Since I returned to work on 2 Jan 08, a question has been hanging on my mind. Should I continue working full-time or should I take a break from work to work part-time?
I was so troubled by this matter. Finally, I decided to speak to my panel of girlfriends and seeked MOTH's opinion on this matter as well. The final verdict...
... is that I should continue with my full-time position and make hay while the sun shines. Though it's extremely tempting to have time off work in the afternoons, I need to consider about building our savings together with MOTH and enjoying the intangible benefits of a full-time employee (eg: annual leave, childcare leave, medical bills, CPF contributions, etc).
Well, if I don't work hard while I'm young, I will waste my energy and my youth. I certainly do not wish to have to slog in my old age.
I feel guilty about leaving the nearly 4 year old with May all day long. But I tried my best in balancing work life, family life and personal fulfillment.
Ps. Thanks to all my gfs for listening (you know who you're!). And thank you to a friend who reminded me to remain confident in my working capabilities instead of worrying about losing my standing to a newcomer.
