serendipity
I am grateful for what I am. For what I have. Saying that, I need to get a new job.
For me it is about growth. I have been here too long. I choose to experience something different. It is time. However, I am just a little scared of leaving this one now. I guess with me it has to do with the fear of the unknown; which I'm not always good at facing... it has been known to cripple me... it is my pejorative... arghhhhh!
Don't get me wrong. Most of the time I do believe in me but at the moment I’m thinking ‘stay a while longer’. .. *Sigh*... Some of my rationale has to do with the uncertainty of the credit crunch... but part of me is like ‘who cares get a job back in Lagos’.
So in an effort to motivate myself, I am going to motivate others first... but in a completely different sector... simply bcos I can’t have you guys taking all the good jobs in engineering before I get back to Nigeria... lol
I'm talking... Finance

Thanks for this...I'll forward this to anyone I come across who's searching...
No 2
I may just be on the plane to naija
i know how scary it is to look for a new job, its all to do with our comfort zone. I am starting a new job in two weeks time, better pay and conditions and all but am still apprehensive.
Yeah, a lot of pple including me, let the fear of the unknown keep them at places they longer have any business being in. Good luck Job hunting.
Good of you to advertise those openings Shubby.
Well done.
Do take the plunge quickly though and come back!
PS. Serendipity has indded found me on this post :)
The three princes of Serendip (now Sri Lanka), travel the world and with unexpected good fortune and their own powers of reasoning solve problems and get out of jams.
Word serendipity coined by Horace Walpole based on the above Persian fable.

@baroque – it’s like you knifed me in the chest with that word… here was me thinking that my baby B had come to whisper sweet nothings in my ear so I would release that which has come to belong to me…that’s it… I am toying with you always :-P

@shonavixen - you are right but I will get off my arse and actually do it this time
@smaragd – Hey sweetie… Mum's bday plans are all sorted. thanks. We are hoping she will like what we've planned.
It is all still a surprise...all her attempts to find out from us or from family that we have colluded with in Nigeria have been thwarted... and it is driving her nuts...lol
Bungee what? not me o! heard too many stories about dislocations and eyes popping out from their sockets during the jump…. no way.
Skydive is in November :- )
@naapali - is there nothing you do not know?!
The 3 princes of serendip… who make discoveries by accident and sagacity… but didn’t napoleon once say ‘there is no such thing as accident; it is fate misnamed’
p.s
Finance ke? That means me looking after other people's money...i don't do looking after my own well...i see handbags, shoes, gold jewellery and gems stones...i loose my head… *in gollum's voice* 'these are my precious'… lol
