Coffee, Polao, and Interview Nerves: A Gloomy Winter Diary (21 Dec, 2025)

Hello Steemit Friends!

Today (21 Dec, 2025) was a day of mixed emotions: cold weather, a busy office schedule, and the silent pressure of an upcoming interview. 😪 Let me take you through my day.

A Gloomy, Breezy Morning
I woke up to a very cold and gloomy morning. Looked out from my balcony and guess what there was no sign of the sun! A chilly wind was blowing. It felt to me like the city was tucked under a gray cold blanket. Though it was beautiful in its own way, it definitely made it harder to leave the warmth of my bed!

Survival Mode: Office & Coffee
However, I reached the office by bike 🥶, and then my first priority was a steaming cup of coffee. In this freezing weather, coffee isn't just a drink; it’s a necessity to stay alive and keep the brain functioning! With only my cup of coffee I could open my laptop and dive into my daily tasks.

A Hearty Lunch Break
Office days are better when the food is good. For lunch, we had Morog Polao. The taste was good and it didn’t worsen my day. After lunch, I spent some quality time with my colleagues and took tea and Coke. It was a much-needed break before heading back to work.

The Final Stretch: Interview Prep
Now I’m back home and the real "stress" begins. I have an interview tomorrow. Ironically, I successfully cracked this same interview two years ago, yet I feel just as nervous as a beginner! I’ve set up my laptop and started the preparation.

The pressure is real, but I’m trying to stay focused. Balancing office work, my Steemit goals (aiming for that 100 SP!), and career growth is a challenge, but I'm ready for it.

Wish me good luck for tomorrow!

Best Regards
