All About Work

So far, I've been working for three days already. Since some of the divisions in the department will be going through a reshuffle, I was not given any major work yet. I learned later from my head that I was going to be put in the Purchasing 2 division which handles the interiors and furnishings. The other two divisions are the Contracts and Purchasing 1. The Contracts division handles the constructors, building requirements, and etc. while the Purchasing 1 division handles the construction or building materials such as the cement, pipes, and etc. The past three days, I have been reporting to Teena, the Purchasing 2 over-all head. She's nice naman, although I have yet to know her well enough. Let's just wait and see.

I can't say that I am enjoying work. But I'm not bored with it either. It's a whole new environment for me. I've got some pretty big adjustments to do. For one, I have to be more friendly to the people at the office. I am trying to know each one of them, but sometimes I can't seem to break into their circle. It's hard because they have been working there for almost a year. Some, even more than a year. I'm actually surprised with myself. I'm more at ease now with myself. I don't feel the need to be with a group or something. I don't feel uncomfortable anymore when I do things alone. Although I admit that sometimes I get conscious, I am more confident now in my own skin. It's not that I am detaching myself from the others. I do make it a point not to ostracize myself. I still try to talk to people. The only difference is that I don't try to push myself in anymore. I don't know if it comes with the age...I've become more mature now. I don't really worry much about these kind of things anymore. Not that much anyway. I just try to be myself and be friendly. I know I can't befriend everybody on the block.

Tomorrow I still have work. This is one thing I would definitely change about work. Remove the half day weekend work. I need at least 2 days rest to re-energize. I also do hope that by Monday, I would have my own computer and be completely settled already.
