Yet another long absence. The transition moving between two diferent places was taking alot of time. And yes, with much regret, I wasn't able to talk much on the recent move to this new and expensive city.
Everything was in a rush. Finally, I have moved to a new apartment. Kinda cozy but the moving and cleaning part is still on going and I tell you, it's not fun! I am not autistic, but I am definitely not a fan of moving without preparation, what more if it's for good.
A new place with new colleagues. Am I prepared? I am not sure. But being more in a specialized unit, I am sure it's much better because the area is more focused now. And having so many colleagues and bosses working together, geee...would that be fun?
The first day I went for reporting, I received lotsa curious stares. They must be wondering who is this new kid on the block. Though I don't appreciate how they literally stared or pretended to stay around to listen to my conversation, I am looking forward to meet more people.
Having said that, I am feeling a sudden culture shock. Even though I was there for my successor when overcoming her culture shock recently, I find myself to experience one now. I reckon that my previous job did not allow time for me to experience culture shock even though the surrounding was totally different from my hometown. I had to work right after I arrived and since, I had no time to catch breaths in between as work consumed most of the time.
There are 2 possibilities. Either I have caught the culture-shock bug from the successor or, in fact the memory immunity towards culture shock has been erased from the system. Thus, I am reliving the experience even though I was exposed previously. Ahaha... so scientific. I am sure I'll be fine. Tomorrow there will be an orientation at the new work place.
More updates later.
