逃離「安穩」的束縛
告別壓抑的朝九晚六，我成為了自由工作者。
畢業前的理想規劃是，找一份穩定工作，每年升職加薪，平步青雲。現實卻是上班下班，營營役役，刻板沈悶。若換過幾次工作，還得招架親友們的冷嘲熱諷，「份份工都做唔長」。
大概不少人都跟我一樣，曾被這種無力感折磨著。
為什麼對工作總燃不起熱情呢？任職於一個大家都夢寐以求的崗位，還有什麼好抱怨呢？我努力尋找答案，到最後，我辭職了。因為令我沮喪的，其實不是工作，而是工作模式。長久以來，我都被「安穩」的魔咒束縛著。
所謂穩定工作，對我來說，雖然定期支薪，卻犧牲了所有其他可能性，明明不適合，卻害怕轉工，害怕動搖到安穩的生活。直到一天醒來，我問自己，如果工作的最根本是賺錢維生，一份長工，跟兩份兼職，還有三份散工，有分別嘛？但對我的生活，卻有翻天覆地的改變。
我開始了一連串快樂的新嘗試，即使偶然會遇上挫折，但每天還是充滿新鮮感，重新找回了生活的感覺。其中一個很實在的體驗是，近年突然喜歡上喝咖啡，以往錯過了很多機會，辭職後在找散工的apps，看到有CAFÉ招聘兼職咖啡師學徒，便立即應徵，現在總算能好好控制那部咖啡機。
更令我振奮的是，我發現原來做「全職散工」也不是想像中那麼「朝不保夕」，市場上有不少臨時和兼職職位空缺，白天也好，晚上也好，在不同的CAFÉ和餐館工作學習 ，也是十分寶貴的體驗，連每天於不同時間上班，也是一種樂趣。
雖然同時兼任幾份工作，工作時間或比以前更長，收入也可能會有暫時性的影響，然而這份自由的感覺是從前所沒有的。我相信這些「炒散」的經驗，能給我帶來一個更美好的前景，相比從前的朝九晚六，才真的令我身心俱疲。
逃離了「安穩」的牢獄，我感覺未來充滿了可能性。
