Technolust, jobhunts, and other guilty pleasures...

I have been offered the position of Administrative Officer in the Yong Siew Toh Music Conservatory. And I think I'll be offered a job teaching at Republic Polytechnic. Taa-daa! Life is suddenly brighter with the prospect of buying that lovely 10/15/30gig iPod looming closer and closer.

Object of desire:




Probably will be taking the Music Conservatory job, and very happily because:
1) The people seem very nice
2) It's a small school, so clear line of control/command
3) It's on familiar territory (though the con of this means arts canteen food for the next couple of years...)
4) I think I'm going to like it because the JD sounds quite fun and happening - marketing/PR, events organising
5) I met a couple of them informally for coffee on Tues, and the student affairs officer was wearing a colourful martinique shirt, and - get this - JEANS. Oh, if this job lets me wear jeans into the office... oh. my. (lions and tigers and bears!)

The only con - money. I don't know how much NUS will be offering until the Office of HR gets back to me. But if I get job satisfaction and am still excited about my job after a couple of months overall, then I think the money was well given-up. Praise God or what?! And this only after I gave up being anxious about finding the 'perfect job' and just told Him heck, I think there's a lesson about trust somewhere in here you're trying to teach me - and well, there it is. Maybe not the perfect job - what's the perfect job anyway? - but still - wah-hey!

In more other happy news...

I was in Mango today, and bought a very very very pretty shirt... for $35. Head rush! I can't stop smiling. Mainly green, has nice patterns on it, but of course, the fun thing is the price tag. And the size tag.

Still more shi...stuff

Well worth reading -- the Onion parodies workplace productivity and the Internet by "reporting" how a 48-hour Internet outage plunged the nation into productivity. LINK HERE
