Hi-Ho Hi-Ho and Off to Work We Go

I've been itching to blog about Penny's bday celeb and Grace's bday/despedida this past weekend. But I feel a bit sad right now with my work. I know I've been raving about my performance evaluation for last year. But I can't help but think that I'm not really happy here. I'm not happy with what I'm doing. On my first job I quit because I didn't like my boss very much plus I feel that she's not giving me work to use up my full potential. So I left and worked for a much nicer boss, much nicer co-workers and much nicer company. I liked my work on my 2nd company. My work there entails long working hours as in late in the evening until 12 midnight. Because of the long working hours, I didn't have much time to study for actuarial exams thus no exams passed while I was there. That was hard because my salary increase depended on my passing the exams which is sad because as much as I like my work, my boss and my co-workers I can't live with only that much salary. Plus I felt that the stress of studying and taking the exams was so much for me. I didn't want to pursue the actuarial career because of that. Taking actuarial exams is investing your time, money and emotions into it. I didn't have the time. I didn't have the money. And I felt I can't take it anymore. So when I saw the advertisement for an opening here at the bank, I applied. And much to my delight they called me for an exam and interview. As they say, the rest is history.

But now, I find myself missing my previous work. I miss the stress that comes with the work. I miss my boss and co-workers who eventually became my friends. The only thing that makes me happy here at my present job is my salary. I know, it's so shallow. I think I'm overpaid with the work I'm doing here. I'm not challenged with my work here. Feeling ko nabo-bobo ako dito. So I decided to make other plans. And that 'other plans' replied to me:

The purpose of this post: Please pray for me. Please pray that if it's meant for me to stay here, that I should learn to be patient and accept what I have now. But if it's better for me to go to another place then please pray that I will have the courage to do just that.
