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.
Like I said we are not yet done fixing the house. There is still a lot of things to do including choosing the best curtain. Actually, our room has a huge window, from ceiling to floor. We miscalculated it and bought the wrong curtain, which is just half way. Yep, it did not fit the entire window; one fourth of it is still open. But, we can’t return it because we already throw the receipt. So, all we can do is to purchase the right one.
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.
Time passes quickly. It feels like I just first started my job, but hey it’s been two months since I joined the company. For all I know, I’m enjoying every minute of it probably because I’ve been a loner for almost three years. Having people around again, after that long is somewhat exciting and refreshing. My colleagues always noticed that I’m happy every day that I go to work. Well, I’m just hoping that it will continue for a long time.
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.
Mmm… Valentine’s Day is just around the corner. I’m sure everyone is preparing the gifts they want to give to their special someone, just like me. Good thing I have the perfect timing now that hubby is not around. He is currently miles away from here and will be coming back probably by Saturday. So, I have ample time to look for the perfect gift without him knowing it. It’s quite difficult to secretly search for a gift when he is around.
