I declined the Shanghai offer today. Still wondering if it was the right decision. I think so. I just didn't have a good feeling about it. They were good though; just wished me luck with Singapore. I had been sitting looking at the single sheet of paper in front of me detailing numbers.. and more numbers. So many numbers. When you see a figure with so many zeros behind it, especially in Chinese RMB, it looks impressive. In my heart though, I really believe I made the right decision though. Was talking to the folks tonight, and Dad summed it up in one sentence: In this global financial crisis where the whole world is slowly picking itself up from, you get offered a huge increase to do your job, and you knock it back - now that's confidence.
Work's been tough. They let 15-20 ppl go yesterday. All made redundant. It's tough when you know good people are being let go. Our department and team is okay for the moment; though we're still under pressure to deliver more.
Not in a good state. I'm tired, and sick at the moment. So is Yuki, as a matter of fact. He went to Sang's place for a weekend and came back with an allergic reaction to something in the yard. Poor thing has been on meds and a cream to soothe his irritated skin the past week. Eek. I need a holiday.
