Running along the railway track for questions unanswered

Dress & bag:vintage
Belt:Mango
Accessories:random/flea finds
Shoes:URS
Umbrella:Random one from home


Such a relief today as I finally tendered my resignation letter at work and I will be leaving the current job in one month's time. Never felt like this before,just like throwing a heavy rock behind you down the cliff.I can't wait to know what are the upcoming things installed for me in the next few months. Life is so exciting at times and you just love it!

But other times,if doesn't feel as good. I went for an interview today and I did well. It was for a local vintage store. I know what you all are thinking,I should just say yes right away.
The problem is the lady boss is asking if I would stay in it as a long term job. As in like many years,that is something I cannot say yes right to. She explained to me nicely that its hard and waste of effort to train someone up and then the person just walks away like that. I really do need to think through on it,but still the job hunting continues as well.

These days,I want colors in my everyday outfit. Guess who stole the limelight today? The umbrella of course! The bright colors makes me feel like running in the fields and have a picnic right under the huge tree. So sorry that I've again been missing out on blogs and comments,trying to squeeze time for myself as well to do other things like heading to the flea market on Sunday. The green stone ring and floral bangle are among my flea finds!

Also,you'll realized that I actually blog 5 times a week now. It wouldn't be any lesser for certain as I give myself two days off from blogging a week. But of course,if I can I will surely post more than what I have set for myself.

I think it was great that you were honest about your long term prospects - many people would just lie in order to get the job.

Good luck with the search.

that sounds like so much fun to work in a vintage store, but i know what you mean about making a long term commitment, it's smart to think things through before agreeing to it.

Sweets and Hearts said...

valenciaaa!!

yay, i'm so happy that you're moving on from your current job. i know how much you don't like it. yeah, i'm having issues job-searching too, because it's hard to find a temporary/short-term job that you actually enjoy! so keep your head up, i'm sure you'll find something that suits you.

ahhhh i love that umbrella so much! i really want a colorful one (like the bubble one in that one post i did). i have a cute one, but i think i could use a cuter one.

can't wait to get my opi nail polish so i can try the new colors!

loooove you!

<3
