So the bumming has ended, and I am now a member of the workforce!

It's been a long journey filled with moments of uncertainty, low self-esteem ("I so lousy meh, how come no one wants to hire me?"), indecisiveness (when the job offers do come, but somehow don't seem good enough), and not to mention days when I was soooo bored just bumming around at home.

So I'm now a Senior Officer (Communications) at JTC. Hahaha sounds so big right. But actually I'm really near the bottom of the food chain. And of course, I'm now a slave to the government. I realize every job comes with its own set of pros and cons; it's just whether they weigh each other out at the end.

I admit that I considered rejecting the offer though haha. But the department head called me and had an hour-long conversation with me to answer whatever concerns I had. I think it's the effort she bothered to put in that really changed my mind, and also cuz she didn't gloss over the ugly sides of the job but shared her honest opinions. Hopefully she'll still be as nice when I start work :S So despite the potential zzz-ness of the jobscope (packaging JTC's happenings to the media, as if industrial estates are very fun things to talk about) and the kns office location, I think there'd be much to learn and benefit in the long term. It's your attitude that makes the diff I guess.

But I definitely do not look forward to travelling 1 hour all the way to the other end of the island everyday. The fact that work starts at 8.30am does not help. I foresee no end to my strong caffeine dependency. But oh well, I guess it could be worse. And now that I'm gainfully employed, I have to stop myself from regretting my decision and thinking about other potential interviews/offers that might come my way. I just have to trust in God, that this is where He wants me to be, and to make the most of it!

Now you do the same and you're right
Things are better in black and white
