New Career

Saturday, April 14, 2007

So after complaining and complaining about the unfair situation I was facing at work. I finally decided to do something about it.

Today was my first day at my new job. And I have to say it was very exciting. I came into a whole new world learning something totally new. It’s more than refreshing this feeling of being totally respected. Being told on the first day of your job that ‘the company’ is lucky to have me and they have big plans for me was an amazing contrast to where I was before.

Although I have to say when asked about my old job I still talk about the place like I belong there and then rephrase to remind myself I no longer work there.. but that I am here. I miss the some of my friends there.. the morning tea gossip session.. and the familiarity of the place.

In terms of friendships I think I will be restricted here, as I entered this new place on a management level I have to be careful of they way I deal with the people around me. I remind myself that I have to be firm yet fair and to constantly encourage my staff.

I think its going to be a challenging experience.. which I welcome with all my heart and mind.

Wish me luck.
