2017 Week 47 Update

The last few weeks of the year are upon us and all over we can hear the chimes of the Christmas bells and songs.

I’ve an interesting week career-wise. On Monday, a recruiter from an MNC reached out to me via LinkedIn to want to speak to me for a possible contract position there. I’ve accepted the invite to speak, but this person has still not gotten on the phone with me. Then on Tuesday another recruiter got in touch for a fairly entry level position. This recruiter was very weird and kept asking very personal questions, which I did not like and was slightly brusque in replying to her. Again no callback, but this was something I expected. The last was from another organisation where I had applied to from a mums job portal. They asked me to come in one day this week to discuss the job offer. This again seemed a bit funny to me because who offers a job to someone without even meeting them once? I wrote back saying I would be happy to meet them to discuss the position and so am going there this week. I suspect this is a part-time position, but it’s something I am willing to consider at this point.

S is on leave this week and so we’re planning some activities with the parents and children. Let’s see what we end up doing!

Have a great week everyone!!

2017 Week 46 Update

Another week where nothing really happened.

I got a call from a recruiter for some potential short term positions. I have indicated interest, but am wondering if this is the right way to go. Anyway not expecting much happening between now to the beginning of the new year since most people will hang on to get their bonuses before quitting. Anyways, one can always hope.

I did my hba1c test and the score has remained the same from three months ago. It’s still higher than what I’d ideally like it to be, but looks like the Diwali feasting didn’t take as much a toll on me as much as I did.

Have a wonderful week folks!

2017 Week 45 Update

Sometimes I wonder about the point of updating this space on a weekly basis when nothing happens in my life!

This was another usual boring week where the highlight was going to the library. I have started reading more in the last month, but had to scale down my reading challenge for the year so that I can actually hit it.

Yesterday, I was hit by a sudden cough which has now moved to a raging cold and a bad throat. Feeling sick and sleepy all at the same time!

Have a blessed week people!

2017 Week 44 Update

Another week where nothing happened!

This week is my father-in-law’s annual shradh. This is a ceremony we hold every year to propitiate and sate your ancestors. In my community, this is more strictly adhered to than other communities. Maybe I will do a post on this ritual one of these days.

It’s on to another week of hoping and praying all issues are resolved and things are happy!

Have a blessed week, people….

2017 Week 43 Update

The same old week. There’s literally nothing to add to last week.

With the great week we had with regards to the children doing well in school and getting the subjects of their choice, I really wanted the week to end on a high with some good news on my job search front too. Unfortunately that didn’t happen. Aah well, I’ll take what happiness I get!

I am hoping this week will have some positive news for me!

Have a wonderfully blessed week everyone!!
