I was just looking at my blog's archive tabs and thought it's rather funny to see majority of 2008 + the whole of 2009 + majority of 2010 missing, only now to be continued. I jolly well knew why but still it's like, what was I doing then. Lol. It looked like I disappeared. Haha.
I wonder if I should delete away the old history and begin from here. Or should I just simply delete my sites, but at this moment, I thought well, it won't hurt leaving things as they are right? I'm not sure if I will continue in the long run, seeing the last attempt was back in July 2010, supposedly my "come back" entry. In any case, we shall see how it goes then. I'm not going to make promises, this way I might actually blog more as and when I feel like it.
And so it begins... Again!
Hoping a brand new start will be for the better. Well, at least my savings will appreciate for the time being after 6 mths.
So anyways, I've just finalised on a new job this morning, I know it's pretty firm when I went for the interview last Friday. Reference call(s) made yesterday early morning and I received the offer soon after. I seriously wonder if they called my previous boss (my reference 1). Reference 2 called me shortly so I knew. Headed down to the office in the noon for the contract and brought it home to think about it for a few hours.
There was nothing much to think about the offer itself actually even though I was in a dilemma. I was thinking more like, should I continue to search for more or should I take up better paid jobs or should I do something that I'm comfortable and familiar with or should I try out something entirely different and just go for it.
But this job like my sis's (she just started work last wed), actually dropped from the sky. I did not apply for it and they found me. And I am not talking about the sales jobs which I received everyday. In fact, I was so fed up with the sales jobs calls that when this company called me, I actually thought that it's some investment company and appeared disinterested. I asked her to email me the details and realised I was wrong. Haha, my bad. I should have listened to the call properly. What to do when you receive like 5-8 calls a day from bank/insurance companies. This has never happened to me and therefore made me really excited.
While this job offer isn't as attractive (albeit disappointed) as I wanted it to be and the pros and cons pretty much matched my previous job though in a different way, I do see the potential ahead. It's strange how it actually matches up in the end, or maybe it's the "formula" or how I analysed it. Lol. In the end, I will only know how far I can go once I am IN it.
Of course I do hope that it'll be a long term career, or at least longer, but certain things are not within our control. I shall see how it goes, if I don't try, I will never know. So I try already then let you know. Haha, I know, I'm lame.
I like how my manager has a very positive vibe, and she naturally makes me feel better when I'm around her. This is great, since I will have to work hand in hand with her. I am also very comfortable with her and I wish her the same. While presentations can be faked, vibes can't. You can be a brilliant speaker + liar, but vibes are something that cannot be erased. Or at least that's how I sense it. I hate to work with people with negative vibes. They kind of bring the whole office down with them.
I'll be starting on Thurs. She told me to bring an open mind as there are many things to learn. So I'll keep myself excited as much as possible to gain the experiences. I might update along the way through this new journey. Till then, new name, new house, new company, new position, new industry. I hope everything falls into places.
