Something nice and unexpected made my ego swell today: Speed Magazine’s editor in chief Manny de los Reyes who I knew through my bf (he’s a graphic artist of Speed) and whom I exchanged several smiles and e-mails with was asking if I was happy with my current job. When told that I was currently on the lookout for a more interesting job, Sir Manny asked if I wanted to apply in their company, supposedly hinting at pirating me. (Haha. That’s just wishful thinking.) Anyway, he was asking if I’d be interested to work for their other magazine, Action & Fitness, because its EA was resigning. Since their company has a strange (really strange) rule of not accepting couples, Sir Manny said he’d talk to their publisher about the matter if I’m interested in the position.
Hmmm . . . That got me thinking until now. One, because I’ve been wanting to work in a lifestyle magazine since I graduated; two, because I want to get out of my job ASAP; three, because working at Airo meant I’d be with Sho every single day (which also means free transpo going home every day); and four, because the job promises monthly travel benefits and lots of seminars and events to attend.
Hmmm . . . Could this be the non-safe job I’ve been waiting for? Could this be my chance to finally assume a position that doesn’t entail rotting out in an office cubicle?
I’m still thinking. Still thinking . . .
