It's Official
Wednesday, January 21, 2009
Well,
As I've promised before.. I'll talk about all those mysterious posts I've made previously.
It started with the resignation of one of my dear colleague at the end of the year. Therefore, my boss asked me to take her position. I've had a bad impression for the position since my early year in this Uni. So I had once decided to never want to take that position someday in the future.
Actually, he had once offered me the position 2 years ago, but his boss didn't approve me to take that position then, and his boss prefer my friend to take the position. So I didn't get the job, my friend did. Frankly, I was a bit disappointed for this. But, since I didn't really want the job, so I quickly can overcame my disappointment.
But this time I got the offer for this position again, while I was waiting for another position that I've been fighting for about 3 years, and it had been already 80% sure.
At first I was confidently saying "No" to him, since I've never liked the position and I really wanted the other position that I've been waiting. Also unfortunately, the disappointment from 2 years ago still hung around in my heart. He asked me to think about it. He gave me about 3 days to think about it.
After 3 days, I still confidently said "No" to him. And he asked me to re-think again. I did re-think, asked for pros and cons from some friends. All of them advised me to take the job. They said that actually all these times I had done part of the job, so why didn't I take the job if I would still do part of the job too whoever takes the job later.
I still wasn't confidently assured to take the job. Cause I know this job is a tough one. Other assured me that I would be able to do the job. He said I wouldn't be alone in doing this job, I'll have the Best Support a person can have.
After I thought about all these advised, I still can't decide it. While it was the day that I had to answer my boss, and I still didn't know what to tell him. I got depressed a little bit, and decided not to think about it anymore. I thought I'll just say what my heart would say when the time to answer came.
And it came... He asked me, and I still can't find the answer. While I was waiting for him to finish his words, the conflict in my heart became worse. But then, when he finished with his words, suddenly my heart said "Yes". Then I said "Yes" to him though I still can't accept it 100%.
He was quite happy with my answer. He said that he would ask for approval to his boss. After he said that, the disappointment from 2 years ago, came up. So I said, "if this time he didn't approve me to take this job, please don't offer me this job again in the future." And he said OK. And then we had a holiday.
Back from the holiday, I got the news that his boss said "Yes" about me taking the job. I felt like a burden was put in my shoulder, since I still can't accept this job 100%.
However, I believe when He allows something happen in my life, that something has been put in my way, then it would be the best thing for me to do.
Today I was told that the position has been officially mine since January 2009.
So here I am.. the Deputy Head of Computer Science Department of BIN*S UNIVERSITY.
Now,
I should say bye bye to Sweden, since the Head of Department has decided to go, so I can't go either..
I should say bye bye to Head of Computing Laboratory position, since someone else has been appointed to take that position..
I could probably say bye bye to ICPC, since with my work load now I don't think I can handle such big event..
Here's my oath
"I do solemnly swear that I will faithfully execute the office of the Deputy Head of Computer Science Department of BIN*S UNIVERSITY. And will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the Computer Science Department of BIN*S UNIVERSITY.
So, help me God.." (quoted from Obama's presidential inauguration oath)
Wish me luck friends :)
