Some part of me want to be really whimsical and talk about the law of attraction and positive "vibes" because that's supposed how millennials communicate these days. This week has just whisk away like how the wind in Melbourne likes to behave. I COULD HARDLY OPEN MY EYES.

On Sunday night, I told myself it's going to be a normal week, and the only "big" event was the release of my CFA results on Tuesday at 11pm AEST and a monthly review with my manager. Other than that, IT WAS FINE. At least I thought it would be.

Typing this all out on Sunday night and I still think the CFAI made a mistake on my results because this girl here did it. I passed level one. I passed it with 41% other people. Which is the lowest it has been since 2013. I did it? Well I supposed so.



30 minutes before that, I felt this glow inside of me while writing a letter to my manager for our anniversary. Romantic I know. I just find handwritten notes so sacred these days. No one write anymore. I enjoy matching my pens and paper and ink, but that would be a story for another day.
I texted my little circle, and the two that I wanted some sort of validation from, didn't quite feel validating. One was my mother. I buzzed downstairs, laughed hysterically and said "remember the CFA? I passed!!" And she said, "are you going to do level two?" in the most lame tone. Here I was, half tearing, half laughing trying to figure out what has just happened. The other person is someone quite special, we are going to call him G. He SAID THE EXACT SAME THING. Well I don't feel like doing level 2 right now. *slumps shoulders and went back to my room*

The next day, NAB called and asked if I would like to come in for a chat with the Corporate Actions team. I was really cool about it and replied with "Ya sure, send me the JD". But honestly, where were all these offers when I was actually job hunting. I really hope she actually researched me enough to know that I am quite settled where I am and doing stuff within my team. In a way it's good as there is no pressure to land this role. I am going to take the opportunity to sniff stuff out and see what their directions are, after all, I am a shareholder. *winks*

My review was on the next day, but we were rudely interrupted by the Sydney team because they couldn't run a report and needed us to do it. I am annoyed because these would have been easily done if they had some skills with a computer, and if they don't, there should be an IT team in Sydney to assist them in doing so. Capeesh?

Anyways, I am having this pain on my right hip, I took a walk to get the blood flowing and everything but it still hurts. I am going to sign off, take a shower and head to bed.


I am just another human, right?
