Tails’ Blography

I havent posted in while, as some of my readers might have noticed (that is, if you havent left for greener blogs yet!). I’m not too sure why but I havent felt like blogging for some time now. I think I blogged about this a little while ago. I think maybe I put too much thought into my blogging, so from now on, my posts will probably be shorter and more concise. Actually, I blabber a lot, so I doubt it.

My latest news is that I resigned from my position at ASUS. The logistics of the position just didnt fit in with me. I wasnt too fond of working alone, and I think they need someone with a more business-orientated mind, rather than a hands on person like I am.

They were surprised when I resigned, but they were understanding. I felt bad because I was supposed to fly up to JHB this coming Tues, and plane tickets had already been booked, but I felt I needed to give them the option if they wanted me to come to JHB knowing I will be resigning afterwards or not. They chose for me not to come through, which I was relieved about (news follows about Wormy). I didnt want to go to JHB, do all this planning and strategising only to come back to CT and resign. That would’ve wasted everyone’s time. I do feel a lot lighter, though, as this job had started affecting other areas of my life. Anyway, now they’re on the lookout for someone new for Cape Town which I’ll be helping them with as much as I can until my last day on the 30th.

Gonna miss the bf who is going to JHB for rAge this year again

Some more news (and why I am relieved about not going to JHB) is about Wormy. Edit: after writing the Wormy-story, I felt it needed its own post, so click here for that post.

So happy days for me! I got news today that I’ve been waiting on for almost a month now…I got a new JOB!

I got a job with Asus as Channel Manager in Cape Town! I will be the face of Asus in this region, trying to intergrate it into the market a little more, seeing what and dealing with problems people (read: shops) have, sending promotional material to stores, etc.

I start in January with a week’s training in JHB which is going to be a huge step for me to do alone. No one else that I know will be with me, and I’ll be meeting everyone for the first time. Not sure where I’m staying, they said if I dont have anyone to stay with in JHB they’ll make a plan, but I dont know if that means a B&B or one of their work people….however, would I be comfortable going to a stranger’s house to stay haha probably not, so I’m probably being silly and they’ll organise a B&B. But then I’ll be all alone at night le sigh.

But, 2010 comes with a bigger salary, more responsibility, and a new routine. I think I’m ready for it! Hell, I’ll give it all I have! Yay for me!! However, it is bittersweet ‘cos I love working for my dad and the hours are flexable and the days are easy…and he needs me. So I made this decision with a heavy heart, but he’s been nothing but extra supportive, and I love him so much for that. And of course I’ll try help where I can!

In other, though somewhat old news, I mentioned before that my car was dented and I was fighting with this guy to pay for it (since he reversed into me)…well, he’s FINALLY claiming on his insurance, a year down the line (after ignoring all my lawyer’s letters and summons, etc)!! But, not a moment too soon ‘cos next year in March I’ll be in the market for a new car and needing to sell mine. I’ll be very sad to see ol’ Bluebetty go, cos she’s been good to me, but I’ll be looking at a new (read: slightly secondhand) Getz or Yaris or something.

Now I just need to see if I’ve been accepted into Unisa for my studies! What a year 2010 will be!
