190 days..
6 months at my current company. More than enough to tell what went wrong, what benefits me. My strength and weaknesses clearly shown to my supervisors and fellow colleageus.I remember telling BuBu just the other day, how fake I am. Apparently, I'm no difference from the rest. 190 days now and finally I realized, I've joined a masquerade and I'm doing pretty well at that. Doesn't sound very good - but I guess I have to, although some might not understand why I should (be such a faker). Certain things are best kept a secret. Sometimes, you just have to uncover it yourself .. and when you do, congrats.. you are finally growing and seeing a much broader perspective. And when you finally get it, you'll know its not easy to be in my position.
I used to say how Ms. Biatch and Ms. F*cking Loud can be so fake. One minute, Ms. Biatch was getting scolded by Ms. F*cking Loud, the next minute you'll see them happily having lunch at Pavilion, smiling and laughing. Well, I've observed myself lately, and to my surprise, ... its the same. I am not in good condition with one of my superiors either, both of us know its hard to deal with each other, but we have to work as a team whether we like it or not - he needs my expertise in design, I needed his in (his unskillful) project management. Parasites sorta. And so, we're in constant mask-wearing mode, politely addressing each other's need and coming up with a solution. I can be swearing at his incompetency this very second, then smiling and talking to him the very next.
Tsk.
Steering away a lil', I went for couple of interviews lately. 1 at an ad agency, 1 at an interactive agency, 1 at an event house. 3 different places, 3 different jobscopes and requirements needed and I have to wait for their reply. Instinct tells me, the ad agency option is down, so I'm left with the other 2 more chances. Will see how it goes.
How I wish I can be like QiQi - quit first and think about securing a job later. How very daring of her (well, technically speaking, been there done that... that's why I know its not easy and its a very daring act, lol)
SMILE! :D
Because it's a 2 months notice lol! Seriously, I need to get out first as it's too busy to go for any interviews at all! I wish you all the best in your job hunt :) We ganbatte together ya? ;)
