I haven't really blogged much about my new job since I joined a month ago. I figured I might as well, I might want to re-look into this episode in my life sometime in the future.

I stepped into my office today at 9:10 am, punctuality has been increasingly harder to maintain as I reach a certain status quo with the train schedules. I'm in a mad routine of waking up and doing all the morning stuff in under 20 minutes everyday. Its a matter of timing actually - I miss this train, I'll be stranded for another 10 minutes for the next. Screw SMRT.

Colleagues have been swell, albeit the tumultuous generation gap I may have with some, or perhaps it's just a matter of frequency. I believe I'll be able to gel with everyone soon; I didn't really have much trouble in my previous jobs. A good friend told me it's only a matter of time before you find your footing.

The job itself is challenging, I'm doing things I've been looking forward to be doing since I took that leap of faith to step into this field a year ago, which I can't really say I've been shortchanged of in my previous appointment (of whence I've made some really memorable friendships and a few forgettable grievances), but I am glad I am here now. I'm picking things up bit by bit as I go along. That much I can tell myself. Assurance for now at least.

I've never really flown on a job before, and I'd dare say its rather exciting. I've been told I'm on a yearly schedule of at least 8 to 10 trips, which makes up about 10% of the scope, to countries that are emerging and robust, which I've been reassured would look good on my resume in future. I'm just gonna play my cards right for now though and I wouldn't want to spell the premise of being uprooted.

I really hope this would be somewhere I can finally lay my anchor at, having to hop around jobs doesn't really reflect well on my CV. Hopefully, this time round in the coming year, I'd be telling a different story to everyone.
