We meet up. I get to meet a former colleague and his aunt and my team mate was there. Over coffee we talked about the details and am overwhelmed by the confidence they have on my capabilities when I, myself am currently treading on shaky grounds on the aspect of what I can do. Its something simple and though I don’t have proper training, aside from the short term course I took way back, I think I can pull this off. To be honest am even excited. I mean I want to go home now, sit in front of my notebook and get on with it (obviously am typing this at work). Am I making this my escape goat from my present work? Probably, but the important thing is I got something challenging in my hands, I look forward to the date I could show them even just a draft of what am about to do. My 3 day vacation leave was disappointing at first glance but later on it gave me the opportunity to work on the many tasks I continually put off, even launched a new site and am quite excited about how things are gonna work later on. I got so much to do that am confused on which ones to begin first. People asked me how my vacation went and when I answered them I was just at home working with my notebook they’d give me that blank look and I pity them for pitying me. Right now, the very thing that’s keeping me sane is the life that I have established online.
Alright, so before I got this job am currently into which happens to be my first job ever, I went to a free training course somewhere here. It helped me a lot get the job I have now, I mean the trainers were really good, the training materials were extensive and up to date, the environment was so conducive to learning and the crowd were enthusiastic about learning, it was a training on conversation skills, culture and there was a bit of Sales Courses. It was a pleasant experience, matter of fact I met two of the close friends I now have there. Warren and Lil Gurl, was thankful for the experience really, though Warren’s not working in the company Lil Gurl and I are currently working but we still have that constant communication. So after all am blessed that day I attended the training, not only was it my ticket to this job it also was my ticket to a good friendship.
So we didn’t push through with the meeting last night, I texted my team mate and was told that they were going somewhere that night and to meet up tomorrow. I breathe a sigh of relief at least I get to put it off for another day, so I spent the whole night working on various opportunity tasks for this blog and for the others I have. And this is where I get high, I mean I love every minute of it, I think its where am good at. All throughout, it made me reconsider for the nth time to go full time, freelance, get on with the story I’ve been meaning to write but never had the guts to start and give up my other job. The job thats giving me something to look forward to every 15th and 30th.
*Sigh* … I know I shouldn’t, but the temptation is oh so strong. Grrr … would better get on with my day then … I’ll be back to work tonight … and can’t really say I look forward to it.
I’ve always wondered how philanthropic services work, now that I intend to start my own charity (gosh … can’t even afford my own car) but would like to get involved not in the financial aspect but in the services itself. The questions lingering in my mind are who runs it, who administers the planning and implementation, the analysis of cash being released, who deals with the taxes, reporting to the state and what not. Then I found out that there are companies out there, not banks mind you, that offer trust funds and philanthropy services. So these are the companies behind the big philanthropists to date, the people behind the paper works and the planning. Take for example Northern Trust, not only do they offer Trust and Fiduciary, they also offer estate settlement services, retirement and financial planning, investments and a whole lot more. So if your financially concerned and in need of advice on whether you should invest your money or not then check them out, have a little chit chat with their committed staff to get this sorted out.
