Not So Lucky

       My friend told me that I am inspired and seem happy today. They asked me why and I couldn’t answer. What I told them is because it is just what I felt. Then I scrutinized myself on what gave me such aura. But I found no particular reason so I assumed that this is my lucky day. And I believed so.

       After a while my friend informed me that I am in need at the office. He added that our liaison officer want to talk to me about a personal matter. I couldn’t think of a reason why she wants to talk to me. So I did rush into the office. And while I am walking, a spark of light tickled my thought and I remembered my application for promotion. I presumed that I am happy today maybe because they grant me that promotion.

        But it was contrary to what happened.

    Honestly, I felt a bit sad and disappointed when I heard that they rejected my documents. Anyway given my situation, I anticipated it because previously they branded me as the black sheep and a sore to their eyes. But what saddened me more is that they can't provide a concrete reason for the rejection. Plus, they can’t show me the official memorandum regarding that matter. They want me to provide a proof instead.

       I only wondered why they asked me do it myself while they are in the position of doing so.  Processing of papers and promotions are included on their job description. And besides, I am just an ordinary employee. Plus the fact that all the memorandums and orders are directly been delivered to them.

        Anyway, just like what I said I didn’t expect of anything when I apply. But I will do the best I can to win the promotion. I toiled for getting and investing on a better education not just go wasted. It is just another obstacle and a challenge for me to win.

       The happiness I felt a while ago has never been subsided. I just looked on the brighter side of this scenario. If it’s not meant to be then so be it. Anyway I am still young and still have the time to get that promotion.
