First few days at new working place; always awkward, no?
I’ve made a few friends; and my team mates are nice. Actually,
everyone here is nice. You’re taken aback at first, but everyone smiles to
strangers here. Also, can’t complain
much, the perks here are pretty good. A lot of things they offer their
employees are convenient and I don’t see anyone working like zombies here. It’s
a lot more formal than my old place but then again my old place was super
casual by everyone’s standards. Don’t get me wrong, cos everyone here has been
polite and nice. They’re just more reserved, I guess. But they all smile at
strangers, which is a lot more than I could say for my old place.
I can’t say I miss my old job. I think I grew out of the job
and the demands of it. It definitely taught me how to cope with intense
pressure and non-stop deadlines so silver lining and all that, huh? I miss my
friends though. I guess that’s the downside of making real, actual friends at
work instead of just being colleagues. We actually spend time with each other out
of working hours. So I do miss their company and friendship. But then again,
it’s still early days. It took me at least a couple of months to get familiar
at my old place.
Work scope here is a lot more different. And a lot more
interesting, I must say. You actually need to know what’s going on in the
world, currently (financially-wise, at least). So we need to read up a lot,
which is a definite added bonus. Don’t know what work assignments are going to
be like, though so just gotta wait and see. But people definitely seem really
engaged in what they do here and everyone seems super professional. Maybe I
just haven’t found a nook or cranny to fit in yet. But I’ve always been one who
likes to focus on the positives, whatever the situation is.
