I'm on leave today! yipee! 3rd day of leave this month. oops! I can barely remember a time I took so much leave in the same mth. haha
my primary reason for taking leave... a 3pm interview@NTU later - Assistant Manager, New Media & Governance. Finally I have an interview! I've been really applying hard, to no avail. So when I finally got this call, it was like YES! Finally! Wish me luck! With lotsa help from above and abundant grace, this might just be my ticket out of my present cursed situation.
Perhaps I might be ungrateful to call it cursed, seeing they have been kind to me all along, if not I couldnt have lasted nearly a year in a job that felt so wrong as early as the very first month. If not for ELIS, I couldnt have received the mid-year bonus or upcoming end of year bonus. If not for ELIS, I wouldnt have met the wonderful SWF team and the various other wonderful Arts people I have enjoyed meeting... Still, nothing can hide that this job is wrong for me. All along! I have never experienced such sickening incompetency or lack of confidence for my job for such a long time. The closest was probably back in the early Citigroup days! Of course there's no telling if this NTU job is gonna make it all alright again. and the job scope sounded great at the time, now I am not that sure. But still, its my meal ticket out of this current less than desired situation. So wish me lotsa luck please!!
Btw, I just finished another wonderful book last night (or 4.30am this morning to be exact). The Spymaster's Lady, by Joanna Bourne. Wonderful book! Its set in historical era, but carried no traces of Earls or Dukes or other snoobish, lazy and boring aristos. It was a spy thriller, and a great romance (of course!). I liked that the heroine is so strong and capable in many ways, and the hero is so swoonsome, talk strong and a senior Head of Special Services no less. But what was also great, was the many little twists and scenes that the author so thoughtfully inserted to add to the richness of the whole story. The heroine's shocking blind state at the beginning, their romance, and the twist that her parents were spies for British (which I did guessed!). Nice book all in all!
