Ya Allah Madad...

It was an extremely busy day at work. There are some changes underway and that requires a lot of shuffling around, meetings, trainings and so forth...Welcome to the Financial Industry!
So we were in training from 3-5 today. The guys in my team generally are quite the entertainers. They keep the atmosphere extremely fun and light. We're being trained for visa creditor insurance. Getting an insight on any Insurance product for the first time was quite interesting. We've to have the basic knowledge if put on spot instead of running around looking for basic information here and there. I really value all these training because I know it helps me become well-rounded in a lot of different aspects of the Bank. It's GOLD, I tell ya...GOLD! So during the training we stumbled upon "normal pregnancy." Of course, the basics being covered; who is eligible? Basic criteria and also get the ugly insides on the "fine prints." Actually it's not that bad as people think it is. I realize insurances are not meant to be for everyone. So the Marketing Manager, Camille, asked us, "What do you guys think is NOT considered as a NORMAL pregnancy?" One of the guys jumped right out and said "Artificial insemination!!!" I swear upon my Columbian neighbor, I haven't laughed this hard in WEEKS. This dude is Filipino and so they all have a thing for making fun of Filipinos, their accents and particularly making fun of the "house keepers." It is SO original that you can NOT get by without laughing. Often there are times when I'm just sitting on my desk and I hear someone knock on the wall real hard. *knock knock knock* I just turn around to see who it is and in the thickest Filipino accent I hear "House keepiiinng. I come in anyway? I come in anyway!" *dies laughing*
Moving right along, I am seriously considering a few things for the sake of my mental well-being and for the sake of moving on to the next phase in life. Geez, it feels like I've been here WAY too long. I got a chance to discuss it over with the hubby and he's perfectly fine with it. I am glad he backs up my thoughts and wishes with full support, Alhamdulillah. I'm just waiting to find a better opportunity at work so I can make this move, inshaAllah. It'll also means that I'll have a lot more responsibilities but I think I really really really really really am ready to move on to the next level in life and take things as I go along. I've never been scared to be faced with challenges, Alhamdulillah. Reality is, as human beings, we can aim to achieve these little goals in life, try and work hard towards them, pray and hope for the best. It's all up to Allah SWT from there. He's a plan in store for all of us. It's just a matter of time. It's a matter of time and we all know as we go along. I'm considering options throughout different cities in Ontario. We'll see where life takes us. Ya Allah ta'ala madad farmaiye hum sab ki - Ameen. I'm considering 2 different opportunities within RBC right now. One's based at a brand new branch opening in Ottawa and the other one is still in Mississauga. I'm confused. The one in Mississauga is definitely a far better position in terms of everything. I'll be closer to home and everyone will be happy. Period. On the contrary, I've always wanted to work in Ottawa because I know that's the capital and if I can't WORK at the parliament house, I can at least work CLOSE to it right? (A)
*smiles goofily* Really, I just love the whole feeling and aura that city projects. That's it. I eventually wanna make my way into the Department of Finance and that's been my dream, inshaAllah. Jo Allah ko manzoor hai. Like mama always says "Achi umeed rakho Allah se or acha milay ga, inshaAllah."
I'm SO glad it's Friday tomorrow. I really am. I'm really really hoping that I can go to bed early tonight, inshaAllah and wake up for Fajr. I wanna try and study for IFC after Fajr, drop Sunny off, print off some stuff from Sheridan, hand over the responsibility of getting the wedding pictures/video to Baba and get going for work. I really hope I can get it done. That'll be such a huge relief off my shoulders. I'm a LAZY ass and I've been procrastinating a lot of things. Really this is NO time to do it. As a matter of fact, I'm carrying a bit of resentment inside me. I say, I should use it to my advantage and take this chance to bounce right back up, look at the culprit in the eye and go "SAY WHAT?" haha I'm just playing. But really, I think I should use this time to pick the broken pieces up, try to mend my situation, make DUA and move on...
Ya Allah ta'ala, if you're listening...please shine some light down my way? Please just a bit? It's getting a bit dark here... just a bit dark...
I miss my husband so much tonight that it hurts. This song is completely and utterly dedicated to him.
