Out of the office and into the great uknown It's been nine months since I left my last office job. Well, actually I didn't quit it but I was sacked for being 10-15 minutes late all the time. And I was so happy that day, I remember it like it was yesterday. I broke uo with a boyfriend, I was recovering from a weird gastrointestinal infection and I came to the office after one week of staying in bed and literally dying. My boss asked me to follow him to another room and delivered a long discourse concerning my coming late. "You work so good, but but but", he gave me 300 bucks and said goodbye. Well, that job required fluent Spanish and I was supposed to speak Spanish almost all the time but the salary couldn't cover my rent and food and the office lacked a coffee machine. Oh, did I mention it was 22nd of December and Ukraine was in the middle of another financial crisis? So yeah, I was just happy that I would have to wake up at 7-30 and use the tube in the mornings anymore. I focused on teaching foreign languages and I have no desire in going back to the office. First of all, because I don't know any office job that would offer me the opportunity to work on an interesting educational product related to languages. I'm lucky to be involved in such a project but we don't have any office. We live in the 21st century and it's more convenient to work from a computer. We live in different countries and we are people of different ages but we have one same interest and this is what keeps us together. On reflection, if our team established an office, I would go there 5 or even 6 days a week. But it's an exception.

Out of the office and into the great uknown

It's been nine months since I left my last office job. Well, actually I didn't quit it but I was sacked for being 10-15 minutes late all the time. And I was so happy that day, I remember it like it was yesterday. I broke up with a boyfriend, I was recovering from a weird gastrointestinal infection and I came to the office after one week of staying in bed and literally dying. My boss asked me to follow him to another room and delivered a long discourse concerning my coming late. "You work so good, but but but", he gave me 300 bucks and said goodbye. Well, that job required fluent Spanish and I was supposed to speak Spanish almost all the time but the salary couldn't cover my rent and food and the office lacked a coffee machine. Oh, did I mention it was the 22nd of December and Ukraine was in the middle of another financial crisis? So yeah, I was just happy that I would have to wake up at 7:30 and use the tube? in the mornings anymore.
