Ok... That's It!!!

I get a call this morning from my boss... more questions... this, that, this, that...

Didn't you think of this? Didn't you think of that? 

NO! I didn't! 

I told you to do this... why didn't you do it? 

Because I can't spend money. Everytime I spend you all question me. 

Operating costs and upgrading costs are different.

Yes, I know... but that's not what happens every month! You all start questioning me on why I never met the targeted profits. What do you really want? If there's anything that I am really good at is upgrading but I can't upgrade like this!

I know it's hard...

Yes, it's hard... so hard that I want to quit!!

Silence...

May I make a suggestion?

Sure, go ahead...

Quit when everything's okay. It will be good for you.

Oh, don't worry about that. I've made arrangements.

What do you mean by you have made arrangements?

I'll turn this place around before I leave. I'm already halfway there. I'll see it through.

Silence... he tones down and diverts the conversation.

No attempt to retain me. No questions... nothing. I guess my instincts were right that there is something going on at the top level and I am caught in between.

I called my friend Pam. Pam interviewed me a few months back via Yahoo! Messenger. Yes, Yahoo! Messenger. Cute huh? She's opening a resort in Langkawi and in that interview she asked me mostly questions on what I would need to open that resort. I aced the interview and she was impressed despite me being rude and also scolding her for asking questions which were vague and me asking more questions actually. Hahahahaha... this can only happen when the interviewer is your friend and you're not desperate for a job. The offer was made then but I said I'd think about it... 40% more than current salary to run a 44 unit resort. That's just Phase 1. Phase 2 will see 125 more units and will be complete 1 year after Phase 1 is up and running and I would get an adjustment in salary then. Now, this is a very good deal... but I tarik harga lah then... of course. First of all, it was still to early at that point, secondly I was not desperate then and thirdly, must tarik harga lah...

Anyway, she told me the job is mine she was just going to call me too to check if I had made my mind up. No formal interview needed. Just needed to meet up next week for a chit chat. She's even letting me stay on to see if I can get bonus here before I tender my letter. So... I secured a job verbally... starting in the 1st quarter of next year if I take the job.

Now... need to update my resume and look for other options.
