Does a really exist a perfect job? 🧑🏻‍💻🖱️💻


Everyone has the perception that a perfect job is a mix of certain things, well paid, near your home location, excellent job ambient, and enough free time to share with you own. That is a valid idea, but the question is: How near are we to this? In my country, the lack of defined rules that ensure a better relationship between the worker and the enterprise is a common ideology.


Sometimes, this lack of rules can leave aside the worker and only center on the company, leaving the worker with an overwhelming hours load and paying the minimum wage for their activities. Even working at the latest hours the night or even working on weekends, this is a common practice as far the workers have accepted those conditions.


Putting the shirt of the company is the motto that I've always listened to, incentivizing other workers to force to work to exhaustion,  and don't argue against that fact. But the reality is that in my hometown and my country the policies only protect the employer and neglect the rights of the worker.


So, exist a perfect job in my country? I expect that Yes, but We have to change our mentality and leave to perceive that minimum wages as part of our daily lives.  The change starts with ours and we have to reject that lack and disinterest as part of the government and the employer. 


I hope that my job was a mix of what I learned in my years of college and a decent wage. But, meanwhile. I still have to prepare myself for this and train myself for the next challenges that the world has for me.

Working life has introduced me to a whole spectrum of folks, spanning different ages and backgrounds. It's fascinating how age can influence the dynamics within a group. Back in college, my peers were typically within the same age range as me, roughly 20 to 25. But stepping into the workforce erased that age barrier entirely.  In my interactions, I've noticed some distinct patterns. The younger crowd tends to wear their hearts on their sleeves, valuing ideas and relationships above all else. On the flip side, the older and mid-life crew often prioritize climbing the career ladder and accruing material success. Bosses come in all shapes and ages too. Seasoned veterans bring a calm, empathetic vibe to the table, having seen it all before. On the other hand, the millennial bosses I've encountered can be a bit more... fiery. They're quick to react and slow to forgive, making them a bit of a challenge to work with. Sure, millennials might be shaking things up and spearheadin...

Another trip twelve years later

It has been a while since I finished high school, those were some of the best moments I have ever lived, my high school had a vast surface extension, many buildings and sections, and many classrooms crowded with hundreds of students. There, I studied for almost six years, I met good friends, some love and splendid moments that bring me a smile each time I recall. I never thought I missed my time there, when I was a teenager I swore I'd never turn back my sight to that place, now twelve years later I come back to the place that built me as a person. Last weekend, I had to work as an assistant for the referendum election in my country, as the last time I worked in the same position, I already knew what that job meant. To my surprise, the place was my old high school. I felt a nostalgia mixed with foreignness, I was part of that place for many years, but I felt like a stranger when I came back, many places were stagnant in time. I could visit my first classrooms just to find they were...

Prioritizing my to-do list

Since I started to document and follow my routine, endless things undone have reminded me that I need to make them time because they are also important. This feeling generates a guilty sentiment and anxiety for not giving them enough attention. But how do I prioritize among many significant things? Doing exercise is important, eating healthy too, studying and applying for jobs are equally important, but what receives more attention? what is not essential? This situation of deciding what requires more attention has put me in a challenging situation. Do I need to sacrifice my exercise routine to study more? What if I focus only on one thing at a time? While I worked my English routine decreased, and my motivation to study too, because as I mentioned before I was putting more time into either working or exercising. I thought I would have more time to do many things when I was younger, but the reality was different. Being an adult means you need to put some dreams aside if you want to avoi...
