Out of the Corporate World

And into the realm of unemployment

Walked out of the building for the last time as an employee with a heavy heart. Had mixed feelings - its like 6 Saturdays and 1 Sunday a week at first, where i wake up in the morning and smile.

Then again i fear seeing all my peers advance in their careers earning big bucks and sporting fancy titles while i end up no where, penniless with a whole shitload of catching up to do.

The last time i went down that lift

Opened and closed my locker, pegion hole as we call it for the last time. See in my previous line of profession we are mobile staff, we get sent on different assignments all over KL and sometimes outstation, so they dont bother allocating a permanent desk to us

The 15th floor. Empty cubicles, sit anywhere for the day, sit somewhere else tomorrow, its called the Hotelling system, login to the Cisco phones to receive calls on your DID, get a free apple or snacks on Friday. No personal touch, no keychains or souveniers line the dividers.

See those cranes in the middle, thats where i used to park. Development in KL is rapid. 1 Sentral was completed at the end of 2007 when the co i used to work for moved in. There were empty plots of land not a stone's throw away from the building which were utilised as carparks. One by one they the carparks closed to give way to development. There will be a Bank Rakyat twin towers in the years to come

On lucky days, i get to park under the LRT tracks on the left of the picture for a fee of RM3 per day. Thats the end

Like i said on Facebook, another chapter of my life has ended, will miss the people
