Where the hell did the time go?!! I swear it was just the other day when I made that last post?!?!? oh well, here you all go then you crazy kids! More posts from good old Matt, the mad poster!
So if you haven't heard already, I have been made redundant from my job. It's not a bad thing really. I have done 12 years and I enjoyed a lot of it. I also hated a lot of it, but for totally different reasons. The good times where the laughs and the great learning experiences... the bad things where the stress that I had to endure and the utterly stupid and bad people I have had to deal with over that time. Although I would like to point out that I generally told those people what i thought of them, so if I haven't pointed it out to you then I probably think rather highly of you. I do not suffer fools gladly. Unfortunately, it is because of my brash nature that I have got a double side reputation. On one side I am brash and arrogant and sometimes a bit of a dick, but on the other side, I'm a good worker, intelligent and can get on with the job and people and be a hell of a good guy. At least I'm honest with myself and like to get the job done... Anyhow, as I age I try to tone things down a bit, but I do so enjoy a good scrap every once in a while haha.
So anyhow, yep I've had I think an overall positive and good time at my roles in my company. Now I look to the future and it is WIDE open. No kids, no debt, no mortgage, no extra weight, no hassles. And to top it all off, it's like one of the best summers in history here in NZ at the moment and I'm getting fit again... so awesome.
Anyhow, I will be undoubtedly be looking for another IT job - but I'm not sure if it will be in NZ. I could go anywhere.. it's all about lifestyle for me now.. I earn the kind of money I've always wanted (I've never really wanted to be a millionaire - so I set my sights at a nice level, of which I think I have gotten to)... so now I will just keep saving for retirement and enjoy the hell out of life.
Damn this is a bit of an emo post isn't it? Probably because I am writing it at almost midnight and I haven't slept much in the last few days... damn computer games hahaha! Must go soon though if I am to get up and go to work tomorrow (2nd to last day at work by the way LOL!)
Anyhow - hope you enjoyed this - it's was good to post again and vent a little. Viva the next couple of weeks!
Oh and stay tuned for Matt's upcoming LAKE TAUPO cycle challenge!!! woot!!! 160kms on the bike with some mates!
Cheers
Matt
