My Opportunity Cost.
Into my 2nd week of my new job. I really miss my car a great deal. It suxx big time when I leave home every morning to see my car parked there when I'm out there rushing for the MRT trains, and when I reach home every evening to see my car untouched when I get blistered toes and battered feet from the standing and squeezing on the MRT trains. It just doesnt make sense to me at all. And its just so not me. Call me pampered or spoilt or whatever, but for someone who has been driving constantly for the past 7-8 years, I cant adapt to this at all.
To the extent that I feel so sick now. Not sure if its a mental thing though. I feel so darn lethargic everyday even with the 7-9 hr sleep everyday. I feel so darn restless that I cant get myself near my books and lecture notes to study. I feel so darn moody that I dont feel like exercising at all. All these at the expense for that few hundred bucks saved every month. Come to think of it, is it really worth it? I'm wasting time and letting time slip away like that. To me, thats my opportunity cost. The most valued opportunity cost.
And nope, I'm not that sort of person who would request for ppl to come pick or send me to anywhere convenient. I'd prefer that people do it willingly instead. I don't want to be said for taking ppl for granted anyway. Did I mention that I got reprimanded by my dad cos my mum picked me up from Yishun MRT station after work? Did I mention that I have to try my luck in hoping that my dad is not home yet so that my mum can pick me up from Yishun MRT? If not, I would have to either take bus back, and walk up that deadly slope to my place or I'd just have to flag down a cab which would probably cost me around $6 cos of the peak hours surcharge. I could have probably used this $6 for the morning ERP every morning if I were to drive instead.
Or how about switching back to a sales capacity role that enables me to drive to work? Ya, come to think of it - why did I reject that position then. Just because I thought I wanted to avoid drinking sessions, or for whatever reasons that I don't wish to reveal here.. Is it worthwhile afterall?
I've got my test coming up in a week's time, my next exam in 2 months time, my project submission in a month's time. And I've totally started on nothing on the above yet. In between, I've gotta squeeze in viewing appointments and stuff.. I've got loads of stuff right up to my mind.. Its just so, "boo"... I havent stepped into the cinemas for weeks.. I havent went on a shopping spree. I really miss the freedom that I used to enjoy when I was doing sales.
I wanna admit defeat soon. As in, really SOON.
