Should I Be Worry?

I have thought that being in-between jobs would be interesting enough because I would then have time to do what I wanted, personal projects and pursuing hobby.

But then I read about dire condition in the Europe and United States, about young people being jobless or must take underpaying work just to get barely independent. Some are even moving back to their parents' house or living rent free with their friends. People with higher education degree compete for jobs that were previously offered to immigrants who would accept lower salary.

Here I thought that it would be always sunshine and happy yet I know in some corner of my mind that that wouldn't be so. Should I be worry?

Of course I should.

The more time I spent being unemployed, the more chance that I wouldn't get a follow up for job interview after sending out my resume. Even more risk because I lived in Indonesia, where competition is actually fierce and employers can be very picky because there's more people seeking work than positions that are opened.

That's why I decided to take the current offer while constantly prepare for the imminent and unavoidable rainy season called free trade. I am competitive and restless.

I am worried but the only option left is to push forward.

Sudah lama sekali tak makan di sini karena beberapa kali aku datang selalu saja sudah habis. Cukup laris memang, apalagi mengingat biasanya dia mulai berjualan pukul 10:00 pagi dan pada 12:30 biasanya dagangannya sudah habis. Seporsi gado-gado buatannya bisa didapat seharga 5.500 rupiah. Sebenarnya di dekat kantor ada cabang restoran gado-gado terkemuka di Jakarta. Saking dekatnya, tak sampai lima menit jalan kaki sudah sampai di restoran ini. Setahuku banyak juga orang yang datang ke sini untuk makan gado-gadonya. Lebih dekat ke restoran ini daripada ke penjual gado-gado langgananku itu. Tapi sampai sekarang aku belum pernah makan gado-gado restoran ini. Alasannya sederhana. Seporsi gado-gado restoran dihargai tak kurang dari 15 ribu rupiah. Ukuran porsi aku tak tahu tetapi bi...
