HIATUS but Im back.. For a short visit!

Just dropped by my blog today and saw a comment by Scrumpilicious saying 'where are you?' that compelled me to go 'awww' and log on to write a new post!

I've been ever so busy this past month, its actually quite manic. My job hunt was fruitful and I started a new job at the beginning of the month, amidst which Ive gotta study for an exam as well! So its pretty crazy!! Especially since I'm used to lazy days in front of the TV, checking out Kottu and ranting about my various topics!

I haven't kept much tabs on whats been happening in Sri Lanka this past month - since we are all still standing (I hope), Im guessing it doesnt amount to much. It was sad to see President Wijetunga pass away - he was actually my fave President - possibly bc he had such a short stint that he couldnt really create any chaos anyway! Oh and of course, I may have changed my viewpoint on SWRD Bandaranaike as the be all and end all of this chaotic situation in the country. I learnt that he died because he passed the Tamil Bill and of course the peg now passes to the Buddhist monks and Wimala Wijewardene for been utter dicks. (Sorry - I'm Buddhist too before anyone gets offended and starts yelling at me!)

I've been feeling very flightfooted and I'm dying to go back to London or even visit somewhere new like Egypt but the finances are in a terrible situation at the moment. So no such thing is gonna happen!

Thats it from me,

So what's new with you?

Work Work Work Hunt for Work

10,000 B.C.

Caveman is hungry, wants to eat, runs after wildboar, catches it, eats it.

2008 A.D

I am hungry, I must attend multiple interviews, find a job, negotiate a salary, work my ass off, get the salary, purchase food items with salary, eat it.


Who says development was a good thing?!

Just so fed up of attending interviews! Finally reached final round and received an offer but the salary is not upto par with what I was expecting so do I go back in there, conduct more and more and more interviews till I finally get something with the proper salary range or just say 'FUCK IT.. and take this? I have debt to pay off so its not like I'm being greedy or anything.

I ranted about this a month ago or so and I shall rant about it again.

Its all bullshit. This whole exchange item for money, or service for money etc etc has evolved erratically and is perhaps one of the main causes behind a lot of things happening today! Greed is such a core attribute in all economies and nations. I mean look at our esteemed leader for one.

Ok it was a minor rant and its over.

If I didn't have to worry about money and financing mine, my future children and my parents futures, I would pretty much become a doctor. or a teacher. Noble professions. Dispense my wisdom unto others. Without cost.

Anyway, what would you be?
