Last Friday was my big boss’s last day. He resigned after some major political issue in the office + backstabbed by people who once called his friend. Anyways, that is not the issue. Big Boss (BB) was the one who offered me this job. I still remember I was at a very crucial state of my previous job when BB came into my life. I have already resigned and was offered by 2 companies; Oil & IT Vendor; both I will need to start the next Monday.
However, BB saved me. I emailed BB my resume on Wednesday and I have asked for a quick interview and told BB that I was offered 2 jobs and will be starting soon. And, yes! BB agreed to interview me that evening itself in Coffee Bean, opposite PJ Hilton. It was just roughly half an hour meeting + enjoying my favorite Mocha Frappuchino. After the short session, BB said that the HR would give me a call tomorrow in which is Thursday.
HR called and asked me to come over on Friday to pick up the offer letter. Got it and immediately I called the Oil Company & IT Vendor; told them that I am not taking the offer. I never regretted because I like what I am currently doing.
But.. hmmph, there’s a but now; the present issue though, is since he is gone. Of course, I still have my smaller boss, in which I fancy most, but it is like due to the political issue that we are facing. I do not foresee any future for me here. It’s like, the room is getting darker and darker; and I have to find my way out to be able to see the daylight.
Out of the blue. I got this sms.
Sender : I heard u r looking 4 a job. How soon can u join us?
Me : Huh! Who told u?
Me again : Dun really get u? Join u? R u talking 2 e rite person? Hehe
Sender : Sumbody..hehe..am I rite? ..it is great if u can join coz I am really looking 4 sumbody 2 join me… interested?
Me : Rozie le tu, sape lg? Good or not? Not that soon though.
Sender : I need sumbody urgent.. .doing BI la wat else…
Me : Hehe.. boss ok x? Ke u boss? Hehe.. Benefits wise?
Sender : It’s getting better n better. We r moving very fast. I will get a gd post 4 u. But I m desperately looking 4 people 4 dis bank negara project.
Me : Woo. U must be doing good. Hehe.. Neways, if pays good, benefits ok plus understanding boss. Might consider then. Lemme update my resume..:)
Sender : Gd girl. Cepat tau sbb we goin 2 recruit more fresh grads after dis. So kita jadi boss la hehehe…
Me : Make sure it’s good. Will let u know, k?
Sender : K. Thanx n gd nite.
So, should I even consider it? Should I go for it? Should I pass my resume? Should I? I mean, I don’t want to leave that soon. I am all tied up here. I thought that I would probably stay and see how things goes; and if things not getting any better then only I will pull my self out. How??
I have the bestest colleagues. I have the beshhhh boss ever who I can talk to; rely on; first and foremost know about my kids (understand why I often need to take leaves in a month).
What more do I want? Money? Experience? Satisfaction?
Hmmpphh… This is something I really have to think about. I guess, there’s no harm though in just passing my resume! Hehe..
*wishful thinking*

hmmm....U won't C what's the future gonna B look like. but remember, once U made up UR mind...there's no turning back & U should face it although it's not the good things that U wish 4. let say U choose A & U find out it's not good enough....NEVER & NEVER say that 'i wish i choose B'. what if B is the worst choice? just give some thoughts (we're not solo anymore....unless U really have a very stable husband-economic)...that's what i imply since i got married, heh...:)
hehe.. thanx Mel, for the advise. Yupp, probably I'll just give it some thought of it, first.
