My New Form of Procrastination

To avoid confusion to others, and also to not contaminate my previous blogs at LJ, I chose to take my procrastination one step further to another blog account. This account will only be authorized access to a handful of people and suspicious souls can forget keeping track of my journey in this third dimension.

Nothing much to blog for now, having a lazy weekend right now, that's for sure.

As for work, it is getting more frustrating as now my colleagues are beginning to throw me at the deep end and expecting me to sync or swim..hmmm..personally, I don't think the way they are chucking responsibilities on me is a good way to sync or swim - I'm beginning to dislike working there, honestly. I am fussy, but this country is not the place for me to seek employment.

I may not be going to London anymore to pursue that double job offers, because the work permit process is really slowing down everything, when I have such limited time. WS Brussels are looking into a one month work placement for me, and they are more efficient and willing to sponsor me, so this lady who is the regional HR, Marie, is trying to help me with immigration stuff. I am optimisitc about Brussels, but still, unsure. I am devastated that the Home Office in London are taking their own sweet time when I have only very limited time to work there. Dang it!

If nothing in Europe go as planned, then I will seek employment from Reuters, or AFP(leading international newswires) or seek a chance from Leo Burnett(again!) or the local expat magazine. Now that would be interesting, wouldn't it?

Shermian, Esther and I had a food galore the whole week. Dined at the most expensive eateries, when we are actually not working properly yet, we went to Hard Rock Cafe, Bier Keller(the best German bar I've been, Jaegermeister rules!) , Madam Kwan's(best nasi lemak and laksa) and all these crazy places which offers good food at a very very pricey price..lol..

Esther has left, Shermian is leaving...and this leaves me with Evy. It's gonna be a boring farewell.
