Done and dusted. Finally after 7 arduous months without a job, it came full circle and offered a permanent job in my current company. The 1 person I must truly thank (from the bottom of my heart) is my senior, Gimmy. I reckon, without his persistent recommendation, I wouldn’t have gotten it on my own merit. Ever since I was told I would not be offered this role, months ago, I had already given up…except for him. That’s why I’m really grateful to have met such a great colleague and now, a friend.
God must have given me a benefactor, in the shape of Gimmy, to help me tide through these tough times. And indeed it does soothe the occasional mental breakdown and his on-going encouragement has really helped tremendously. What made yesterday a great day was, I’m offered 2 jobs in a space of a few hours. And today, a possible 3rd. I’m really flattered that people are seeing me as a hard-worker and able to contribute consistently. Especially I was touched and humbled that the previous offer I turned down, was actually impressed during my 1hr time with them and on the spot offered me. If that is not good enough, when I rejected them today, the manager even called, hours later, to offer me the job with open arms if I were to change my mind. Suddenly I’m at the top of the world, and for no apparent reason! Life can be playing a trick on you and the highs and lows can have devastating effect on one’s sanity.
And instead of floating upwards after signing the letter, I told myself to be composed and keep my feet firmly planted on the ground. I guess it’s becoz I’d gone through so much that I only want to work hard and have a simple life. All that raw excitement has to be placed in the backseat for the time being.
I’m just glad I get a decent job and able to provide for my family again. That has always been my proudest moment, i.e. to be able to contribute to the daily expenses and take care of my family. I guess that’s what pushed me to get a job on a permanent basis.
And maybe becoz some romance has been flying around the atmosphere that made my luck changed for the better. Good vibes have been coming off the right way and hence portraying me in the right/good light. But no matter what is the cause, I’m sure glad to have a job in this time of need. Indeed.
Nothing else matters more than drawing a salary and resuming my dignity to its rightful place. A man with no job is like a pugilist without his skills. He’s crippled and forever unable to stand tall with his head held high. That’s the feeling I have for the past ½ year. I feel so small and unwilling to walk the streets, fearing that I would bump into familiar faces, and not knowing what to say when asked about my current status quo. To me, I’m just ashamed to face it, but it’s still a decent job and revealed it nonetheless. It’s difficult to walk among people when you’re jobless. Your confidence takes a beating and your self-esteem just went from 0 to another record low. It’s off the charts!
I’m not sure if anyone reads my blog, but I would just wanna give thanks who have supported me throughout this ordeal and help me tremendously and keeping me sane. I swear I would have gone to depression if I were without these people. But I’m sure my willpower isn’t that bad either. Kekeke…Positive thinking does really helps to keep your sanity in check. Without that, my mind would definitely give way months back.
