The Green Ogress

I spend most of it taking calls from friends and wellwishers.

Some thought me quitting was a mistake of Elephantine proportions ( maybe bigger)

Then I had my Mum's sister call me and sound me off for resigning without thinking of my responsibilities.

Over all Friday was cry-day for me!

Then I accidentally met another of my School Buddy who recognized me and walked up to me( again married recently and the usual question thrown at me- are you married? NO? wow didn't find anyone after all these years?)

Hey she is a nice person just the usual mentality here is that 26 you should be married.

anyway it was lovely meeting another old friend after 10 odd years!

Then Friday night and Saturday was spend in a drunken haze to eliminate the fact that my life seems to hitting a brand new LOW( the lower then the moss which covers the earth)

I am lost
I have lost the will to work
I have lost my usual enthusiasm

One person told me I was running too fast and am suffering from the after effect( burn out)

Maybe I am.

What worries me is that if I dont get a job in 2 weeks- i am in for some major disaster.

I will have no house because I cant pay rent.

I will have very little money and

I have a mum to take care of

Plus my pet Zoe is preggers and expecting s litter soon

I have one choice.. go back to my town where i grew up and live in the house we had there.

That town is a sleepy old town with very old fashioned people and hardly any work for women which pays.

The VP was 6 minutes late( fashionably late I guess) !!

and then he picked up my resume and started grilling me for minute details of all my 5 year worth of experience in various fields.

Why I quit my Job?,
Why i changed my field?
why I want to change my job again?
why is it that i have stuck to my previous organizations for a year and not more?
why did i leave X organization and what was the cause for it to loose reputation in the job market?

I mean for over 1 hour 30 minutes this man just kept going on and on.

I needed breaks to drink water but not him!!!!

I wonder if VP's generally grill a person at interview for over one hour.

and when at the end of it I asked him for my feedback he states " well your profile is interesting however I am looking for someone with Banking /Financial service experience. I will have my HR get back to you"

OKay! so does that Mean i get it? or not?

Lets play the Russian roulette shall we now?

I am sitting at this video conference center waiting for my final round of Interview with VP of a UK based company.

Wish me Luckkk!

PS: I am sleepy
