2017 Week 49 Update

Nothing really happened this week – I went to a second round of interviews at the part-time position I had applied to but may have to do one more round. Because this is the holiday season, most people are not around and so things are at a stalemate, at least until the new year, my job search is at a pause.

I’ve completely lost my writing mojo these days and find it difficult to write down even a few lines. I really don’t know what I can do to get out of this funk, maybe the new year will bring cheer to me!

Have a wonderful last few days of the 2017!

Another interesting week in terms of interviews. I interviewed for the position I mentioned last week and in the middle of the week, got another offer to interview. The second position is better than the first one, which may turn out to be a part-time one after all. During the second interview, the interviewer was selling the company and position to me, which I understand is something positive.

We also went out quite a bit this week as S was on leave and that was something we rarely do as a family, what with school and work getting in the way.

The year is winding down and I am now starting to work on what I want to achieve in 2018. This is something I try to do regularly and want to continue next year also.

What are your plans for the rest of 2017 and in 2018?

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!!

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!

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!
