This was a bit of a busy week for me and I was actually surprised when Friday came around.

I went for an interview this week after a fairly long time, as it turns out. Actually I was sure I would not go to this interview. What happened was someone from this organisation called me last week and asked me if I was free this week for the interview. Normally, a call is always followed up with an email confirming the interview and the details. But the email never came until a day before the supposed interview date and after I had given up on this organisation for being rude and disrespectful of me and my time. When the email came, I was surprised that the employee handbook and a detailed job description (along with targets and KPI) were sent. This intrigued me enough to actually go for the interview. As of now, I am still undecided if this is the right fit for me, but I have decided to keep an open mind for now. They are seeing others, obviously and will let me know if I have to go down for a second round. The interviewers were also interested in the fact that I blog and wanted me to send them links to this space. I declined since I blog anonymously and don’t want my privacy shot. The price I pay for privacy! Should I privatise these updates posts and share the rest with people? I am still on the fence on this.

On other sad news, last Friday, I heard of the demise of one of my managers. I have now known him for more than a decade and he was too young to go, he was in his mid fifties only! I learned that he had been sick for a while now and was hospitalised in a bigger city around 170 km from his hometown. He died fifteen minutes after he was sent by ambulance to his home surrounded by his wife, children, parents and siblings due to multiple organ failure. He was a good human being and a boss who cared for his subordinates so I was quite upset when I heard the news on social media. May his soul Rest In Peace.

We will enter February later this week and I can’t help but want this year to go slow. We have the GCSE exams at the end of the year and I am just not ready for it.

On that note, have a great and productive week folks!
