pimper's paradise

here's my latest realisation: that am in a pimper's paradise.
and it seems am stuck in this well that's my workplace. i've been around here for more than a decade now. i get to feel needed and i get to believe am a solid hand. but when it comes to promotions and increments, it's never a great deal. and that's the only time of the year when am made to feel down. otherwise things were ok. my happy private life, 6-hour duty, 70-day leave, an intact ego and a lack of ambition kept me going.
of late, things started changing. our new boss cribs about leaves and talks about long hours. and it has become difficult to take leave and bugger off after finishing my day's duty. there at home, bindu had to leave work to take care of anosha. and suddenly we were facing a financial crisis.
now, in the indan media scene, one is made to believe that if you wish you can change jobs as frequently as you change your undegarments. everybody around is discussing job offers from newspapers, tv channels, news agencies, equity research agencies, content outsourcing firms etc, etc.
the truth about me is i haven't got a single job offer ever since i took up my first job back in 1992. but anyway since i had nothing to suspect my talent or credibility and there was an urgent need to imprve my earnings, i decided to enter the job market.
and in the last one month, i approached five prospective employers. i took one test and two interviews. but none of them offered me a job.
i wonder how long can i keep blaming my luck...

sexy page! it's rocking, man!
welcome to the news desk. we're into the business of news. producing and packaging news with the same precision a nike does its footwear. and building up your brand the way a coca-cola does. so what if heat waves claim hundreds of lives across the country, as long as it doesn't go with your brand image nothing's news. after all, in the news commodity market, there are thousands of sexy items we can acquire for free and sell for a fortune. and every brand conscious businessman knows the worth of news space. so we sell that also for...yes, much much more than 30 silver coins that god was worth for judas.
