God's test to try me...
If I have a plan, and the more that it's serious, the more God give me unexpected situations.
Here are some tests I had encountered in life that made me grow. And some decisions just made my life suck! But any decisions I make, it is my decision that would lead to another decision that I should make in the near future.
To accept the summer job that may lead to part-time job as a Chinese typist in a cemetery.
This is indeed a wow from my Chinese computer teacher. I was at my 3rd year high school then. I type Chinese characters really fast during those times. To accept or not, I weigh in all the pros and cons.
I didn't accept the offer. I think it would be a good job, and the offer is not that bad. The only problem is, only I and another guy would be in the office up to about 6:00 pm. And I can't imagine myself walking from the office to the cemetery gate after office hours. The office is located in the very inside of the cemetery.
I really like the job. It would be the first job I have if only I had accepted it. I got my parent's approval to decide if I like to accept the job. So I was like... I would accept it... No, I'm afraid of ghost!
Leave the job that I would be regularized, on the programming language that I aim to give my resume a good status to international and high-paying software company.
I am the type of programmer who aims the best for myself. I want to be considered as one of the best programmers in a company. I hope I had achieved that in some companies I had worked in. I also aim to get trust and respect from the clients of the company. My gender is a little issue, although it shouldn't be. Most companies I'm in had this "He's better than her." But at the end, I had proved that I am better than the guys =)
At that time, my boyfriend (now my husband) and I was planning to get marry. I need to arrange so many things (I won't explain them the detail here anymore). I know and I feel that I would be regularized. But before the HR would approach me, I told my supervisor and the HR that I don't want to turn them down that's why I won't stay with them. Staying with them, I would have lots of absences which is not a good sign to become a good employee. And the job requires my full time to create applications with tight deadlines, and test other software.
To accept a job that is almost equal to my first job.
I hate them for giving me such an experience that I would never forget, an experience that every good programmer doesn't deserve! I like to have a job. And they need someone to start their company. I agreed. After a year, I got an increase. We had talked about what I can do in the company. But later on, I got some restrictions. I'm just a hard-headed employee to them. They need a programmer who is willing to work in their company. I need a job that would let me have late and absences. It should be a win-win situation. But I guess I am a martyr to accept job interview offers from other better companies.
I accepted the job offer. But after more than 4 or 5 years, I resigned. I think I would have a depression. Now, they have a programmer, or programmers. I think I won't enjoy the perks and salary level that their programmers have. I am a female. And I might be taken for granted, that I won't resign, that I would have a hard time looking for a job because of my motherhood. Although they might say that it's no true that they had taken me for granted, that's what I actually felt. And I hate it when they make me a fool in front of their clients.
Okay, I would like to thank them too for some good reasons.
To marry or not...
I was asking myself, "Is this the guy that I would marry?" I asked myself a lot more questions 3 months before the wedding date. I like to say no. I like to run! But I was thinking of my parents. I don't want to give them more troubles. And I love him anyway, even if we're quarreling a lot.
I said "I do."
Job interview offers from big companies.
I really don't want to go back to work. There would be pros and cons. Should I accept job interview offers? I had gone to one. It is really a good company. I'm not sure if working in there would make me a better programmer/system analyst. But for sure, the starting salary is good.
I got another job interview to attend. And maybe some more in the near future. I am not actively looking for a job. I want to get a job but I am waiting for companies to call =)
A friend told me. I can go back to work and try if that kind of lifestyle can fit with my motherhood life. If it doesn't, then I am free to resign. I would want to thank him for that advise. My mother also feel at ease after hearing that advise I told her. My mother now encourage me to attend job interviews if offers come.
God is testing me on what I would do in my life, what decisions would I make, and how I would like to mold my future and my family's future. It would be a step-by-step for me. I hope to attain an 80,000 Pesos per month salary someday, like other 4 years programmers out there. I got 10 years of experience. But I hadn't worked in a big prestigious international company.
I hope when I go back to work, everything would be fine. I worry about Ivan. I really hope everything would be fine...
