心情写照~灰色的毛衣
I am back!! Finally after a long long break, everyone’s friendly blogger is back in action. Hmm, but then again not sure how long will this blogger persevere (Hey, I am talking about blogging okay!). A quick update : (1) Finally found someone willing to take me for life and so went from Miss to Mrs (hahaha!) (2) Had fun planning a couple of months for an event that was done and over with in less than 6 hours. (3) Start of 3rd month at new workplace (still adjusting and learning).
Ok, think that pretty wraps up about moi, time to get onto other things. About work, since it has really been a 360 degrees change from my previous employment. Not only am I in a totally new field, but its also the most complex structure I’ve encountered to date. All along I’ve been working in subsidiaries/regional office. Never had I dreamt of having the chance to work in what is commonly known as a shared service environment.
Its a super dynamic working environment with changes taking place every minute. There are so many departments that have an impact on our work, so having emails flowing (and flooding) every now and then is considered a norm. Communication is considered quite a challenge especially for newbies. Emails have to be worded correctly and sent to the correct recipient so that people will get the correct message and know what the hell we are talking about.
The bit about being a newbie, people always wanna try and push their luck just to see how far can they go (to me, it all boils down to being insecure). And of course, now that I’ve got a small team to lead, can’t be hiding behind the back of my bosses all the time. No one likes confrontation but its inevitable in every work place. So, I guessed I just have to try and be level headed in every situation coz emotions really screw things up (big time!)
So far, I’ve been learning alot (simple things like using the printer/scanner to waging war) and time really flies when there are things to do. Despite still swimming in the deep end, I am glad that I didn’t succumb to temptation to take the easy way out on things. Its exactly the same situation as when I rather just continue to wear my old dusty grey sweater than to take out my brand new red and pink PUMA sports sweater for wear. Its all about taking time to adjust and I believe that nothing is impossible unless we are talking about fetching down the stars from the sky!
Super Moi!
