I woke up with a big question in my head this morning? How
much money people spent just for transport from home to office or their work
place?
Me? None!
I have been dealing with monthly report of the Satgas
Amour Project in these few days but then I got bored. Well, I am currently
working in a plantation company but my focus is in the conservation project. It
is a completely new job for me and totally different type of job from the
previous one. Honestly, all jobs I have are different but there is one thing
that is the same; whatever my job was I don’t need to use any public or
personal transport to do that so if I could keep the transport money just
because I don’t need it like anybody else, I could be a millionaire (probably).
Anyway, this is the history of my job which not required any transport money.
My First Job –
Website Content Writer
I got this job for the first time in 2009 which I’m still
doing until today. It is a part-time job which you could do from wherever you
are as long as you have internet access. So, my first office is my boarding
house room. Yes, what I need to make money is just moving my lazy ass from my
bed to my desk.
My Second Job –
Personal Assistant in Plantation Company
Aside from being a part-timer, being personal assistant
in one of the prestigious Oil Palm Plantation Company is probably my first real
job. However, can you guess how far I should go to attend office?
When I first joined this company, the permanent office
have not finished yet, so all the staffs are living in a ‘ruko’ a two stories
building commonly found in Indonesia. So, to attend office, I just need to
crawl down to down stair because my bedroom is in the second floor while the
office is in the first floor.
Even after the permanent office is ready to use, the Long
House (staff mess) is located in the same complex with the office. I just need
to open my bedroom door and then walk less than 5 minutes to reach office. Not only
that, the view is quite great especially in the morning because both Long House
and the office located in the top of the hill.
My Third Job –
Satgas Amour Coordinator for Orangutan Conservation Project
And then I got my third job. I resigned from my second
job because though both office and Long House are in the same complex, but that
complex is located in the middle of nowhere. You need to spend like 5 hours
road trip from the nearest big city to reach the plantation. Anyway, I join
another group of Oil Palm Plantation Company but my job is focusing on the
orangutan conservation project. Could you guess how far I should attend office
this time?
Actually, the present office I am working now is located
in the same street with my house. So, in other words, I just need to walk like
less than 5 minutes to reach the office. No transport money needed.
And then, the next question popped up in my head, what if
I could count the money I should spent for transport money in my almost 10
years working experience like anybody else, how much money I could save now?
How about you? How much money you should spend just for
transport in daily basis?
Probably, I am just lucky and because of that I’m so
grateful.
Happy ‘almost’ Long Weekend…
