Granted Aspiration

Posted on by

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!

Energy Rush

Posted on by

I feel so energised today I have no idea what’s going on, perhaps because I came to terms with certain things thanks to a friend who reminded me who I am, bless him. I received a sweet unexpected email from him while he is somewhere out there on the road and it so made me smile from ear to ear, such a wonderful surprise. I have some energy rush and it’s such a strong one that I could face going to my favourite love-hate store today to buy storage boxes for some clothes.

I have a major moth problem this year that needs to be solved as soon as possible so there is a plan of attack which I started last week and today 3/4 of the plan has been accomplished: cleaning out wardrobes, drawers, reorganising them, putting clothes that I don’t wear in bin bags so I can take them to the charity shops and putting all the moth repelling products where they belong. Some of my good woolen garments have already been damaged by the little buggers, hence my drive to nip this problem in the bud.

Tomorrow morning I’ll be getting up at 07.00 to go to my first car boot sale here in London which will be at the car park of the hospital where I was hospitalised almost a year ago. I’m on a treasure hunt for nice English porcelain teacups and saucers with bright colours, flowers and wonderful golden rims, the ones that only exist in the UK and in fairy tales. I want different kinds, colours and sizes because each day calls for a different angle or view, I’m not a plain woman and neither will be my teacups *hehe*.

This Sunday I will be meeting up with an old friend from the Lowlands. We have been friends for ages while I was a teenager but we lost contact ever since I moved to Amsterdam to study and live there. I haven’t seen her in a long long time. She will be here to film/make a documentary and I’m really looking forward to seeing her for a few hours. She’ll send me the details of where she’ll be staying tomorrow so we can make plans, she wanted to see me on Monday as well after a shoot somewhere North of London.

Work is good and I’ve finished a lot over the last few days. I’m pleased with myself for making such good progress. I do feel that at times when you need to solve a problem [design-wise, coding-wise] it’s best to put it away for a while and try again later. I did that with some php files that I needed to adjust. I had been staring at them for days but couldn’t come up with a solution so I worked on other things in the meantime until this morning. I solved the problem in half an hour, two problems actually… Taoism *hehe*

Well I’m off to enjoy my weekend, have a good one yourself!
