The next stage in life

So I accepted the job with the big investment bank. And no, I'm not actually in investment banking, I don't do a commerce course. Nor would I actually want to do investment banking if I were. It leaves a lot less time for the finer things in life, such as sitting around, sleeping, and eating.

Its a big relief to have the next stage of your life set for you, especially when you've been worrying about it for a while, and you don't want to be a bum. While the idea of being a bum appeals to me a lot, I think the lack of things to do, not to mention the lack of good things to eat (due to the lack of money) kind of overcomes that.

I think the point where you start working also brings into focus the other things adults probably think about. That is, moving out, a mortgage, loan repayments, etc. Its kind of sucky, but also a bit of an eyeopener as to what my parents kind of went through when they did the same thing.

Theres also the thought of kids and stuff. But then, thats not really an issue for me since I can't seem to get over my lack of effort to find myself a girlfriend. Well, at least my pseudo-girlfriend will do for now =)
