Irony

Not a rambling about Rachel….

It is such an irony that life is such as this……when you desperately yearn for something, it evades you….and when you have moved on and stopped needing that something….it comes and haunt you big time.

Once young and eager, I yearned to travel the world for work. Once young and eager, I yearned for work opportunities that demand my fullest attention. Alas….such yearning was futile…..THEN.

NOW….it all comes pouring onto my lap…..

The latest is a chance to travel to South Africa for a mini due diligence work. 12 days away from home. When I was young and eager, this would be a life opportunity that I will jump at…..Now….the first thing that comes into my mind is….12 DAYS AWAY?!?!?!

Well, I have rejected the offer…much to my bosses’ chagrin. But I know it’s the right move, although I did grieve (whoa….a big word) a bit….

Again….life is ironic....

Hehe it is true, life is really quite ironic like that! But at least it does mean that you are now more important to your company. It does feel good to be wanted!! :)
