So, I didn't get the job at the local polytechnic. I threw out more CVs and yet another local polytechnic has picked one up.

I don't know. The ministry seems leery and downright punitive of people who strayed from their career tracks (or broke bonds or something). Singapore isn't a compassionate country and second chances... what are second chances? [Note: A country that needs a law for foreign domestic helpers to get a day off speaks a lot of said country]

Still writing, re-worked a pitch. Moving into the planning of print version of Wolf At The Door.

I posted more stuff on A Wolf's Tale, including a soundtrack for Rider.

And oh yes, Ostara is round the corner!

Well here's to hoping you get it this time! My bff had to try ages and ages before she actually got a place with a poly.

Singapore's... special. I'm not sure that any other country is just as forgiving about doing things in a non-conventional way either - jobs in Australia and NZ in my area seem pretty specific and since I'm just a LITTLE out of their area they're not thaat keen either.

In Singapore, at least, if you have a degree you CAN get a job.

Just not necessarily in you area. They just want you to have 'leadership' qualities.

Yeah, that's how it is over here. And I think the whole day off for domestic helpers saga is just stupid. Apparently, people think helpers = robots and not humans.

Hope you get a job ASAP.

some people think that giving domestic helpers a day off is a privilege, not a right. And that maids have no rights to go off and talk to friends or socialize or have boyfriends because they might get pregnant.

I guess it must be because maids are Really That Dumb.

>.< just... argh.

Some peopel don't deserve domestic helpers.
