Okhay….now I am annoyed BIG TIME!!!! I got a new adapter for my laptop and that’s screwed too!!! Why…why is this happening to me? I am soo *&*%£$*&!!!! I desparately want to update my blog about the happenings over the weekend and the bloody laptop keeps dying!!!
I am soo annoyed!!! Infact, I think I am the one to be blamed. I physically abused my laptop’s adapter by pulling it, pushing it and ocassionaly throwing it on the floor…now it is refusing to work. I ordered a new one…but some bloody problem with that aswell. So as of now, I am on the ‘daya-dakshinya’ my S’s laptop which is available only in the evenings 😦
I want to upload so many pics but not able to do so :(( Hopefully, I will get a new adopter very soon…
So…I am off to D for four days starting on monday and will be travelling to India on friday. I’ve been offered a 1 week placement 😀 Remember…..in my last post….I said I wasn’t sure if I should take it up or not cuz it was for 2 weeks and I’d have to cancel all my plans….spend lotsa money etc etc….the lab director offered a 1 week position today.
I know it is not for a long period but decided to take it up…..so that I could travel to India with a clear conscience.
I’ll try and update my blog when possible. It’s going to be an exciting week ahead 😀
Oh man whatta day!!! Why does this always happen to me? I mean really…can’t things just be straight-forward? Only when I thought it couldn’t get any worse…here comes another ‘jhatka’.
I’ve been looking for a job for quite some time now in a very competitive field. I tried really hard after my post-graduation and was also successful in getting interviews almost everytime I applied but then things that were not under my control were taking over…stuff like citizenship etc etc. But I still tried…never gave up until one day it dawned on me that it aint gonna get any better. So took a break for a while and a very interesting PhD project came through. I was never really interested in pursuing a PhD until unless the subject was something which would keep motivated for three very important years of my life. So decided to join the program in 2008 if funding comes through.
Today I got a call from a professor who interviwed me on a couple of occasions and offered a 2 week voluntary work placement in his lab. I need to start next week and it might go on till christmas. The catch is that I am leaving for India in exactly 8 days time. If I do accept his offer, I’ll have to move to another part of the country just for a couple of weeks and live all by myself spending alot money on bnb’s and stuff. S cannot be with me due to his prior commitments in India and we also have a holiday booked to kerala for our anniversary. The 14 days lab experience might not do me much good anyway ‘cuz organisations will definately employ people who’ve had atleast 4-6 months work experience.
So should I cancel all my plans and go to D and work in the lab for 2 weeks or should I go to India and spend time with my family? I know I need a break ‘cuz this career thing has been on my mind ever since I completed my MSc and it also managed to drive me crazy on a few occasions 😉 So a break will definately do me good. But then if I don’t sacrifice my happiness, will I get such opportunities again?
After contemplating for hours, I have decided to go to India and try and rejuvenate myself. Even though there is a teeny weeny thing in my head which says I should probably take up the 2 weeks position…my heart is telling me to go home for a while…get away from all this.
I am sure most of you would have faced similar situations…forced to take tough decisions at the crossroads of life! Some go for you…some go against you. I have taken my decision with full faith in God and hoping that hardwork and patience will pay. Please pray for me 🙂
Watching Lage Raho Munna Bhai now and probably top it up with Bommarillu. What a best way to cheer up 😀
I hope in the next six months I will look back at this post and laugh 🙂
I am planning to make Chicken Curry, Chintapandu Rasam, Pulao Rice and Vermicelli sweet today. Let’s see how it goes. If I really end up preparing all the dishes, I shall blog the recipes too…So keep an eye guys and gurls! 😀
