“Ah Faustus, now hast thou but one bare hour to live, then thou must be damned perpetually.”

Could it be that bad? About a year ago, I made a decision to leave the life I’ve lived through in the past 8 years, that is, IT. Although technically, I still am in IT, I can say that my life these days have been a rather enjoyable experience. The rather relaxed environment was good because it allowed me to think more freely and creatively. And the work is generally great. In fact, it’s so great that for some moments, I keep forgetting I’m in management and that I have people to take care of. But what exactly is there to take care of? They are as happy as I am! Great pay, great working environment, brilliant colleagues, and interesting new telco technologies to play with! Wala akong masabi! The most I was concerned with was my people getting too bored for comfort. Hehehe. But it’s all good. There’s always something to do just when it’s needed, especially, now that more exciting projects are really pouring in. And that is why it would seem such a bad time to suddenly decide to leave it all behind.

Yeah, go ahead and throw all the expletives you can at me. I deserve it. You might be asking who in his right mind would want to leave such a life when in fact, this was exactly what he wanted for years? Nobody, except me. But there will come a time when we’ll realize that all that we needed was just a good rest from the burnout. So yes, I’m indeed going back to Wolfpac (Insert Silence Here). And to clear things up, I’m not moving back because I was given some rock-your-world offer but because I think I’ve rested enough and I feel I’m more needed there. Sure there are some perks, but if you knew how things can get in Wolfpac, these perks are negligible. So let’s leave it at that, I’m simply more needed there. So starting November (yup, that’s in a few days), I will start working at the BrainFarm again. I just hope everyone is as excited as I am because I’m leaving yet another comfort zone. Some say it’s like being out of hell and back. I can’t say I disagree, hehehe. But I’ll work it out. To the people I’ll be leaving behind, you know you’re not missing much, but I sure will miss working with you. To the Super People of Novare, Salud!

BTW, I think I may have to sell my camera and other lighting equipment. I may not be able to use these for a while. Hehehe.
