I am sitting at Gloria Jean’s near my office (well, officially ex office as of 31 Oct)…. typing away on the laptop… waiting to meet colleagues for lunch…
No, i didnt quit… not on impulse though i very much wanted to… of course mah, i am the PRACTICAL one (ya right) and i have the most practical hubby… lol…
But yes, my position was made redundant yest… officially 31 oct… I was made to leave in the noon right away… and guess how many boxes i brought away? 10!!!! OMG…. cos i have a huge office… lol… no lah… cos i horde things in my office… that’s why…
anyhow, yest was really the down down cycle of my life yet again… we have just signed for our new house yest… and this happens… during the appt at HDB another drama cos housing agent FORGOT that she has to set aside time for the lawyer to withdraw the $ for the completion etc… and i almost have to sell my cpf investments… sighz…
and went back to the office… was scolded by a PMSing or maybe hormonal or menopausing colleague at work… for being IRRESPONSIBLE… for leaving the office for 3 hours (hey it was 2 hours and 1 hour of lunch time k)… (1) i told the project manager the night before (2) i worked OT the night before to clear as much work but cant stay later cos R2 wasnt feeling well (3) i told her it was urgent and asked her to call me asap, waited till the last moment to leave the office and i called her but she wasnt around (her answer to me was I CANT EXPECT her to be in HER office the WHOLE DAY!…
well, i know how she was like cos i was scolded same time last year… thus, let her continue to scold over the phone lor… she paste a post it with “WHERE ARE YOU” on my PC screen… she said she didnt know where i have gone to but i have told my colleague who have related to her the message… anyhow, continued that she cant depend on me etc etc… 30 mins later, she walked in and treated me so nicely cos she wanna me to help her to do some things… lol
anyhow, before i can help her, i was called up to meet with HR and boss etc… thus, whole noon was spent packing… my boss asked how come i was so calm etc, i said i expected it (of course i didnt know it was me lah) but with the downsizing and cost cutting measures, someone has to go and i am really glad it was me… =P wish he hurried on to the benefits etc… lol… anyhow, the benefits - not much but enough for me to rest for a week and then resume lookign for a job while working on my biz…
so… the only way to go is back back back UP!!!!…. lol… cant wait to embrace whatever life has instore… as long as the kids are fine, our health is fine, i have no complains… even if it mean cutting down on my expenses… BUT lol, 1 last mocha…..
“life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you will get”… and you may be in for a surprise… who knows, it will be your favorite choco in there…..
P/S: my mum knows and she is sooooooo supportive….. said i can work on my biz while packing for the new house… BUT please do not even ask my MIL… wanna a break before telling her and caring for ryan for part of the week next week… she doesnt know yet… =P will tell her over the weekend… =P
CHEERS TO LIFE! i feel blessed… so many times over after this incident… =)
