TL;DR
Hermit Saturdays. Big company is big.
***
I think I have gotten used to the idea that my rest day is Saturday. Staying at home, lazing around at home in bed, either playing games or doing reading (but mostly playing games). No going out, no brunch, nothing. Which I think is very strange for most people in Melbourne considering it is brunch capital, where there is an expectation that you should feel dirty if you haven't visited a brunch place at least once or twice a week. In fact, I can't remember when was the last time I went for brunch or a cafe this year. I think it was in April but I can't be sure of that. Am I missing much? Probably but doesn't really matter.
I think this is the introverted side taking charge. Monday to Friday you're busy at work, having to interact with people all day and by the time you are home, there are lots of other things to do. Then there is Saturday. The self decides to say "OK, you are not going out and instead you stay at home while everyone else is out there and you are going to find something to do and you will like it". And then Sunday comes around where I usually spend most of the day around church people.
I largely attribute this Saturday alone time to the fact that I am becoming older, much more picky about things and people (and maybe grumpy and cynical). Having less friends to hang out with and other people spending time with their significant others is also happening at an increasing rate. This is probably just me trying to make the most out of the situation.
Basically I need to have a third group of friends, one that is outside the work and church environment. Maybe I should take up stitching.

I find it amazing that a little under two years ago, I started working for this small company of 10 (I was #10). And since then, I have watched about 45 people walked through the doors of our office and become whom I call as colleagues. From a team that consisted of a few iOS developers, just one Android developer and three directors to now a full stack app development company and having everything in house.
And now I am pondering what is going to happen in the next two years of my life. It's that time again.
