Disheartened



I received a call early this evening from a firm who found my profile on a certain job hunting site. She introduced to me their company, interviewed me and explained to me the position that she thinks will fit for me. I had her questions answered and she told me that she'll be back to call me again in a few. After a little while she called and told me that I did not qualified for the position that she offered me earlier. This just really left me disheartened.

What just happened made me realize some things. I'm not really blind about it but reaching this point where in skills are being looked upon, my mind is starting to wonder and ask, "Is there growth for me here?"

After work, I walked for a while, contemplating on what just happened. The skills that I have now doesn't even matched the one they're looking for. They're actually looking for someone who can do things manually, can compute finances with understanding, that's why they need it to be done manually. And now by looking on what I've been doing now, things are pretty well because of the formulas that I've been using. Input the data then it's there!

Maybe I'm just having a bit of regrets of letting an opportunity slip just like that. If only I wasn't been so dependent with those formulas, If only I can do macros, if only I can understand things better, maybe I was able to pass that once in a lifetime offer.

But maybe, doing this kind of job doesn't really suits me. Now going back to zero, i'll start knowing myself again. Of what I like to do and what I don't want. Maybe it is not really meant for me, it just so happened that it became my wake-up call, to think, to plan, and to decide for myself.

2 Months Later

Last post was kinda dramatic. But today's will be cut short. I'll surely get back to patch things up to where I ended up on my last entry. Right now's going on smoothly. I'm just glad that I didn't had to lose him back then.

Happy.. Birthday to me.

For those who were asking? Yes, today is my birthday. Then? My day started nicely, I waited for midnight before I hit the bed but when I was about to shut down my Duke, (by the way, Duke is the name of my EeePC) messages started to roll in one by one! And on that the very moment I thought of: "OMG! I forgot to change my status (YM) to invisible!" So what else could I do but to make a reply to each and everyone of them! Well that really didn't bothered me at all. All that I'm thinking that time was just, "Oh my.. when will this end?! I still have to sleep for I have work by 7AM!" Hahahahah! But then I, managed to be out from all of those for a while. Anyways, most of them were my officemates who were at the night shift.. so no biggy! heheheh.. And some of those who greeted me happened to be from my Ozine family! XD So as I woke up, the day just seemed to be a normal one. Cold and as usual, its still dark outside. Preparations went through then off we were to ...
