The Waiting Game Has Commenced

I was called for interview on 27 June and a second interview on 4 July. I've not heard from them since then. I think they are considering some others for this post, although I have not received any e-mail for rejecting me. I feel so lousy and useless. I know I am talented buy how else can I prove myself; I do not know.

How nice would it be to work in a nice organisation as compared to where I am working now, in a place where people are so cold towards one another. I feel so small and useless.

I am reading a fiction entitled, "Harvesting the Heart" by Jodi Picoult. It enables me to bring me to an imaginary world and this is an escape for me. I can't find any other way to escape from repeatedly questioning myself if I will be offered the job.

If I get this job, it will be a stepping stone to my success. My current company has undermined my potential despite showing them that I am capable of doing more. I know I have achieved what I had wanted in life. I just want to prove myself that I can do more than what they think I can do.

My parents will be disappointed if I did not get the job and I will be greatly disappointed too. I hate this waiting game.

When I walk alone outside, I see people going to work and think for myself, "these people must have done very well for thier interviews to secure a job of their liking" unlike me. I'm already old and people are hesitating to hire me I guess.

I am thinking of taking up the IELTS and a TESOL or TEFEL to pass my time. Courses after courses, but no one wants to hire me.

I just feel like screaming my heart out and crying till my tears have dried up. This is how much sad I have been all this while.

Beware of Bogus Men On Matrimonial Sites

I have been slowly accepting all that had happened to me in the past one month as a lesson learnt. "A", I found out is a bogus man, all out to cheat women. Luckily, I found this out early using my "head".

Things that gave it away :

a) The scanned copy of this contract was too good to be true. The company that was mentioned in the contract did not exist at all when I googled the company name. This was my first suspicion.
b) Wanted to learn how to drive a boat and buy a boat one day (too good to be true). I was not convinced and was least interested.
c) Wanted to buy a big house in Singapore (I am happy with what I possess here. I am not interested in big houses)- another too good to be true point that I have taken note of.
d) The signatory on the contract, seems to be working in Pakistan when the contract is from a company in Kuwait called KNPC.
e) I googled "male scammers" and found out a lot of information about men posting pictutres of someone else to lure lonely women. I also found out how to track IP Address from the e-mails of these men. I was shocked that I have been corresponding with someone from Lagos, Nigeria all this while, when "A" claims that he is from London.

How could I have been so stupid into believing that he was genuine? Anyway, a part of me was cautious all this while and it was easy to let go suddenly.

I have not corresponded with "A" since finding out that he is bogus. Wonder what sob stories he will come up to abscond money from innocent victims like myself. I'm not into this game. I call it quits and have been ignoring his mails and SMSes.

I hope the picture "A" uses to cheat (of a pleasant looking man and his son) will one day be found out and taken action by the authorities.
