+ pivots +

Monday...

This would be a pivotal week for me. Im putting a stop to the nonsense and the treatment I think i dont deserve

Yes I would be handing in my letter tomorrow. it felt right

Last year, i had the same intention, only to have changed my mind and held on another 6 months after being stabbed hard in the back
yes, stabbed
poisonous anonymous letters of me to the entire management
punctured tyres with screws in tyre grooves. twice.
i was indignant, so i stayed on to prove that I am not a quitter.

Because i believed that all the things i have done so far, is for good.
such decisions can sometimes be unpopular decisions

plus there was the bonus i think i deserve

but now,
its no longer about winning and losing
its about my life
move on, already

"I have known Esther for 5 years. Since Apr 2006, we have worked together in the ... Division, URA. I was the one who trained her in handling complaints and enquiries from parking offenders. Given her intelligence, diligence and good EQ, she was able to take on the onerous job of the public liaison work faster and more competently than many other new recruits whom I had recruited and trained in my last 10 years at ... What I find endearing about her is that she is unlike most of her Gen Y peers, who tend to exhibit restless and self-centred behavourial traits. Esther is definitely more matured and has a broader perspective in analysing the work issues and problems. She understand very well why unpopular and unpleasant decisions have to be made and will not flinch at making them. What Mr Lau and I valued her the most is her “never-say-die” attitude , her cheerful and frank personality and being always considerate towards her bosses, her peers and colleagues. "

Ex-mentor's email introducing me to a prospective employer
and Shifu already arranged a tentative meeting with another on thurs

and i appreciate all of you out there who have showed concern for my impending "unemployment"
though I might have declined your offers, i know for a fact that your intentions are kind and well. As I have explained, im not looking for high post and high pay now
I just want to work, learn, and be happy

I feel very loved with all these support
esp Dan
as a husband, who is about to carry the financial burden of 2 spendthrifts living all by himself
telling me
he supports me to take this break and i need to do that makes me happy
and telling me that we will make it with the little bit of savings we managed to gather after the wedding last year
and that he supports my work for SP in every way he can.

I am blessed, truly
and i dont think i have lost the battle after all


funny, i actually started this post pretty sure i dont want to blog about leaving my job
but i eventually did it.
