My day started off pretty well in spite of the heavy rain. Conne and CJ were in their usual jolly and “malambing” selves. Then, on my way to work, I received some good news on a career opportunity with an offer I found hard to refuse. The timing was impeccable since my renewable monthly consulting contract with my current employer just ended Monday this week. This makes the transition a bit easier since all I have to worry about now is ensuring that my turnover activities go without a hitch. And so, instead of auto-renewing my contract, I guess I’m off to a new workplace come Monday! Yikes, that was fast!
I also found out this morning that my blogs finally got over a three-day slump and earned me a few $’s via Google’s AdSense; well okay, maybe a few cents. Ha! (As an aside, my SEO skills are definitely improving since, for the past weeks, most of my targeted keywords have ranked high or are #1 on most SERPs. I guess that’s one advantage of having worked for DirectWithHotels). And with today’s mounting expenses, plus the fact that CJ’s birthday is fast approaching, earning a few bucks ain’t that bad and is, in fact, a welcome opportunity.
And after a relatively uneventful workday, the drive home was unusually quick and almost traffic-free, plus, dinner was great and really filling! Burp!
But, in an inevitable cliche-like fashion, all good things just had to end. I received word this evening bearing bad news on a case I was closely following. Oh well, suffice it to say, I believe I have now found the prime candidate for the worst lawyer there is, there was, and there ever will be – the ultimate “abogado de kampanilya.”
After mulling things over, I now firmly believe God has a plan for all of us. And I believe that the string of blessings I received earlier today more than compensated for today’s misfortune.
Oh well, you win some, you lose some. 🙂
Cheers!
