…always get me down!
Yes, it is Monday and it is raining.
I think I will join The Carpenters and Garfield on the anti-Monday campaign. Well, I really don’t hate each and every Monday, it’s just that today doesn’t feel right for me.
I never liked and never will like rain. Although, as a little girl, I used to play in the rain with my neighbours. I remember when it is really poured, as it is typical in the Philippines, I would run to my Lola Nini (my grand aunt) so she could put baby oil in my back. Never really understood why I do need to be ‘oiled’. Then I go running to the nearest alulod and ‘shower’ — with my clothes on, of course! Yes, even after that, I still didn’t grow to enjoy the heaven’s downpour of tears.
As if the rain isn’t bad enough, I swallowed a mint! It was the size of a normal vitamin pill and as I write this post, I could still feel it lodged in my throat. I do hope that it will dissolve soon. Otherwise, how else can I take that out? :tired:
On a brighter side, a head hunter (with a very heavy Irish accent) rang me around lunchtime offering me a job. He said that their client – a big IT consulting company – is looking for consultants who have experience in implementing billing and CIS systems. He didn’t specify if it was for a permanent or contractual post but he did mention that the project site will be at Worthing, in West Sussex. It does sound attractive but I had to turn it down. As I told him, “I’m happily employed at the moment.” I do have job security at the moment and I’m very thankful for that. Much as the offer seemed to be really challenging (and possibly would pay well likewise), I still have a lot to take from my position and I know that the company also has still has a lot to take from me. I just hope that when I reach that point where I need to move on, opportunities like this will just be round the corner.
Ah Monday…only 5 more hours to go! Come back next week with more sunshine please!
