C.L.A.M.P.S

..which stands for Challenge, Location, Advancement, Money, Position and Security. The six factors to consider for the quality of a job. A friend of mine explained it to me tonight, and it intrigues me pretty much. I've never heard of this before and it really got me thinking. What brought upon this topic was because I was whinging to him about my day, which was a totally shitty one cos I had a bit of a brush with my boss, and yesterday too, for that matter. Looking at my current job, I s'pose it only fulfils two out of the six points listed above. Now truly, how sad (not to mention sobering) is that? It's that a prompt for me to make a move on?

It has been a recurring thought for weeks now, or months even. I s'pose I would still very much want to remain in science though, but I need a change of scene and a job scope that fits more to what I have in mind. I know it's always easier said than done, and talk is cheap isn't it? I really have to start thinking and acting. Someway, somewhow. I just have to make sure that in the midst of doing so, I don't get too depressed by this whole episode, whenever it's going to end.

On a lighter note, I cut my hair significantly shorter today. I s'pose I needed that, 'cos I was getting a tad bored with the style I had, the long fringe and all. I thought I would regret it and feel totally miserable, but I didn't (and still don't, after like 6 hours now). I didn't miss my long hair at all.

Caught a movie too (The Woodsman), it was just alright though, didn't leave much of an impact on me. Maybe it was largely due to how I was feeling, cos somehow, Mexican food and coffee didn't go down particularly well for me, and I felt totally nauseas in the cinema.

Speaking of which, I better call it a day now. I need the energy to face up to another day at work and to deomnstrate for another class tomorrow at uni.
