And then I realized something. The seemingly negative posts since December are positively correlated with my time here with this current firm. Poor pay and the lack of sense of achievement (referring to the lack of mentally challenging tasks, and amount of work) are most likely the causes.
This makes me wonder if people end up being more happy with greater wealth. I guess its true that you feel happy when you spend on things that you like. At least that's the case for me. I derive happiness from shopping, paying for train rides, buying cheap postcards, books and of course wine and good food. But this ability to spend is actually subjected to the amount of wealth you accumulate. And this, brings us to income.
With my current income, its pathetic. I do understand its for the long run benefit. But seriously, to make me think twice before buying something cheap, its shocking. You can imagine how much spending induced satisfaction I have forgone simply because of this intern.
No wonder I seem rather depressed lately.
