dilemma

Congratulations,

We are pleased to invite you for an assessment for the Executive Training Program (PEP) at T*B.

******

after 4 years of waiting, now they are calling me for an interview, apparently after just 3 weeks i am at a new place. how cow? resignation is either 3-months notice or 3-months salary.. and i am already sick of this place.. yes, it takes me less than a week to hate my job.. i am confused..


my masters project is going nowhere and i am forever stuck.. remember my previous entry about meeting the GM..? well, apparently uncle couldn't help.. mathematics is not his best interest.. "we are engineers, we just make use of the formulas.." correct, why do we have to bother about where on earth that formula comes from right? so, i was back at square one.. but being helpful nonetheless, he suggested another option.. he gave me another topic related to a research he and his staff are working on.. they were about to submit the project to the CEO this march so he asked, why don't i just join the team.. with my experience in pss/e (the software that they use) i can be a great addition to the team.. well, it does sound perfect right.. what more with the interview coming soon.. don't you think it is just like the best stepping stone one could ever have? the stone is right there in front of you and all you need to do is just jump.. with a very little force.. right? cool..


but, with that project.. i am required to be at TNB, bangsar at least one day a week.. for meeting and project report and etc.. uncle is even willing to get me a place of my own.. very kind and very2 helpful of him.. BUT, now come the biggest obstacle.. how do i allocate that one day a week? even though the project will only finish in 8 weeks.. but still, how do i find that time? the head of program @ my boss had already firmly informed me during my interview.. he doesn't want me to mess the working days with my masters project whatever.. he doesn't want me to take leaves or anything regarding my projects.. 


so, now.. i have a conflict of interest.. working or finishing my project? there is no way i am gonna extend my project just because i can't take one-day leave every week for merely 8 weeks.. and to simply let the opportunity slip away by not accepting uncle's offer.. it's like the biggest opportunity ok.. i would be a big dumbass if i reject that one.. 


and if let say, i nail the interview (amin).. the intake will be in march which is 2 months away from now.. if i don't resign now and wait until march to do so, i would have to pay a 3-months salary.. and if i do resign now, and nauzubillah, i fail the interview, then where should i find a new a job? back to being a housewife? sighhh..

which one is more important?
a) finish my masters project.. graduate and apply better job in the future but with no money along the way
b) extend my masters project (till God knows when) but have a steady job?

take your pick..

conflict indeed.

my 2 cents:
if i were u, i take the project n hantar resignation letter. since u can finished ur project, graduate and insyaAllah, ko bole trus continue working at TNB.

tapikan, i thot ko keje skarang x sampai sebulan pon kan? that means, u are still on probation periodkan?
usually kalau probation period, xpayah tunggu 3 bulan for resignation. sebulan notice je cukup. better check with your admin about this

chup, if u opt for doing project with tnb, they won't pay u ke?
