there was a time..

Since my last day would be the next few days. Let me tell you how i arrived here. I was previously working at a consulting company, they're creating, running, and implementing IT and management consulting to sume huge company all around the world. As a clue, Tiger Woods was our brand ambassador (before the 'hot' news ofcourse). Some of you may know, some don't, it's understandable since not all the people interesting in IT and Management consulting right? Anyway, no, i am not a consultant, i was working there in enterprise as an HR Support. Actually my job at the time was calculating reimbursement for employee benefits, invoices, medical insurance, and anything related to the allowances, acompesation and benefits, that would be me. The other HR handling recruitment, and accidentaly i have to replace her on campus recruitment due to her sick-leave. So there i was in Binus University with numbers of IT graduate searching for jobs. We had a high standard (seriously high)for graduated students who wan'ts to apply. If you're IT graduated student and your GPA was below 3.5 (out of 4) we're gonna have to skip you. So our booth was rather uhm.. empty. Only 10 to 15 students drop by and asking how they can drop the CV (we don't accept hard copy CV).

It's just like the opposite, the booth next to mine was crowded all the time, the queuing was almost always full and in a long line. student seemed enthusiastic to get their opportunity to drop the CV over there. I can't be more agree, it was obvious since the company was (and still) well known and now it's an affiliate of the biggest tobacco company in the world, well, more reason to get interested in joinning uh?

But at the time i was happily working at my office, people there were fantastic, even until two years after my resignation i still keep in touch. But you know, maybe Allah got another plan for me at the time. One 'bule' from the next booth came to my booth and told me that he was also working for my company about 20 years ago. I said twenty years ago i was still 2 years old, he laugh and started telling me his story. Long chit-chat and eventually he invited me to his booth (the crowded one). Sorry, i forgot, his initial name was KDC (everyone in my office's finance know this initial) and i didn't know that he was the CFO at the time, whoaa!!

So, he introduce me to a lady, later i knew that she was also a director like him. I just didn't know why she directly offer me a job, a permanent one with pension plan, medical that i never had as a contractor, and many other allowances. Oh yeah that fast! the next month i resigned from my lovely office and move here.

I never know that i'm gonna have to resign (again) one day, and only God knew the day is just few days from now. It was not because i don't like it here, i have to admit this company offer me a bright future. But uh, no. I have to set my priority, in fact, working all the time was never be my real dream. As a matter of fact, i hates working overtime and exhausted everytime i got home. I also hates people yelling and panicking while facing some crazy deadlines. Pressure all the time trust me it's sucks. But that's office dude. What do you expect right? anywhere you work, i think it'll be the same ahaha... (not sure about this one actually).

I'm enjoying house-work, being a wife, and later a mother. I do cook, make some cakes, wrapping, gardening, and stuffs. What i really want and i think would be the best for me is probably doing business, but, still dunno when to start, where to begin, but yes i have something (lots of things in fact) in my mind. Let's hope, after pregnancy and delivery i can started something new, something i really enjoy, something that keeping me close to the family, something that i can control and i will not be exhausted anymore. The best part of this scene is my dearest husband always by my side, giving me support and love for the family.
