I met the HR person of AIG yesterday and on the way back, the agent called to ensure I had in fact met her. Later that afternoon, another agent called about an interview with another firm, Mills Oakley. Seeing that I have just got the offer from AIG more or less finalised, I would have said no but for an incident involving Karina, someone we know from church, about 2 weeks ago. After a prayer meeting 2 Wednesdays ago, she told me she had a dream that I got a job in Oakleigh. I told her I had not applied for any jobs there and she said it wasnt the place Oakleigh necessarily; the dream just had the work Oakleigh in it. So when I got that call yesterday, I had to say yes to the interview, just to see if there was anything to Karina’s dream. So, I’m heading for that one later today. Meanwhile, the Asian firm out here in Doncaster/Springvale also called yesterday. He has now decided he cant match what I had asked for, saying it would disrupt the feelings of the other lawyers in the firm. Yet, he sounded like he was in desperate need for someone to come in to alleviate some work pressure. So, I said I would come in to help him out for the time being and see what happens. If he cannot pay me what he said he would, why would I stay with him when I have alternatives? No brainer, really. Anyway, since the AIG process would take some time, I’d just go in to help this guy out, initially at his Springvale office. I’d go in tomorrow for that.

I was in the city this morning too, for the interview for my citizenship application. Everything went well, except they needed to sight kiddo’s passport and birth certificate and I had not brought it with me. So before I visited Mills Oakley in William Street, I’d drop in at Spring Street again to let the Immigration people see kiddo’s documents. Meanwhile, I met with Alex and Ronald Kang in Balwyn for lunch and from there, I took a tram to the city.
