A change of environment, a change of colleagues, a change of culture, a change of job scope, audit period for my area of work, everything was rushed in together... Initially I was having a great deal to cope...... luckily I had a great bunch of friends, colleagues who mentor me through this period of difficult time..
At first I had some unhappiness with my new colleagues, I realized that misunderstanding do happen, it is only a matter of time to allow others to get to know you and you to get to know them.
Thankfully, I am beginning to understand my colleagues more, and we are able to talk to one another seriously about work, and yet in between, we are also able to joke around to defuse the tense working situation during the audit...
I am also able to cope well with my new job scope, learning new things everyday and most important learning how to manage people, which I found to be the most difficult of all. Everyone have their own mindset, own set of beliefs, values which sometimes are so fixed and which in return caused problems at work. It is so easier said then done.
On the first day of the audit, I was actually helping my colleague to type a resignation letter. I too have to a conversation with him to find out his problems. I realized when a person whose grievances are so great, there is no chance of forget and forgive.
Anyway, I was pretty satisfied with myself that I was given the chance to handle this and it ended quite peacefully.
After much of all these hassles , I am finally to lay back and relax. It is time for me to go out and have fun.
My definition of having fun means - Meeting up with my friends, find a place, sit down, have tea and chit chat. Or visiting museums ..... my favourite pastime.
Actually, I am at S H 's house , sitting in her study room, using her laptop and typing my blog...
We are going out for dinner later at six at a garden restaurant to celebrate someone's birthday.
