Until We Meet Again, Citigroup

Why is it that I only go back to this place when I have important updates?
I have to break that habit of mine. Or maybe I'm just busy at work. Or maybe it's just the Christmas rush wherein everyone's busy. Ah what the heck, who am I kidding? I'm still a sucker for mismanaged time and cramming and procrastinating. That better change.
Anyways, going back to the supposed topic of this entry. Mind you, this entry will be long. Last week, at about this time, I received a call from Citigroup. It's like any other call, except for the fact that they still pushed for an interview even if I said I already have a job (just to give you a background, when Canon called me and I said I already have a job, they said their thanks and ended the call). As for me, being the curious person that I am, plus the fact that I've been waiting for Citigroup for SO long to call, I decided to go and get the interview over.
Wednesday morning, I was able to get to Citibank Tower (just like the OJT days). Then, I was met and interviewed by a new member of the HR team. It took a while, but in the end all was good. Since the interview went well, she decided to call upon two executives to interview me for the position they were offering. Gosh! The HR, being so kind and all, gave me some tips on how to go about with the next interview and bid her goodbye.
Then came the two executives, who were generally tough interviewers. There must have been something I did to impress them pretty good. That afternoon, I got a call saying that I got the job!
But here comes the worst part... it has been a tough decision to make. They gave me the entire weekend to think, and I had to give my decision just yesterday. And my decision was to let go of the offer. Why? Well... it had a lot of invocations that I can't really post.
Blogger's Note: I don't have a Top Ten List as of the moment, but you can refer to the previous Top Ten List for you to have an idea why my mind swayed back to IBS.
Let's just hope that it turns out like my HP decision - hard to live by at first, but correct in the end.
