It's been awhile since I last updated my blog, a lot of things have happened, a lot of things have changed. If you know me all too well then you'd know that I'm not a big fan of change, as a matter of fact I try to keep things the way they are for as long as I could. All in vain.
Anyways, not a lot of you know that I've found me another job, for the nth time. I was planning to take at least a month-long break before I hunt for another job when this company emailed me for an interview, I had nothing else to do so I went, I learned that the job they're offering has got nothing to do with what I usually do but I took their offer anyway for two reasons: one, they'll train and make an InDesign expert out of me and two, I've got nothing better to do at home so I figured I might as well take this job to tide me over until i decide what to do next with my life.
I had no plans of staying here, to be honest. Everything here is different. Being an artist, I've always been isolated from the rest of the people, I had no problems with it, as a matter of fact, I rather enjoyed it. I'm not a very social person. I could survive the whole 8 hours in the office without having to talk to someone. I've always had my own space, all mine. It's all different here, I don't have my own little office, I don't have my own little space, we're all exposed, nowhere to hide. I don't have a choice but to interact with people. It was a great adjustment for me, it took a lot of effort, really. I never thought I'd last this long, it's been three months.
To be honest, after my first two days here, I wanted not to comeback. I didn't think I could adjust, being around this many people everyday was just too much for me to handle. I had to smile all the time, argh!
But you know what? I'm glad I stayed for a little while longer, I'm still not an InDesign expert but I get the job done... eventually. Ha ha ha!!! And I sharpened my PR skills, it was hard work, even harder than my training but I cope, I've made friends, I couldn't be any happier. I don't suffer much from technology withdrawal anymore like I used to because I have enough socializing everyday. I just realized that I've been very busy for the last three years of my life living my life on the internet that's why I didn't mind not making friends and socializing in real life. I have no regrets, I've "met" wonderful, kind and generous people through the net, I hope to keep it that way. However, my blogging may not be as often as it used to be.
