The Saga Continues

Ok, so today I imported my blog into Facebook, so if you're my friend on FB you can read there but you can also continue to visit the blog or receive an RSS feed if that's what you're more comfortable with. No qualms.

Anyway, for those of you who have been reading oveer the last few weeks you'll know that I applied for a job as an Air Traffic Controller and after some psychometric testing and a follow up interview I was accepted. After that things started going pear shaped though...

I went to see the doctor for a medical exam and I told him that I'd been on anti depressants in the last 2 months. I had a feeling that it would be a problem but decided to tell the truth, and it turns out it was a problem. I had to go to my psychiatrist, Eugene, and he gave me a report which I could only give to the doctor on Monday (today).

This, however, was a problem because the documentation needed to be in Joburg by Friday. Not great.

After getting the report to the doctor this morning I took the relevant information to the airport, only to find that the lady I had been dealing with is currently on leave for two weeks. And the new lady wasn't sure what to say to me, but I suspected she knew something I didn't.

Later that day I contacted the office again and it turns out that the doctor had spoken to the recruitment office in Joburg and they had decided that they want to employ me but because of the medication it can only be in June.

So I will be working as an Air Traffic Controller, but will only start training in June.

At the moment I am sad because I wanted to start working soon, but also relieved because I finally have an answer. The truth is that ever since I started the application process things have felt very disorganised, and as a result I have been very reserved and have felt uneasy about the process. When the doctor told me that the medication was going to be a problem I sort of knew that I would only be going in June, but decided to do my best and see what happened.

I'm happy to be able to say that I've done my best and things may not have worked out the way I was hoping they would, but such is life.

I believe that very few people are called to some massive task, and in most cases we should just shut up and get on with out lives living the best way we can. So that's what I'm going to do.
