Will I get fired on Monday?

31 July 2009

you are firedOK, these past couple of days have been quite eventful…. As I have previously stated I was (and still am) seriously thinking about leaving my current job. On Wednesday I had a meeting with my TL to discuss this. During this meeting he said that “we could part ways” and if it came down to this he wouldn’t be able to help me, because he didn’t see much activity on my part.  Now I can’t say this surprised me, it is true that for the past couple (or more) months I haven’t been the most productive person in the company…. What can I say, I don’t get a tasks, I am left to find work on my own which after 2.5 years working with the same sites and same products is a bit difficult. And when I told him that I was seriously thinking of leaving his response was “That may be the best course of action”

On Thursday (yesterday) I had an interview regarding a job, which went well, but I am not the perfect candidate, so I really doubt I will get the spot. Anyway after the interview I was thinking of talking to the HR and give them my notice. But when I went in the office I found out that my TL, the same person who said we may part ways, resigned. The management in Ireland locked our AdWords accounts without a notice, because they were planning a change, and that was the final step which pushed him over the edge. What can I say, I can’t blame him. Anyway, because of his sudden resignation I decided I will wait until the meeting with the new management in August and decide what to do then. Maybe there will be some changes which will keep me in the company, or maybe not. And besides – I still don’t have another job….

And then there is today. I got a mail from the HR who wanted to have a meeting with me. Now this can’t be a good sign given the conversation I had with my, at the time still active, supervisor. But then there is this other e-mail from one of the managers who is giving me the logins to another AdWords account, asking me to take it over… meaning more work (which is a good thinh considering I have no idea how to fully ocupy my time.)

So will I be “released” on Monday? Maybe, probably, most  likely… Stay tuned to find out if I will get the pink slip…

What have I been up to

28 July 2009

I haven’t written anything in a while, something I was reminded a couple of times. To be honest I was a bit surprised to find out someone actually cares if I write or not, so a big “thanks for caring” to them (you know who you are).

So what have I been up to these past few weeks…. Well, I went kayaking for a couple of days. Rowing all day, easting, drinking and singing around the campfire at nigh, sleeping under the night sky- it was really great. I swear I have never seen such a beautiful night sky as I did those days. I will definitely do that again.

A couple of weeks back we celebrated the birthday of one of my friends at out place in Balchik. I was thinking to get my friends together for a weekned there when I got the call from him, inviting me to his BD, so I offered him to do it there instead. Barbecue, beer, nice music and friends all around – it was fun. One thing surprised me though – when it was all over there were still a couple of beers left, which is so NOT like us. Ohh, well, I guess I should throw an after party one of these days.

For the past few weeks I have been seriously thinking of leaving my job…. I don’t know I am not doing anything there, just wasting my and their time and it has started to get on my nerves. I always irritated and angry at myself for not doing anything with my life… I need a change…. Problem is that I don’t have another job, so quitting right now is not the smartest move I could make which irritates me even more… I was accepted in an affiliate network today, which is great, but I have almost no experience in Affiliate marketing and I can’t possibly hope to earn a living with just that. I also have a couple of projects in mind  but still…

Anyway I will think of something, I just hope I will make the right decision…
