Greener Pastures

Today is another shocking day at work.

Aaron Tan left Mass Power Services as of today. On a typical morning, he's usually at the Burlington branch. Then this morning he came by the office. So nothing unusual, since Boss often ask him to come to Bugis branch. Then he went into Boss' cubicle. So there the rest of us were... doing our work.

Suddenly, he came by, and shook our hands. Then i was like, "what happened?" He just said, :"Today my last day..."

After that, all of us continued our work. Then we received his sms, saying his goodbyes to us. So i sms-ed back. "Why the sudden decision to leave?" He replied : "got a better offer".

Well, best wishes to you, Aaron.

Last time, Boss always tried to 'matchmake' us. That was really quite bo-liao. But seriously, he's quite a nice guy.... all the guys in Mass Power are. Even that irritating guy who sat beside me in Burlington... Anyway, that's a side-track.

I've been feeling stressed at work. I was very tired lah. Guess the monthly thing does bring a negative effect, with the stress of telemarketing.

I just realized that i have Pre and Post problem. Haiz. I guess work stress really is a part of it. Yesterday i experienced the worst i guess. Had terrible headache, not really in the mood to telemarkt. Then this client (I'll call him S) called me. Well, then S was telling me that he did experience some sort of rut that he ran into at work, and the uncertainty of the line of work is it really for him.

I guess, with the 2 months to hit my target is left with 1.5 months..... i dunno how long will i withstand.

I don't deny that i'm seeking at alternative, because i simply don't want to wait for Boss to tell me that it's the end with MP. But i have to protect my interests too. Well..... it's in the down season for now to hire.

Seems like those in recruitment consulting, their next career path is usually HR... Well.... if the day comes for me to leave, i dunno if i'll go into HR. Because Andrewson and Rachel took a different path.

Anyway, i'll just work hard at what i'm doing first, then if i really need to leave, hopefully I'll get good offers.

My career path is in God's hands. I know that i can be secure, and trust God for my future.

Jer 29:11 "For I know the thoughts that i think towards you, Says God, Thoughts of good and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope."
