Updatery, again.

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.
