Job Response

As most of you know... I recently applied for this c-a-p-t-i-o-n-e-r/speech p-r-o-d-u-c-t-i-o-n trainer position at the company I am currently working for... And hoorah hoorah, yippy yippy aye yay! I got the job! Was expecting the call next week, but nah, they contacted me today - just a few hours ago to let me know. I would say I'm pretty excited but I am also a little bit sad... just cause I know I can cope next year, but the following year, I might have to give up one of the things I love. I think it's pretty tough when you have two things you really love. To tell you guys the truth, I never expected to go any further in my job and up to trainer managerial type position in this company... and I was praying to God a few times, saying how He and I know that my time's up in the company and that there's no where else to go with my job... unfortunately I was wrong and God showed that I could actually get up there with everyone else. I guess it was just self-doubt in thinking that this Asian gal can actually get to that position, you know. So anyway... now my goals have changed. Initially, it was my course that I came up to Sydney... but now, it looks like career prospects too. It's obviously really tough loving both, like I said. And it looks like I'll be in Sydney for quite a while. So yeah, that's my sad moment... like what happens to TY, what happens to my course if I choose to go on with the job... I guess with the course, I can always defer another year. Afterall, I would already be having quite a good career... and like my life is quite stable and I already have quite a few qualifications... so I guess it's not a regret at all, heading up to Syd.

Well, I start my job 3rd July and already, they have a lot of work for me to get through... It's me and this other gal (who has already been a trainer for a very long time - the company transferred her over from the UK) and we'll be managing about 50 people. Can't wait! I think I will see how I go with the new position, see how manageable it is, and then I've got the end of the year to decide if it's for me or not before my official Masters year starts. Hmm.. because I'm starting in this position, I'll need to get new clothes too. Therapy shopping in Melb, here I come! But ah... need money first! Hee!
