It’s May already; this is the month where I will finish my six month probationary period. Time really fly so fast. It feels that it was just yesterday when I joined the company, but in after few days I will become part of the regular employees. I guess I’m really enjoying my job that I tend to forget the days passing by. Of course, special days aren’t part of that.

I will just rewind some of the moments that unfold to get this job. I actually submitted my resume twice for this company both online and through a person. I thought it’s a futile feat because it takes about three weeks before I got a reply. My heart jumps when I heard I’m scheduled for an interview. As always, I feared that I will blow my one and only chance during the interview. But, it was such a great relief when the panel told me that I’m hired. I feel like floating in the air when I heard the news.

However, I’m on the shaking ground again during the employment background checks. I’m applying for a financial institution so it’s really required to scrutinize for the safety of the company. The only problem is that I forgot my exact salary from the previous company. So, there was a discrepancy in the results that delay the processing of my joining date. They have to investigate again whether or not I’m telling the truth or not. Good thing I was able to make my way out because I’m really honest when I said I forgot the exact amount. It’s been four years since I left that company and became freelance. So, it’s quite understandable to forget things like that.

For now, I’m happy that I’m part of the company. I’m really enjoying myself so I can say I’m giving what is expected of me.

At last after eight straight days of working, I finally got my most awaited day off. Actually, my off is scheduled on Wednesday, but due to training it was moved to this day. I thought my boss is serious for saying my weekly off is already forfeited. Good thing, he finally offered me this day to rest, which really makes me happy. I was able to sleep for more than eight hours, which lessen my eye bags.

If I am in my home country, I’m definitely sitting in the soft patio cushions in my yard with my mom chatting while enjoying a cup of coffee or tea. It’s a very pleasurable and relaxing moment. But, I’m thousands of nautical miles away from home. All I can do now is to enjoy a cup of coffee while setting in front of my window looking at the passers-by six floors below. It made me miss my home even more.

Oh it’s been ages since the last time I posted something here. My job always gets in the way of my other activities. I know that should not be the excuse because I should learn good time management, which is what I’m trying to do. Well, I might be able to do that perfectly in the long run. For now, I will just go with the flow.

Anyway, I just want to share that finally we transferred to a new house, which is bigger and better as compared to the previous one. But, like my brother-in-law said, it is still empty. We don’t have budget to purchase all the furniture we need. So, we will buy it one at a time, which is also a good thing so I can pick the best furniture that suits my taste. For now, I’m checking ashley furniture and many of it captures my heart. Of course, I still need to ask hubby’s opinion about it before making a decision.

Oh well, I guess decorating our room will take few more months before completion. I’m excited to see the result of my plans.

I feel so happy when I received my working visa from the company I’m working with this time. It’s the second company I become part of ever since I graduated from college. The adjustment is quite difficult because I’ve been a work-at-home buddy for some time. The schedule and the transportation are the hassles. But, this is my life and as of now I need and have to adjust to it.

However, I noticed our office isn’t taking advantage scanner software. We are having too many paper files and it’s taking up a lot of our space. I’m sure we could use that space for some other purpose. Plus, it’s easier to retrieve files whenever it’s needed as compared to having hard copies. But, I feel awkward to suggest it this time since I’ve been working for only two months. The boss might think I’m meddling too much. But, I will surely suggest it in the future.
