It’s been quite a few days, and that feels pretty good actually. No need to write, or no inspiration to write. Now I do feel the like writing. However, where most of the last few pieces were based on a recent experience with a client, today I don’t think that will be the case.
I’ve been asked and I asked myself whether I am happy with my choice to quit contracting (office job) and be a full time Pilates teacher. It’s almost been a year now. Maybe not quite a common year, but hey, what is a common year?!

So to sum up my feelings. I do not miss sitting in an office all day. I do not miss looking at a computer all day — I actually still am quite “allergic” to it, though it is getting better. I do not miss endless email discussions leading to nothing. I do not miss meetings not achieving anything. I do not miss annoying colleagues.
I love a good Pilates session with a client. Sometimes when things really sink in, or click or however you want to call it, I really get goose bumps. That never, ever happened in an office. Apart from the moments when the air-conditioning was stronger than I liked it to be. I do sometimes dread a session, that’s often with the evening classes. I’m not the evening person. However, always when the client shows up and we have a great session I enjoy it anyway.
So, nothing I miss from the office life? Sure, I miss some people. You can say what you like, but there are some really great people in the office. Really, there are so many, always a few gems walking around in those hundreds or thousands of people. You just need to find them. The money coming in every month, well most months was also really nice.
Will I ever go back? I don’t know but right now I’m not planning it (yet).
