Day 2

Boss may have caught Covid so he wasn’t in today. I had a good day of meeting other division leads and they were all lovely and helpful. The oldies seem a bit jaded and tired, I guess because the big announcement means there’s more work to come. The newcomers are excited and bright eyed. I wonder whether I seem the same way to them ?

It’s Day 2 and I almost broke the coffee machine. Luckily someone smarter fixed it up but I couldn’t believe my daitaoha-ness already struck by Day 2.

There are no good lunch spots, actually there is a lack of lunch spots let alone good lunch places, my money hungry self thinks a Chinese takeaway would do very well in this part of the city. I miss having a lunch buddy and having a stroll in the city. I think I will save a lot of money in this job 😂.

Day 1

It felt good to be handed my work pass. Everyone was approachable and welcoming, I didn’t enjoy the small talk and have never been good at it. But I think I was ok and hopefully came across likeable and friendly too.

Maybe of the corporate cultures spoke to me and my values which did not come as a surprise, since an ex colleague that I admire a lot who is now working there spoke highly of their culture.

With every new job, new role and new challenge, there’s always going to be boggles of self doubt, can I do this ? Am I good enough? But I know that the easiest way to dispel these moments of uncertainty is to just dive into it and work hard. For my second day, I’m looking forward to diving deep and exploring my new world. This could be a new world that I could grow to love whole heartedly, my heart is already open to embracing it. Let’s hope they don’t let me down and I don’t let them down !
