Thankful to Start a New Job Soon!
Happy TGIF to all in this Friday the 13th of November. So far my day went well. How about yours? I hope you are having a wonderful one. It seems like yesterday when I went back to jobland. It is over a year now since I started working again. It was tough during the first weeks and months but so far due to pragmatic approach with this job, I survive. I could never imagine to continue doing it but due to the many inspirations I have, especially with the ongoing projects I am doing right now back in my home country, I am forced to do this job.
Being a travel blogger and as a digital nomad, who have been partially living a nomadic life for around 8 years before, I decided to work again. I mean, I settled for over a year now with this current job in one of the US Army Bases here in Europe. Being a digital nomad for around 8 years, I work anytime and anywhere I want as long as I have my laptop and an internet connection. It was a beautiful and challenging life and I would say, I am missing it.
I am happy and so thankful that I will be starting a new job next month. I am ready to let go of my current job. I would say, I am not so contented with it and I deserve a better one. Last month, I received a call, while I was getting ready to go to work. When I answered it, it was the manager of the entity who was asking what day and time would I be available for an interview. In short, I was interviewed and the manager told me that my resume looks really good. With that words, I am seeing light to get the job.
Three days after the interview, I got a call while I was still sleeping. I had late shift that day and decided to set the alarm later so I can sleep longer. It was October 30, at 7:45 AM. The ringing of the phone woke me up. I was thinking, who was calling so early in the morning because I am not really expecting anyone or I would say, I seldom talk to anybody on the phone except that I will be calling for doctor’s appointment or book a trip.
I was already thinking that it might be someone from the personnel office of the US Army. I was not mistaken, it was indeed the head of the personnel office. He said that I get the job and asked me if I am willing to take it. I did not think twice but answered a big “yes”! He told me to ask my current manager when can be the possible time that I will be released from my job. My manager told me that he wanted to me to stay until the month of November. It would mean that I can start with the new job on the first day of December.
I am so thankful with this early Christmas present, I would say. With this job, I can already practice a part of my bachelors degree and profession as a banker. More on that, the salary is better, the working time is better and the work is lighter. More on that, I might have more time to do blogging. I almost quit on this but I would say, a blogger will always be a blogger, no matter what!
I can’t wait for another challenge in my life. I know I can do it and it is time for me to shine once again and prove my worth. I hope and pray that with this job, more projects, dreams and wishes will be materialized…..one at a time.
Lastly, I am thankful and grateful to God for all his goodness and blessings to me and my family. Despite my imperfection, He is still always there for me. Thank you Lord!
