It's November!

The past two weeks had been all about the WOW TCG. The game had been great so far and, with the local UDE staff behing it, I can expect some good tournament support for it come 2007.

I am happy to say that I got through another mobilization period earlier this month without being activated. When I was at home on Saturday and saw the call signs flashing on TV for other units, I told myself, "It's gonna be my turn tomorrow." I was pretty sure they would push the button this time. Even the Area I/C called me to brief me on what to do a week before, which no Area I/C had ever done before in the past year or so. I stayed home on Sunday, waiting for the ominous phone call but the day passed peacefully and, by the time it was 5 pm, it was clear that the NS men of Singapore had once again averted another mobilization.

I went for another job interview a few weeks back. This time, it was for Ken Air, a travel agency. The boss spoke to me for like an hour and at the end of it, I felt that I was not at all suited for the job. They wanted either a sales promoter or some IT guy. Plus, he mentioned that my colleagues are 'unfriendly' (they are afraid you'll take over their job) and during the on-the-job training, they are not obligated to help you in any way since they are busy with their own work. Now that's what I called being frank. Back to the part-time secretarial job for me.

Time has flown pretty fast this year and it is now November already. I wouldn't have realized it if it weren't for some of the stores selling Christmas Trees and whatnot.
