Turbulence
Well, the turbulence I was expecting was not the one I got. It was even more severe. Things are moving pretty quickly. I just went to an interview today, and just as how my friends (a lot of them) pointed out, that i am changing jobs as one is expected to change shirts, the manager asked me why i had changed jobs three times in less than 6 mths? On my defence, I had to admit i am looking fer a good job to stick in but keep landing in career mistakes, i dun know how gud is the job until i enter and leave it. But when i find that place, sumthing else important comes out pulling me out of my comfort zone, just like now when Im in Datacom, suddenly my responsibilities get higher.
But this interview i attended, i was contacted by the company to see if i was interested, and upon checking the company out, i was indeed…so i told the manager, well im didn’t think of leaving my current company but you guys contacted me, Im just paying a courtesy call, he laughed!!!!.
Anyway, we’ll see the results of my smart-ass responses next week. For now, Im more worried about how to calm my current boss as I was just hired two weeks ago!!! i have to point out my current circumstances to him and face the music, after all, I admit its a bad thing Im doing, jumping jobs, but i do worry about my future and career.
On another more serious note, a cousin of mine passed away last Friday. He committed suicide because of a love failure. I find myself at loss on how to see this situation. On one hand, i’ve been through love failure myself n felt that damning urge to just end it all but commitment and duty to family kept me from taking such a drastic move (people would say it is a stupid move but they were told off that only ppl who goes through such an experience knows the pain, and this by a married uncle of mine who was 60+, i found it to be a wise answer). As such, I sympathize and am saddened at this loss, it seems it takes death to know sumone’s heart these days. On the other hand though, I am angry as he never thought about his mother, she was widowed at a young time with him as the only child. The sight of the grieving mother is implanted in my mind knowing that this mourning will be there for a very long time. There will be no more joy in her eyes. I had to go and give my condolences but i was there dumbstruck as i knew no words will do much good. I had no words at all. The only words i had was of prayer so that his soul finds peace regardless of this action of him taking his own life.
