Stoked!

I'm stoked! I sent out my resume to a financial services firm a week ago (not related to my previous post) and totally forgot about the whole thing because of work and other stuff. Early this week they called that they were interested. Four days and two phone interviews later I got the job. Woohoo! Now, I hope they give me the salary and benefits that's hard to turn down. How's that for ending the year with a bang?

Update:
I declined the offer. With the financial crisis and a 9pm-6am shift, the pay wasn't worth it. My teammates who knew I had a job offer were more disappointed than me when they learned how much the offer was. Haha. Now I do hope that job I previously blogged will call. That would be a great Christmas gift.

Have a great weekend everyone!

9pm -6am? Hirap niyan, babaligtad mundo mo jan. On the upside, walang traffic going to work and it's not too hot either. Yun nga lang, buhay bampira ka, gising pag gabi, tulog pag umaga. Which reminds me of Twilight. Have you seen that abomination?

Naintriga tuloy ako kung anong company 'yan. I used to work for one. Hindi nga malaki ang sweldo, pero naging masaya naman ako dun. Hehe. = P
