connecting the dots

Steve Jobs said it’s important to have faith that the dots of one’s life will connect down the road though the journey sometimes do not show a clear path. For some time, it was what was keeping me faithful, faith itself. Faith in God, faith in myself, faith in some forces of nature that probably, hopefully, something better is coming my way. Faith that the dots are connected!

For the longest time, I’ve been itching to leave my graveyard shift job. I totally love everything about my job. I’ve got the best boss. I love what I’m doing. I have greatest friends in the office! These three are already on the higher scale of Maslow’s hierarchy… hehe. Yadayada. The list of reasons to stay is endless.  I liked almost  everything about it but the schedule. So I’ve been in semi-active jobsearch for some time but the dizizit job just never came. I didn’t know if I was just too underqualified or my MBA schedule was such a liability. To console myself, I would just say that it was perhaps that of the latter reason but nevertheless there were those inferiority complex periods when you just couldn’t help but lose the faith in yourself.

Come registration time, I only enrolled 2 subject because of my workload plus part of me was hoping that I could transfer to a new job requiring me to adjust in my new workplace.

Then the good news came! My boss wants to keep me whatever it takes. I’m in heaven! So to make the longer story just long enough: I’m now working in flexible normal hours in a function I like, for my boss that I uber-love, in an environment I need not adjust. It’s like everything better than what I wanted. God has planned something grander for me. I guess He’s just training me with the virtue of patience!

So that connects the dot why I got so frustrated that first day-job offer was for a function I don’t much like. That connects the dot why my pekner left me. That connects the dot why I did not get into the company I suuuper like. That explains!

To my friends who never lost faith in me, who prayed for me, who were simply there for me during the low times, thank you so much! To my roommates Maui and Mica, to my MBA supah-buddies Urven and Anj (specially Anj for that spontaneous dine-out at Morato), to the Tin and Gabe, and to my ever-understanding konsintidor mother,  thank you so much! Secretive na ko sa lagay na yan!
