She hates that she never knows what the day holds for her. Sometimes, the surprise could be exciting while at other times, she just wishes she knew what to expect.
This time, she's expected to prepare an high profile presentation for her company board members and some government officials and as usual, with very tight time line. She wondered where to start from.
'How did I get here' she thought.
She had waited for that call with so much anxiety after the interview. The MD of the company had personally told her he will give her a call in 2 days time. It had been 2 days and the day was almost over, yet her phone hadn't rang. She kept staring at the phone with anxiety and willing it to ring. She couldn't concentrate on anything else. She stood up, looked at the phone and tried to pray but her mind wouldn't obey her commands to pray as it kept wondering back to the phone.
She checked the volume of the phone again and all missed calls to ensure that by some remote chances, she hadn't missed the call.
Just when she was certain the phone was never going to ring, she was startled from her sad mood. 'Hello' she said, trying to sound as calm as possible. This is Thomas, we had a chart yesterday, I'm pleased to offer you the position of Executive Assistant in our company. If you accept the job, your remuneration shall be as follows....of course, she barely heard what else he said. The monies quoted sounded like sweet music to her ears and all she could say was 'of course yes! I accept!.
She had breathed a sigh of relief and kept wandering if it was real. She finally believed it was and picked up her phone to call up everybody that mattered in her life.
Today, she still couldn't believe how excited she was and how she thought it was such a perfect job.
'Nicole', her boss' faint voice woke up from her reverie, 'I want some lunch'
