I remember the time when I posted a similarly-themed entry a few months back, it worked out fine for me. I believe in luck and all that so I might as well go for this.
I'm really not happy with my current work. Pay's fine. Position's great. Work's challenging, theoretically. I've been with this company for three months and, as Striker put it, I'm like in Netopia, surfing for 9 hours but instead of me paying for the computer rental, it is I who gets paid to do all this shit. It sucks.
But you know what's shittier? Being surrounded by people whom I couldn't care less about. I may sound obnoxious and arrogant but I don't care. It's like I'm working with a bunch of employees who are inefficient , uninspired, unmotivated and unprofessional. No wonder the attrition rate for the early part of 2008 exceeded 100%, which is an absolute impossibility if you think about it. However, that's not what I'm supposed to talk about.
My ex-colleagues and I went out for coffee this afternoon. I found out from MA that there was an opening for a Singapore-based Assistant Controller position in my previous company, and the new person in charge is thinking of re-hiring me for that post. Oh my God! That's like the best news I've had since the release of Mariah's new album. I hope that they're serious about it.
Anyway, I still have another interview with a multinational manufacturing company on Thursday. I am a bit hesitant about this because I don't like the position title. And the building on which the company's office is located. God, I'm choosy. But if they're willing to give my asking salary, I might give in. LOL.
But I'm actually more excited about tomorrow's interview. Since I have so much idle time on my hands, I thought that I'd rather spend it on something worthwhile. And what's more worthwhile than being a Barista. LOL. I'm betting that it will provide a nice contrast to my day job - the crowd, the work, the pay (?)... everything. I think it's a nice exposure and I could also use the additional income (since I'm saving up for a one-way ticket to California. LOL.). Well, I hope everything goes smoothly.
It's 12:01 and I'm still awake. I should call it a night. :P
Wish me luck!
