The Gods must have been pleased or something: yesterday, right after I posted about my frustration with Barclays all the pieces seemed to come together all of a sudden. All problems got solved one after the other and best of all, even the Barclays problem was finally solved. I thought it wasn’t real… yesterday wasn’t real, I must have been dreaming *pinch me!*
I’ve sent out an email Sunday evening, the first job application I sent to NL, which I found online. Closing date was ‘before May 4′: Monday morning basically. I was late and probably too late if you’d calculate in office hours but I didn’t want to let this opportunity pass so I explained why I was that late and sent it off 22.45 UK time (15 minutes before midnight NL time).
Tuesday I received a request for a digital portfolio. I worked all night and stayed up till 07.00 Wednesday morning, slept for four hours and got up again to finish a new designed, improved and updated-with-all-the-recent-stuff-I’ve-been-doing digital portfolio. I sent it off in the afternoon 14.00 NL time. That evening I had an appointment with a client to discuss new projects.
Yesterday morning I received a call from the company in Amsterdam about an interview. They explained the procedure and asked if I happened to be in NL within the next few weeks. I wasn’t but I wouldn’t mind booking a flight if I had to. Later that day they called again after meeting up to discuss this. They really wanted to see me so I booked flights ten minutes later…
Right after I received the long-awaited phone call from the local business banking manager who was extremely apologetic telling me that what happened should never have happened. They’ll reimburse all charges and she’d personally make sure the account is closed. A little voice in my head tells me that she must have been afraid to get it in the neck from her boss *hehe*.
Like I said in my other posts something is going on in the Universe… everything seems to go so amazingly smooth lately and it all turns out so incredibly positive and inspirational for me that it scares the hell out of me. Why? Coz it’s going too smooth *LOL* And this Capricorn doesn’t trust smooth transitions…which doesn’t necessarily mean that she can’t get used to it 
Flights are booked, days are planned and a place to stay is arranged so while I’ll be going to have an interview I’ll also be treating myself to a mini vacation while I can. I so deserve it.
Have a great weekend!
You’re not dreaming
You’ve weathered the storm of the last few years and I just know things will smooth out in the weeks ahead as things just drop in place.
Of course those long hours will pay off as well
Thanks for your confirmation; did you just pinch me? *outch, hehe*
Thank you for being there for me through all the storms :-*
And you’re right: it feels like things are dropping in place and it feels good! I hope the long hours will pay off
We’ll see… just keep your fingers crossed for me on that particular day please?
*thank you for being you!*
I am so glad to hear that everything is going the way you want to!
and I am so happy that you sent your documents even though the closing date for applications to be sent was some days ago. As I always (I hope always anyway) tell Red, it is always worth the try! (not only about job applications but almost everything in life) Sometimes they are not so strict about closing dates, especially when they haven’t found the right person.
That’s exactly how Red got a job, the ad asked for many years experience and many other things he didn’t have but I told him anyway to send his CV ’cause you don’t lose anything by sending it anyway. What’s the worst thing that can happen? that they don’t call you? I told Red we can live with that, can’t we?
Anyway, the other thing I wanted to say is that things are going so smooth perhaps from a cosmic/destiny point of view
because it’s the right thing to do at the right time and the universe conspires so you get what you want 
I also agree that the effort you put in the digital portfolio paid off 
so an important factor is also hard work and focusing your mind on what you want.
When there is a will there is a way
Have a lovely sunday,
Hi my friend, thank you so much for your kind words!!! And yes you’re right I had/have nothing to lose and I know what I deal with in NL as opposed to here which has caused nothing but frustrations. I so wish I’ll get this job just to show those who never believed me that it was never about me nor my skills, it was about not getting a foot in and not understanding a system, not being appreciated. Even if I won’t get it, it is still proof to me that I didn’t lose my touch and that I’m out there
I love your philosophy about the Universe, I absolutely love it… it explains exactly why I feel the way I do, thanks for your insight my friend, it’s so nice to hear those inspiring words!
It’s weird because I feel I’ve tried for three years to focus on what I want *I hear you though!* but in hindsight I guess I was still preparing
but yes you’re right *as usual ;)* and it feels good to hear those positive words 
Thanks for your visit Wen, have a beautiful sunny
day as well!
