life's sense of humor

I am once again in a confused situation. Just when I have conditioned my mind that working here is more practical and more beneficial, with regard to building my career, it’s all put on hold.

This afternoon, I received a phone call from the HR informing me to submit the pre-employment requirements on Friday. She was telling me to bring additional id picture and P100 for initial deposit (because I need to open an account for my payroll). There was no doubt that I was on my way to being officially hired. But before the conversation ended, I had to confirm when they are expecting me to start working. Then she said, August 1 probably. I said no. I put in my application form that I will be available for employment on October still. She said, really? She said as far as she is concerned, this position is for urgent hiring. I went on to reason because I am reviewing for the bar. The exams won’t be done until September. Then she said she had to verify with the department. Then I asked, do I need to wait for you call or I’ll go ahead and submit the requirements on Friday? She said, I have to wait. Boom!

As this whole situation has smeared my plans after the bar with one phone call (inviting me to take an exam), it has again smeared my new plan with another phone call (holding my employment). Hmp! See? This is exactly why when I make up my mind, I stick to it. I don’t like entertaining anything else that can disrupt its peace so to speak anymore. And this one time that I did make an exception, what I’m avoiding to happen actually happens!

Talk about life’s sense of humor. But there is a good side with this. Fate will decide for me. I will be where I should be. So we’ll see.
