I sat down for my first Tuesday work. I opened my ODesk Team application, signed in, and waited for my team to become visible.
I wondered why my team was still invisible after a few minutes. The application even said that it might be so because I do not belong to any roster.
That’s weird. I have an online job. That means I have a team, right?
I got the answer when I opened my ODesk account.
Well, this is embarrassing. But this blog is about my life as I become a full-time work-at-home geek, so I’ll spill the beans.
My employer ended my contract; she said it was not working out. She’s going to pay me on what I have worked for.
I told you I got the job in a whirlwind. Too bad I lost it in a whirlwind, too.
It’s sad. I’m going to lie if I tell you it did not hurt a bit.
It was like you know you have a Valentine’s Day date, only to find out the last-minute that you got dumped.
Ouch.
But a few minutes after, I breathed slowly, then smiled.
Well, first, I was happy for the chance to have work with the employer. That was my first ODesk work, and she gave me a chance. She gave me a good feedback on my work.
Second, I also learned that I need to work faster to keep up with work. I know I am a fast worker as a full-time employee in the companies where I worked. I need a little more re-training on how to work more fast for online jobs.
So I decided to move forward from the loss. Heck, I even provided words of encouragement to others who gave their time to post their comments in my earlier post (thank you, guys!), minutes after learning I lost the gig (and I started looking for jobs again).
Still, I’m going to lie if I tell you that it did not hurt a bit.
I just chose to carry on and take the lessons with me because I believe I will be able to get a better gig.
I thank God I have become matured enough to always see the good things. I have also realized that situations like this remind me to be humble yet still be a source of encouragement for others.
So this is how it feels to have a heart-broken on Valentine’s Day.
Nah, there are still a lot to date out there.
Inasmuch as there are still a lot employers online who’ll get me.
More Jobs in Odesk to come..:D
Thanks, pinoyvaessentials. God bless you!
It’s just okay Ann. Maybe there’s another job waiting which is best for you. Good luck to all of us. I’m also applying jobs now in odesk.
Thanks, vaworkforme. Well, as they say, when God closes a door, He opens a window. Well, maybe even another door. Let’s never give up on hope because this is for our best life ever! God bless!
