"It was a mistake"

"It was a mistake" said my mom referring to my old work. I didn't see it that way though, I had fun while I was there but she was right. I was so excited to work back then and when I was interviewed and the boss oriented me with the organization and the work will be doing I got so excited and I said yes. I didn't know that my parents especially my mom was against it. She didn't tell me. It's been four months since I last went there and still I'm having a hard looking (or waiting) for another job. She keeps on saying til today "You working there was a complete mistake. We (she and my dad) didn't know that you accepted that job already, you should've waited" but it was too late.

I didn't feel that it was a job. I feel that it was more of an internship because of the environment and how fun it was working with my officematee besides where on earth will you find a department that is filled with UP grads and within your age range. We had a blast! It was more of a party for me than real work. I wished it lasted longer but I think God has his way of saying "Enough is Enough".

Thankfully though I still have communication with my former officemates and we can party everytime we want, that is if we have the money to partey!

Funny thing also how my future boss (since I'm not yet officially hired) calls me whenever I feel down and want to give up and look for another job. But she has the right timing everytime! She never fails to call me, or I'll call her, every week and I must say every week she has a good news for me. Thank God.

Yeah, I guess it was a mistake to accept a job without thinking long term but it was a mistake that I learned and gained a lot. It was a beautiful mistake. It was a lesson learned.

As the saying goes, making a mistake without correcting the it is like making another mistake. We should all learn from our own mistakes.
