loving it

Sunday, May 06, 2007

Three weeks on the new job so far and I am enjoying it.

I go through moments of sheer panic at the thought that I not only need to know how to do my job, but I also need to know the job that my team is doing. It’s a whole new ball game being in a management position. Especially in a different organization and in a different area to the one I am experienced in. But so far I am loving it.

It’s also a different atmosphere working in the private sector. Although my previous place wasn’t totally ‘governmental’ in the way they operated but here you feel the challenge, the real work that goes behind making profit. While in my old place, it was a casino. True I was a portfolio manager managing A LOT of money.. but the thrill wasn’t there anymore for me I guess.

I also get to go home for 40 minutes in the middle of the day and eat WARM food compared to stale sandwiches. And if I am lucky my son would be awake at that time and I actually get to spend some time with him before going back to work. And that is something I love.
He’s grown up so much and so quickly, it’s amazing. I can’t remember how my life was before him its like my memories only really matter since I met my husband and from the day my son was born all red and wrinkly.
