New job and the challenges..

Yeah!!! Finally I have managed to find a job for myself, after sticking on to my previous job for more than 6 years.. (very long time you see ;) ). I guess I am exposed to the corporate world for the first time, as my previous company was much liberal regarding the timings(suited the lazy me ;) ) and also there was no transport facility that would compel me to be on time. :D As they say, first love can never be forgotten, I think it applies to the first job as well, that too when you stay for so long and enjoyed being in the comfort zone.. :)

My first job was through campus recruitment( well, I was lucky!!! :) ),7 years back when it was difficult to find a job. I got a decent package, maybe not a dream infrastructure.. :) The journey was awesome for those 6 years, full of learning, travelling, friends, late nights, new experiences and everything.. In case of learning, I have been the "Jack of all trades" and never an expert , I think that has made me more confident than I ever was. Anything and everything has either a solution or a work-around.. :) I have traveled to 4 different countries each with different cultures and enjoyed the stay at each place..Not though very friendly, I did have group of friends to chit chat with, to go out for movie and the endless gossips..:) And yeah I have worked hard to gain a bit of recognition :) You know, with so much in the memory box, one tends to become nostalgic.. :)

Now the new job, after several failed attempts, I have landed in a sea after being in a pond for 6 years. Its almost being 2 months now and still having no friends :( and literally no work compared to all the donkey work I was doing earlier. :) Good infrastructure, liberal working hours, good salary package , transportation facility.. :) And yeah there is always two sides to a coin.. :( Pros and cons.. too much of automation in finance dept, too much of e-Learnings, to much of fuss ( as it seems to me now):( , feeling lonely, losing too much of tax (hope it helps Modi.. ;)) and what not.. And work is a level down to what I was doing earlier and salary a mere increase to what I was earning earlier( not much of a difference :'( ).. Worst is I have to stick on to the timings because of the transportation facility.. :( Arrrggghhh!!!!

Ohh God!! You have been wonderful to give me this new job, but the ever cribbing me is still struggling to come out of the comfort zone(sigh). So God, be kind, be helpful, and give me the strength to adapt to this new world and find new friends :) For God you may say , you don't get it , you have a problem , and  you get it, you still have a problem!! hehehe :)
