(according to) God's plans

It has been all most a week since my last post. I tried to have a blog entry for the past days but was not able to come up with one. I had a very busy first week at work.

Yes, it's right. I have a new job. I have found a new job after five months of staying at home. Finally, I was able to find a day time call center job that would not require me to be awake at nights and asleep in the morning.

Don't get me wrong now. I loved my graveyard call center job with HSBC before. I had good salary, perks, benefits, and lovely friends. I had wonderful TLs and even got along with maintenance and security people. It's just that, I'm more used to waking up in the mornings and sleeping at nights. I had to leave that company because my health suffered when I was there. I just can't compromise my health any more just to have those that I had with HSBC. So there, I worked for an Australian account to have my life back.

I was with Acquire Asia Pacific for roughly five months. I wanted to stay there for good but there had been indifferences between me and some colleagues. I guess, I was not able to set aside my principles at that time in favor of my work. My rebellious nature got me resigning even before regularization. It was a blessing in disguise though, as I got pregnant and found out about it a month after resigning.

Then as some of you know, that pregnancy had to end with miscarriage. I was willing to stay at home and on bed rest for the duration of my pregnancy if needed. However, no amount of rest or caution saved my baby. Thus, I found my self busy looking for a new job a month after that incident.

My goal is to find a job at least before Christmas. I wanted to make sure that I will have enough funds to buy Christmas presents and goodies for everyone. My prayer then was, to have a day shift job to have a pretty normal life. But, I was willing to take a graveyard job again if there's nothing to fit me in the morning shift. Luckily, I found one that suits me.

Honestly, I am not going to receive the same salary or benefits that I used to enjoy with HSBC. Not even close to that from Acquire. I will be receiving less. But then again, it's not always about money. I told my self that this is better than having to settle for a night shift work again. At least, I can say that there's a lot of promise in this company as early as now. I know that if I will just be patient, I'll have what I believe I deserve here.

Hopefully, this time I will not be stubborn and resign again before regularization. Hopefully, this time I will be staying for good and build my career. Hopefully, things will turn positive, according to God's plans...
