New Chapter

Welcome back Debbie! =) Sorry folks, I have been pretty lazy myself! But I thought it's about time for me to start activating our blog again.. isn't it, Deb? :P Well, if you folks haven't heard of it yet, I have just left my office of 2.5 years. The most important reason for me leaving is the fact that my office is no longer a very pleasant place to work with. Apart from one particular colleague, I don't really enjoy the rest of the office anymore! My boss's wife (who is conveniently the office manager) is the most annoying person! Although she has no architectural training whatsoever, she is always butting into our conversations, telling us what we should do, even when we are on the phone, she wants to know who it was! How annoying is that?!?!?!? And even our pay is always not on time. It gets rather inconvenient when you have bills to pay!

So I started looking for new jobs, since I have gotten myself registered as an architect. It was really hard, as there weren't many jobs available due to the economic condition. But I was lucky enough to land myself one, although it's not offering me exactly what I wanted. It's a 6 months contract position, with view to be a permanent staff. This is a bit of a worry, what if the economy doesnt pick up enough for the office's workflow? It took me some time to consider this and discussing with Manlok about it. In the end, I decided to take the risk and hope that everything goes well.

So that was that and I will be starting the new job on Wednesday, took a couple of days off to just rest in between jobs since I never allowed myself to rest between jobs EVER! It's quite daunting as I haven't started a new job that is 100% new to me, as my previous jobs, I had at least 1 or 2 people that I know working in the office that I joined! Anyway, it would be rather interesting and nerve wrecking perhaps, as I wouldn't know what their expectation is of me and vice versa! Fingers crossed, I will get on well with the office... wish me luck! =)
