Ok... ok.. I haven't updated my blog in a while now. Everytime I thought about writing I've had to abandon the idea and attend to something else that pops up. It's pretty hard to take the time to sit down and write a proper entry since I've started working. The main reason of course is coz so many 'entertainment' websites are banned at work so I can't even get onto the blogger site. The other reason is that when I'm at home, I have to tend to hubby and the house. But right now I'm back early from work, the rice is cooking, the dishes ready to be heated up and hubby isn't home from work yet. So here's my chance to write!
So nothing much has been happening. Work is moving along at a very easy going pace. I can grasp all the concepts very quickly and boy, does my mentor set really low expectations for me. I kinda wonder why. I know some of the people on my team are those that are somewhat older and arrived at their position through hard work and by climbing the corporate ladder. Some of them don't even have degrees. It kinda makes me wonder how hard the job really can be. I mean, no lah... I'm not boasting about the fact that I have higher qualifications in terms of formal education, but.... it's one of those jobs that anyone can learn if they really try hard u know? I've told myself... don't complain.... don't complain... In fact I should be thankful. I'm getting paid really well and my benefits are great too... If this is what the stress level is going to be for the rest of my working career, I have nothing to complain about.
Think about it.... if I get pregnant anytime soon, I'm soooo not going to worry about how to juggle my time between work and taking care of myself. And I'm certainly not going to worry about having to stay at work past 5pm to get home and be with my future children. It's a really great place to be to juggle a career and be a mom and wife. And for that I'm really thankful.
So, my team is made up of about oh, I think 13 people including me. There's a guy from France, a girl from China and me who make up the 'foreigners'. Then there's two black ladies (you will not believe how kepoh they are and how different the blacks talk compared to the whites!). Then there's 2 Caucasian ladies, and 6 Caucasian guys. All of them are married except for the French dude. Our manager is South African and is a really nice guy. He's kinda funny sometimes. He'll say the weirdest things about meeting up with him or holding a meeting. Not a typical manager. I kind of get along with the French dude the best only coz he started the same day as I did. Then the other people are friendly to some degree. But most of them are older than me so the types of jokes are somewhat different. I do feel more comfortable talking about families and children with this group of ppl compared to the friends I had in uni who were mostly single and about 2 years younger than me. And as I said, the work itself isn't very hard at all. So far I'm happy.
Well, thats' that.... work I mean. That's all I have to say really. Nuthing much happens so I don't have too much to say about it.
Oops there's hubby back home from work. Better go and tend to him now. I sure miss reading blogs now that I can't access them from home. But if you're still visiting me here, I thank you!
