A new chapter…AGAIN
Because I have left this blog untouched for quite a while…I cannot really remember what I have written previously..so I was reading back on my entries and I chanced across one which said that I was starting a new job. Well…I will be going through that once again. Hehe…as MM puts in…I am like a rolling stone. But well…I think if I have to work and I will be getting more for it in a new place then why not?!? I am happy where I am now, great boss, great place and nice colleagues. Sometimes I have to deal with petty things amongst staff but that’s not unbearable. The only complain that I have of here is that the pace is rather slow and even for a person like me…I can get bored. And I was telling Iz that if I stay here longer I will get so comfortable and my brain cells would probably die from un-use. It is not that we have nothing to do here but it is just that compared to where I have been, the pace is really slow and tasks operational. Occasionally..exciting things happen but that is not the norm. The boss here is great though…super easy-going and flexible. Her pet phrase seems to be ‘ we see how lah’. Sometimes, I feel that she is a bit too kind to her staff but well..I suppose that is her working style. Colleagues here are somewhat gossipy and like Iz likes to say..auntie-fied but they are a nice bunch. Pretty sheltered here and too used to the comfy pace already, I reckon. So…I think I will miss this place when I move… But I reckon that whilst I am still young (relatively lah…) , I should gather as much work experience and try out as much new stuff as I can. It would also look good on my CV. And the vain and image-conscious side of me says, well….a move to a higher position is always good and impressive. That aside, I am a bit scared though…not only will it be a new area of work, it will also be a my first foray into the corporate sector, apart from the short stint at that silly school which shall remain unnamed. With all the stories you hear about the back-biting, the politics, the competitivess, the loooong hours…..I wonder if I am making the right choice. After my initial excitment, I am now wondering if I am up to it. All the what ifs….That day after I signed the letter of offer, I worried about it so much that I got a tummyache. I tend to get tummyaches whenever I am newvous about something. But well…now I cannot reverse the clock anymore, I can only pray that it all turns out well. Must think positive. Sort of counting down to my last day here cos I am looking forward to the break in between. Already have plans to go have tea, shop for work clothes, do my hair etc etc…Will be so busy then

hey hey!
this explains why the ad for your current post
ain’t it just scary to step out of your comfort zone?
yet you know you simply owe it to yourself to take this step of faith isn’t it?
i went through the same deliberations too … looks like we’re 2 very brave women huh!!?!?!?
