May Day

Found out that the marketing exec in the banking division has resigned as well! So there's no marketing execs in the co. haha. and we are starting our new jobs on the same day!! wow. what a coincidence. i wonder who would continue to write the newsletters since both of us are leaving. corporate comms manager? Nah..she doesnt know how to use photoshop and pagemaker. i wonder who would do the MR (material requisition) chunk for my boss. it's a long painful process and im the expert in that already. some of my colleagues are praying they wont get to do the sh*t. i think my leaving might cause more workload to my colleagues.sorry! not that i want to but boh bian.

anyway my new maid came...and she just ruin my pants :( why is it even when i have warned all the maids ( previous & current ) about putting a cloth OVER the pants when they iron...they still would not listen? sigh.

Finally adopted

My wish for 2007 came true! i got a new job :) i cant contain my happiness and excitement because the new co- Chemical US MNC gave me a great package and most importantly, prospects for the future! i'm overwhelmed. My agent was overwhelmed too. My efforts have finally paid off after so many rounds of interview. i tendered my resignation yesterday and my boss was caught by surprise. It was tough for me to go in and tell him i wanna leave. He's busy travelling for work next week and preparing for baselining in mid-may. It's not a good time i know but i dont have much of a choice. Anyway R (my boss) told me that he will miss me if i leave and he asked if he can do anything to make me stay...like giving a pay increment. I doubt he can ever pay me as much as the new co. R told me if i ever changed my mind or didnt like the new co he would always welcome me back to WN.

He rattled on how he's glad that i did a good job and he never did need to hand-hold me to teach me stuff-he calls it the "auto-pilot mode". He also revealed that he gave me a yearly pay increment and not everyone in my division has a yearly increment. i was touched because i can feel that he appreciates me and im glad that i did a good job. He even offered to be a referral in my resume in future shall i need it. it's hard to describe my feelings now... sad yet happy. haha. I love the people in WN despite certain parts of the jobscope but the prob is how can i move upwards? R emphasized that WN is stable and not all co are stable. i know i can remain in WN forever but what do i learn out of it? i've already learnt all that i could in my position. be it design, writing, events, logistics, product withdrawals, handling countries, weight-lifting w goods etc...it simply became mundane. i believe i am ready to do something new, take on different roles.

A few of my colleagues knew abt my resignation and started sending me "congrats" greetings. suddenly i felt as if im getting married or something...HAHA. just an amusing thought. well, i'm really glad to have met some of these colleagues whom stood by to support me whenever im down at work and it's really sweet when they told me they are worried how R will respond to my resignation and they are very happy for me to have gotten a new job. Lydia sms-ed " will of course support u, we are the si mei jie mei. " that kept me laughing. i will miss "san mei" n jozua too.

anyway i believe the new co will be a big challenge so i better have a good rest and enjoy myself before i start work again on 11th Jun. hope i can handle it man. wish me luck! ;)
