It’s Thursday night and I still am unable to download the latest episode of Prison Break (Episode 19: Sweet Caroline). I had been trying to for two days now but I guess the wireless connection is not enough to download 350MB of avi file from a free server. I’m an avid follower. Every week, I make it a point to download the newest episode.

In any other company, this would be impossible. I’ve worked on one where internet connection is prohibited let alone downloading stuffs from the internet. This is why my current company is one of a kind. The IT policy is amazingly lenient. Here we could install any program or application downloaded from the net as long as it’s legal (cracks work but you have to do it on your own risk). Torrents are allowed before but just a few months ago, they’re blocked which is reasonable because peer to peer sharing makes any network prone to worms and viruses crawling around the web. MP3’s and AVI files of any movies and tv series worth watching are everywhere that almost every employee are updated on the latest episodes of Grey’s Anatomy, 24, Lost, etc. name it, you can find it if you know how to. This is what i’ll miss the most and I bet it wouldn’t be easy to find another workplace that could top that.

For every company I’d been with, there is always something that I regret leaving behind. Sometimes it’s friends I’ve made, a work I love doing or a boss who sees me as someone with a lot of possibilities and believe that I could do the job right. Right now, I don’t have any of those, I only have my series and my laptop (which I could take home anytime i want to. oo mababaw talaga) to hold on to. I have bought a laptop last month (though hindi pa bayad, heheheh) and I’m actually considering applying for a Globe Broadband subscription – the one where you only pay 200 bucks more if you have the phone line. I just don’t know if that is enough to download the stuffs that I want. Well, I guess I have to rely to pirated DVDs for the series part for the meantime.

So when do you know that it’s time to move on? When there’s really no reason to stay.
