Why did I leave Symphony

For all of you out there who can't speak Serbian...

Since I came to the company I told Prem if he ever leaves me in front of Jack all alone I will leave the company... back then it was a joke and I didn't think I will ever end up in that position. :) Prem was always a wall behind whom I hide from Jack. Never liked the guy even he was always super nice to me. There was something about him that was bothering me but I couldn't explain what. The fact that he was unpredictable showed to be true in number of occasions.

I never though I will be promoted that fast and handling so much work...

Anyhow, Prem left and I ended up being all alone in front of Jack... and after 2 years Jack gave me nothing but disbelieve. I fixed social insurance calculation for client which was broken and wrong for 2 years back and he was like "how did you do it, what did you do there, who did you ask this, who did you ask that..." it was like I never done anything for the company and whatever I did everything was wrong even at the end it turned out to be completely correct and client came out quite happy with their April and May payroll.

Before Prem left, Jack offered me to transfer to London since I didn't like Malaysia that much... when Prem left that thing went up like thin air. After all of my persuations and discussions with him he said OK for London. We signed new contract for London and after my holidays I supposed to go to London and work from there as technical consultant and focus on support for a while more. When I left for holiday he send me this email with list of 60 CR's, SCR's and issues and he said it is all pending on me and he wants me to come back to KL since I didn't do this stuff, I didn't do transition (and there was no one to do transition to) and then after I finish those stuff we will discuss London all over again (perhaps). When I went trough the list, 4 of these CR's and SCRs were pending on me. Most of them were pending for Ops for testing since my team done everything. My team is damn hardworking and I would give my life for those kids.

So... that was the last drop... I didn't want to come back to KL because I knew London will never happen and KL sucks big-time and I already picked up all my stuff and terminated my apartment agreement in KL.

I didn't plan for this to happen but working with J&J is heavy as hell and I felt everything what I did in past 2 years was like nothing...I can't work without trust and I can't work when someone accuses me not to do my work. 

So... I'm sorry... I miss my job, I miss my team, I miss all of you guys because we worked so nice in past 2 years but world is small, we will meet again.

Moving to Kuala Lumpur... too fast or just on time?

Never before I gave much thoughts about Chinese New Year celebration nor what does it mean and what kind of meaning has that thing to Chinese people or people around them. It was always great deal of mystery to me and I was only reading about it in news papers and never gave it a much attention. This year the celebration of Chinese New Year began on the day when everything good started happening to me.
Let me give you a story about that...
I was in Bali, minding my own business since University didn't give much shit teaching us so I didn't give much shit going there. I had too much work to do for Hostels.st and I was enjoying staying in Jelena's balcony where the conditions for work were fabulous. Jelena and me spend some time searching for a job and suddenly it comes to my mind ( o glory! ) that maybe, just maybe I should start searching for a job in Indonesia. It was a bit strange that I sent so many CV's and noone ever called me for interview or asked questions. Of course, that was because I was always applying for jobs in Malaysia and it seems like I'm not living there. So, I just applied for a job in Surabaya and in couple of minutes they wanted me in their company and they offered something like 8.5 mil Rp which is excellent sallary for Indonesians but not for someone who has family and friends on other part of the world. The other thing was that they wanted me to sign contract for 3 years and I should live in Jakarta. So, the answer was simple enough "NO, Thank you". It was something about Jakarta that I didn't want to know and for sure I didn't want to live there.
So, Jelena and me had a guest for couple of days in Bali. met Zoran trough Serbiatravelers club and he came to Bali for 3 days to meet me and to see Bali. So we had fun going around the island and talking and laughing around with him. After that, he went to Kuala Lumpur and met Borjan. He told Borjan that he had fun with us, that he had great time, how nice girls we are and Borjan immediately wanted to meet us so he asked us to come to KL to stay with him for some time and try to look for a job or just have loads of parties with him... After here and there ... we said yes. So, we started preparing our exit permits for KL and just this funny morning, when I came back to Surabaya and when my motorbike just broke down (so, there are bad things too) I got an email from Borjan saying "hey girls, check this out, it might work out for you"
Next thing you know I was seding my CV to this company, got reply, sheduled interview, sheduled 2nd interview, got a job and now I need to pack...
The thing is, I believe 7 months of Surabaya was quite enough and I needed to escape... for good... but I need to leave piccolina all alone here and that is complete shit... but there is no more use of staying in Sby... I got what I wanted
