The interview date has been re-arranged to Wednesday, September 23rd instead. Dang! I've actually cleared my Tuesday for this, now I'm here typing and enjoying the cool, wet Tuesday, rain wet (hey! naughty naughty!).
I've been up early, but lazed in bed till some calls and SMSes woke me up. I had SWORN the night before to get up early (again, early is a relative word) to get some "work" done, like filling out claim forms for client, look through their bills, reply to my "boss" that I'm giving him the sack since he's forcing me to a roadshow again with "your attendence is REQUIRED" (actually he has good intentions, I hope). Not forgetting putting listings together, follow up with clients, AND IMPORTANTLY, prepare for my interview tomorrow.
It's been, what, almost 8 months since I left the corporate world. I am wondering, have I lost my corporate sparkle? I was doing well in my previous company, and they did make drastic (ok, I'm exaggerating) changes after I'm gone, and my former boss did receive a warning from the no.1 man in Asia.
I wonder if this "self-employed" life has made me soft. You see, there are no real political arena in this self-employed world. The only gossips within your own clique are those colleagues who had notoriously appeared on YouTube. Other than that, it's "hey, where should we hang out today?", "which client are you meeting today? have you prepared?" or "which listings are you working on?"
Not that I have gave up on my interests in Financial Planning or anything, but for an undisciplined person like myself, I need a fixed job to keep disciplined. What I had gone through, I had disciplined myself financially (sort of). I think I can bring these good financial habits to the workplace, and KEEP IT.
Let me shine!
