Today, I have an interview with a recruitment agency. I'm debating whether to wear eyeliner - a small step toward breaking out of my rut. I'm hopeful they'll help me find a better job so I can gather the courage to leave my current one. This Thursday, I have a meeting with my boss about my future development plan and ambitions. I doubt my boss would be pleased if my only ambition is to leave this company.
As for the self-help book I'm reading, "How To Win Friends And Influence People," should I feel embarrassed? I initially borrowed it a few months ago because the title amused me, and I was curious about its content. It had been gathering dust on my shelf, but after hearing good reviews, I decided to give it a read. Perhaps reading it on a crowded train wasn't the best idea; people can be judgmental. I think I caught an old lady giving me sympathetic looks while I was absorbed in my book this morning.
Since work was slow, I continued reading. Interestingly, my colleagues have started offering to get me coffee and other things. Looks like the self-help book is already having an effect!
