having (nearly) everything twice, being no longer just one of two in the week. Being a Pizza-lover like no other, disliking ham, hence the new title.

Make A Living II

Or... The Grass Is Greener On My Side


Seems like... no, it´s a fact: my project will die.

Well, it will not die but switch to a technology that makes me being overqualified and the custumer will get rid of me.
I so hate this.
Team is great, I have a lot of freedom and a job where I can be creative at times, too.
But... life goes on, right?

Just... HOW? Am I qualified for anything on the market? I´m a so-called career changer... and I changed to a very speciall job, too...

I have one colleague who urges me to try and get "a job" at VW. VW is THE employer in this region and, well... it might be a very safe job. And maybe heaps more money than I get now!

And... as far as I can see it from here... it will be a boring job (if at all! I doubt it´s that easy!).
I´d rather go for something fun but said colleague thinks: Web-Design and stuff like that is going to die long over short.

I will keep my eyes open to jobs now, but there is one question I cannot answer to myself...

go for safety and risk boredom

or

go for fun and risk safety?

I will do my job 8 hours every working day. Eight hours!

I do this now. I get up at 4:50 and look forward to it, I enjoy heaps what I´m doing and I just cannot imagine to wake up and think, "gahh... another working day :-("

Nope, I can imagine that cause I felt like that when I worked in the food-factory as a student and in a very bad atmosphere in an architectural office after studying.

I want fun, right????
8 hours of my life five days a week - I want that time to be quality-time, fun-time!

Or just be thankful for having (had) all this for 10 years?

I have the feeling the grass is really greener on my side and the future looks like that naked tree (pic taken on Easter-Sunday... is it dead that is has no green?).

What´s more important to you? Safety or quality-time in a job?

Just out of curiosity...what is a normal working day in Germany? 8 hours is normal in Australia.

Yep, 8 hours is standard (I´m allowed 8 1/2 and take one day off per month).
But 8 hours is still a lot of our days, no? I don´t wanna spend hating those...

Gotta be happy to get out of bed to go to work or it's just not worth it. Trouble is you won't know until you try. And the demo company never matches the real company.
