I daresay its been such a long time since I blogged last. Many things did occur during the past few months, and all of it cannot be said, some are better not said. I even have 2 followers!! Surprise.... surprise!!! Honestly, when I saw it at first I didn't know how to take it, or how to feel. Why not just let it be?!?
At the moment Sri Lanka is not the ideal place if you're looking for a job; then again there's hardly anything ideal about it at all. No doubt there's God given natural beauty- pristine beaches, highlands and lowlands, wet and dry locales etc. But when it comes to the economy nothing is going the way it should. Basically, this small Indian Ocean isle is still screwed!! We have a Central Bank that conveniently conjures up stats and figures to show all is fine and dandy, but nothing is further from the truth. Now, every unemployed ass is running around like a headless chicken applying for jobs. Whether they are qualified for the job or not is a different issue; bottom line is, people need a job. I'm a desperado as well with the only exception being slightly selective as to where I apply.
I get a numbing feeling at times when looking around me thinking if I truly belong to this place? Many times it has made me realise that I don't. Maybe its because nothing is going my way, and I mean nothing!!
I got to know today morning that I hadn't qualified for the third round of a job by a leading local conglomerate. Question- ain't that a bitch?!? Pls don't answer that. Now, I have to pin my hopes on two others for which I was interviewed. Having nerves of steel is not good enough really; I need nerves of titanium. I'm just praying to God for something good, at least for the time being.
I really should resume blogging more frequently.....
