The start of 2012 hasn’t been kind to me. It feels vaguely familiar to 2011, which I would rather not repeat. This past month week has been volleying around my feeling bad about my current situation to my excitement for my upcoming Singapore trip. If I were to divide it though, more than half the week was spent on the former rather than the latter. Today my outlook’s starting to look up. Probably ‘cause of my excitement. This is me trying to keep my feelings in check.

But while the feeling lasts-I guess I shouldn’t beat myself up about not getting a call back from that company I was interested in working in. Looking back at the interview, I probably looked mediocre compared to their standards. I mean, a graphic designer with no online portfolio? Just sketchbooks and printouts. Granted, that’s what some of the other applicants did-I don’t think we I exactly stood out. I’m pretty sure that opportunity’s gone. On to the next one!-which to be honest, takes a while. I get a lot of calls for jobs I could do (just to earn) and jobs that I want-which is a rarity. So from now ‘till that time, I’ll work on my ‘portfolio’. If by mid-year nothing bites, I guess I’ll settle for just a job. Sounds like a plan? Hopefully this optimistic feeling lasts or that I remember this feeling during my bad days.
