.His Mercy is New everY mornInG.
Where am I now? In the office at 8.13pm on Friday! No, I am not working. I am waiting for the time to pass. From now until 1030, I have nothing to do. My shoes are not exactly very friendly when I decided to walk in it. So here I am, waiting for the time to pass.
It has been a long time since the last time I typed an entry.
Work has been busy. Life has been challenging. But, praise God that I still have a job! People are retrenched, let go, cut off from their rice bowl. We received news that one of the key guy in a global MNC was let go. It was a shocking news! I guess when the company is being very cautious, the top guy can go anytime! It's up to the board.
Job market has not been rosy nor has it been gloomy. There are still jobs out there. Yes, you heard me right. There are jobs out there. The pay may not be fantastic. Count yourselves blessed if you got a new job with an increment of 100 bucks. or even if the offer is the same amount as your last drawn! Some people got 50% pay cut!
It amazed me how some people still insist in getting 400 - 500 bucks increment. Some even more "ambitious". They want 1000 - 2000 bucks increment! Well, good luck. Most of the time luck will not treat you well.
To sum it up, look at the bright side. companies are still surviving. Jobs are still available. Retrenchments are always around even in good times. People just tend to focus more on it when the bad times are here.
Anyway, my facebook nick says HM is driving me nuts. FYI, HM is a man. Why i call him HM because he is my Hiring Manager. No names will be mentioned here. He will stay as HM.
Yes, he is chasing me for candidates. But he is also chasing me for other stuff. I am in a fixed. I want to help him but I can't. My commitment lies with the client. I don't want to lose a loyal account. He contacted me yesterday and sent email. So all's good. I like speaking to him. I want to meet him. But, I know he is only contacting me because he needs me to help him to do something else.
Oh well....I like talking to him. I enjoyed knowing more about him. 'Nuf said. He is 12 years older.
How happy I was when I saw his email floated into my inbox. Nice guy but he is a sly guy.
We'll see how it goes.
My dad is being funny again. He asked me to BUCK UP!! He said "now that you are 24yrs old, you must start considering. Don't just work!" Oh man.....and my mom tried matchmaking me with her friend's sister's daughter in law's younger brother.
The phone is ringing and I am not picking up. I better go. The office gets a bit scary suddenly.
