I got the job

Ok...I got the job even after praying so hard this morning that they wouldn't accept me. Confusing isn't it? If I didn't want the job, kenapa gatal-gatal apply? Hah...the answer is actually I wanted to feel the interviewing atmosphere. I thought that maybe I could work for a few weeks and when I get a job that match my qualification, then I would just resign. But then, yesterday at the interview, the interviewer which happens to be the accountant said that she would prefer if I could work for at least 6 months and not for a couple of months. And there I was, speechless, I neither agree or argue with her words.

And when I came back home yesterday, I was thinking to myself, what the heck did I put myself into? What was I thinking? The salary is not even close to what I should get as a degree holder. Why was I so stupid when she asked me, what was my expectation on salary basis?And all I could say was I don't actually mind on the salary. I came here to gain experience and widen my knowledge. Oh yeah...sweet talk. And now, I just have to telan whatsoever.

When my neighbour, who actually recommended me the job, called this morning and asked me to call the manager himself to confirm whether I accept the job or not, I was actually reluctant. I had to told her the truth. So, she advised me to ask the manager himself whether I could just work for a short period of time incase I got a better offer and more connected to what I had studied.

So, there I was, calling the manager and told him what I actually wanted. Err...I didnt tell him bout the salary though. He said he doesnt mind if I wanted to gain experience even if that means that I would only be able to work for a couple of weeks or months.

So, I accepted the job and will be starting my very first job tomorrow......oh my goodness, I don't know what to expect. Am I gonna be accepted by other colleagues? Where am I gonna have my lunch? With who? Will I be able to perform well? There's so many questions in my head...I hope I'll survive my first day of work tomorrow....
