The economy is bad. The world is having a global crisis, slowing down, and a recession is coming up. Companies are cutting jobs. Job market is bleak. People are being retrenched.
All these bad news. So????
Does it mean we should take whatever shit that is shoved in our face???
Maybe most people will say yes... but no, I'm waiting. I had taken too much shit in the past; now I have decided, for once, I WILL WAIT. The right opportunity will knock, and that's what I am going to do - Do something I enjoy and not something I slave my life for the money. I looked back and saw me slowly losing myself... I did some work to survive, to pay my living expenses, but in the long run, I wasn't happy. Plus the pay was shitty too. I sometimes despised myself for doing that. But it did make my parents happy.
At the end of the day, I am the one who needs to be happy. So yes, I'm waiting... and at the same time, I know I'm being the envy of some others... but hey, no money's coming in is not fun at all. I'm taking my time... go chill out in Bali with one of my best friends (less than a week now YAY, geezzz, pray for me that nothing goes wrong with the Bali bombers being executed around the same time eh). One of the best things in life some people couldn't take the time off to do.
I am so proud to say I turned down a 'crap' offer (I used to give in easily, because I felt the pressure of money, from parents, from the society...). They even offered to wait for me with my 2 weeks holiday in tow but sadly the package couldn't compensate the con (negation) of the working environment.
There's another time I had this phone interview on a job which I was pretty keen on, however there was a big communication problem between me and the "Hong Konger" interviewer. Her grasp of English wasn't bad but the way she phrased her questions totally lost me, I had no idea half the time what she was talking about. Fortunately, I have gotten over that now. If it's not meant to be, then it's not.
Tomorrow I've an interview coming up... fingers crossed for me please (but no big expectation!).
