Countdown - 2 weeks!
Yes. Finally.
Exactly two more weeks left of work. Ok, 2 weeks and one day. But the last day doesn't really count because all I'll be doing is sitting around, clearing my stuff, doing all the stuff for clearance and exit.
Gonna be an extremely painful two weeks... But at least I see the light at the end of the tunnel.
Like... Just honestly really never felt good about this job. From like the second week, I felt like I was cheated. Like, I'd have been better off if I stayed at my old job. Maybe the short hospital stint helped in my career? I don't know. But I'm just really glad it'll be over soon. Like... I never once felt proud of this job. Never updated it on my fb profile... Never bothered bringing much stationary to work (and even when Irought anything, it was after months because I was just so uneasy about this job...) Never bought the membership cards for the coffee shop in my workplace, or the food court in the nearest shopping center cos I never wanted to stay long. And I'm glad that I managed to keep to my word.
Of course even happier still is that, thanks to my RF's recommendation, I might well have struck gold with my next job. Well I certainly have high expectations. And I really really hope I'm not disappointed. That my assessment of the group is accurate. Still. Things are moving so fast in the group it's like a massive whirlwind. But that's also when things are most exciting. And you'll have a chance to shape and change and mould things. And it's not like I'm a newbie after all. I now have over 5 years, almost 6 years of work experience under my belt. And then there's all the invaluable skills I learned during my internship. Skills that are still extremely useful today. And skills that I would not have learnt otherwise anywhere else. Bet I'm gonna bump into my old mentors someday at biopolis... Definitely gonna talk with them for a bit. Maybe lunch together or something someday would be nice too. After all it's still that same old matrix canteen that's pretty much the only choice for miles around. And of course... I'll be in the same place, just a few blocks away from my bestie jlf. Lunch or dinner? Convenient! Now we can just text each other... And when she's ready, I'll walk over to her building and we can head off to the train station together. Can't wait to start work there!
Of course... I'm really hoping that things are as I hope. That'll be for the best. If not... I'm gonna have to keep looking. For better or for worst... I'm gonna stay hungry and foolish, and never settle. I'll forever be that crazy kid. Because that's who I am and I can't live any other way. And after the year plus in this horrid cage, this little kid is so happy to be breaking free.
