and my week just had to start this way...


what's equally painful as getting dumped?

it's getting accepted for the position that you've almost been dreaming of; assuring you that your transfer to their department won't be a problem; discussing with you your job responsibilities; giving you remarkable feedback from the whole committee; receiving a confirmation from the HR person that will arrange your transfer. only to find out in the end that....they can't afford your services. darn.

is this the downside of being a part of the highly respected and most elite account in our company? your transfer to another account or department would mean risking your decent salary.

i'm almost tempted to say that..."it's ok, i don't mind if you pay me less than what i'm earning now. i just want to do what i love. i want to be able put my teaching/training skills to good use". but no, i'm not that stupid. in this age, no matter how much we deny it, money is a big factor to consider in our lives. it's not that i'm being materialistic, i'm just being practical. and i know that i should get paid what i work for. monetary isssues will forever be a part of us.

and i thought i'd have a verrry exciting and challenging year ahead of me. hah! i thought wrong.

i am hoping that something good will happen to me before this year ends -- just to make up for this frustration. God, if this is your plan...i'd accept it. if there is indeed a reason for everything, help me see it.
