It's a sad state of affairs when the only b'day cards you receive in the mailbox are from your recruiter and your mortgage broker. I'm probably not the only one. Do people, other than businesses, send these things anymore? Not that I've been sending them myself... it's just that irritating moment when you enthusiastically rip the envelope open, only to reveal an impersonal card purely for commercial and marketing purposes... I'd much rather they didn't bother really. Save some postage and trees, if you ask me.
Anyways, just started a new role couple of weeks ago. Team is nice enough, and I'm settling in okay I guess. I don't know about everyone else, but there's always this initial stressful period, say in the first month or so at the new workplace, where I feel like I'll be exposed as a fraud anytime. That they're having second thoughts hiring me in the first place. Maybe it's self doubt... maybe it's insecurity... you'd think by now I'd get over it after all these years in the workforce. I think I'm pretty darn good at what I do... and yet...
Mom's arriving tomorrow. I hope she's brought some mooncake goodies for me. It's one of the few things that evoke memories of childhood and family.
