A Matter of Self Dignity

I am going to leave architecture and, the building and construction industry for good. It has come to a point where I am ashame of my profession. It is undeniable that the field of architecture is headed towards self-destruction and is highly hyprocritical.

I am also leaving because I am ashamed at myself for not having thought through architecture in the depth which I should have before I decided pursue architecure and still not doing so out of ignorance, during my 5 years of study.

I have had enough. I maybe a bloody good architect; one of the so called guns in uni and am highly sought after at the workplace but no matter how I try to reason, I cannot find any rational reason except for the sake of an inflated ego, to justify to continue on working as an architect.

Hence I am walking...

sigh, was about to post a rant on something shitty but then realised that it'll be the first post for 2010. not the way i want to start the year. anyhow i'll do a wish list for 2010 instead. here goes:

1. on the top of the list would be my PR
2. so, i can fucking quit uni ( a bloody waste of time and fucking chicks are too young for me now, or rather i've grown too old)
3. and switch offices, if i get my pr, i can then work fulltime (my current boss is a gem of a person, nicest bloke ever! i doubt i could ever find enough words to describe how awesome he is; trouble is, factories ain't my thing, i miss doing highrise residentials, gosh thinking of them makes me nostalgic)
4. join a developer as a first move away from archi (archi as a profession is just plain bullcrap, shit pay, shit job, shit everything i kid you not)
5. get a proper car (i managed to get myself an 20 year old german which is brilliant, even by today's standards, all i can say is that they know how to make cars. bad thing is unlike whiskey, aging isn't something which car takes well to)
5.5. dammit, as much as i like or thought i like bmw's; i miss the feel of a merc and possibly get a benz again.
6. easy one, i'm upgrading from johnnie to glenfiddich (sweet tasting single malt, this is one which you never have with coke)
7. .....

know what? screw all the above, i'll start with God.

there ya go, 2010.
