Nearing 24 makes you think

In three months, I'll be 24.

Shucks! Ang bilis ng panahon! Kakatakot!

I cannot believe that I'll be 24.

I have been thinking a little of psychoanalysis and I have come to a conclusion that I need a career change.

I've been in the hospitality industry for more than five years and I'm getting bored.

I need a change of lifestyle and I decided that I need to get out of the hospitality industry altogether.

It was hard but I did it. I sent my CVs out to a bunch of marketing firms in Brisbane and I lined myself up with an interview.

The interview went well but the location was dreadful. It was in the ghetto.

They offered me the job a few weeks ago but I was holding out for more money and my impending promotion with my current job.

But then my so-called promotion didn't fall through. It didn't happen. In short I got screwed over and they ended up giving the position to someone who has no clue on what to do and they expected me to train him.

I said fuck no.

I was going to hand in my resignation even if I couldn't get a job straight away. The humiliation of training someone for a position that you've held for so long, albeit unofficially, was too much for me.

I'm too proud to be doing that, I said.

Then this week I had a call from the firm that I applied before.

They are willing to relocate me to different office. I won't be working in the ghetto but in the Central Business District of Brisbane.

In their main office and working directly under the managing director of the firm.

Wow, wow, wow! Ang galing ng prayers!

I was praying that I can get a job so I won't be unemployed even for just a week. It breaks my spirit thinking that I won't have a job.

Tapos tumawag yung firm asking me if I'm still interested in the job that they offered me a month ago.

So cool! Eveything worked out perfectly.

I start Monday!

PS;

Di ko pa nasasabi sa current job ko na magreresign ako.

Hee hee!! Naughty Nikki!!
