Concluded

Eventually, i failed to revert on Friday as i was struggling to hit the right decision.

But now as i blog, everything has been settled. The dilemma has ceased.

Let's sum it up to say it was mutual consensus that I am ready to step out & look elsewhere. I am truly grateful for all my GM's vested interests in me, although i can't quite say the same for the Ah Lian Manager.

In fact, she called me once more early this week again, to check on my decision once more.

And no surprises for guessing it right, the conversation was painful for as long as it lasted. Stuff that i have previously told her obviously did not register since she referred to the information she knew to be from a 3rd party's source.

I have no freaking idea how people with listening problem can survive in the service line for a decade. Maybe she is doing something right, if not, she is just utterly blessed from good karma accumulated in her previous life. Of which, i leer on the latter. Maybe she was a Lama. (?!)

Anyway, when she realised i will not be looking back anymore, she sounded bitterly caustic at the other end. I have no idea why she wouldn't come to terms with it, it was obvious right from the start isn't it?

My now ex-colleague suggested maybe she sounded bitter because she was still harbouring some hopes of me returning. Well, I can't quite say i cared for her tone though.

On the flip side, if anything at all, i should thank her for opening the doors of reality on me. Otherwise, i might still be thinking that the corporate life is sugar, spice and everything nice.

Perhaps this is the kinda silver lining that everybody should be trained to look at. You know, for an easier life.

Off to chalet over the weekend, hope it's gonna be fun to see everybody again. :)  ¶ J poppycocked at 2:33:00 AM
