Things happened so fast and I find myself in an assignment doing what I thought I would never do. For financial reasons, I decided to just take everything in a stride while waiting for a better opportunity, also I was promised a higher pay.
I can't help but loathe the new job. Just thinking about losing the 12 years I've spent honing my skills makes me cringe. What used to be a dynamic and exciting work environment have lost its radiance and work have become work in its truest sense, everyday have become a struggle. One of the lessons I've learned is that, money is not everything, you need to love what you do. As Confucius once said, "Find the job you love and you will never have to work a day in your life."
Finally last Sept 2008, I got a job offer in one of the biggest property developer in Dubai with a good salary package. I was so ecstatic but the excitement is short lived. To make the story short, with the current economic downturn, the company have to scale back the project before I was to join them. It's so tragic!
In Nov, I rolled my car in one of the most dangerous sports of dune bashing, broke my clavicle badly and have no choice but to stay home. Happy though that am alive after rolling 3 times!
Up and about. For the last 2 months I've been searching for a finance job, a job that am good at and even a lot more knowledgeable than other financial managers I know. I got some calls from the recruitment agencies, still waiting though for an actual interview from probable employers. I don't know how long I can hold on to find that "job", I may just have to take whatever may come. With the crisis, job hunting can be so frustrating.
Yesterday, I sent out an email to my ex-boss for the unpaid bonus. I got a reply, "Speak next week?" What should I say? Hmmm, "Sure anytime. When are you available?"
Will I get paid next week?
