Changes
See, told ya I would update. :)
The past week has been sort of like being swept--no, not swept, maybe it's more like being gently ushered by an insistent wind. Sound like I’m talking riddles here? Read on.
I’ve been working in a call center for the more than a year now, and even though the job is very very tedious, the pay is good. That’s the only thing that’s keeping me there-the job pays for my sister’s tuition fees, provides groceries, lets me fuel whatever obsession it is that I have at the moment (manga, or Japanese comic books), gets me new clothes, splurge on whatever I want occasionally, and feeds my bank account every month. So even though I sometimes feel I would slowly rot in a corporate environment, I have managed to hang on and make the most out of it. The most (aside from earning) are the friends I’ve made during the year.
Just last week I was assigned to another department. It’s not a promotion, but it’s a slight change from what I’ve been doing everyday. I don’t know which direction I’m going with the job, so when I was interviewed I thought this is good-change is better than nothing at all.
But half of me wants to stay put in the team that I have now. I dunno how to describe it, but I’ve gotten really close to the team mates I’ve been with for a year. I don’t want to be all sappy but earlier my supervisor and one of my teammates got a bit teary-eyed because it was my last day with them. I have integrated so much of myself to the team(same for them as well) so it’s a bit hard to let go of everything that we got to share every single day. There is not one single selfish soul in the group I’ve worked with, and I’m very proud to say I got to know them all.
It has been like being pushed by an insistent wind in finally deciding to make the change. I wanted to stay put so much, but because of circumstances I hardly have any control over, I have to change the status quo and try something different.
Tomorrow I will be in a group where I know absolutely no one. I have a vague picture of what I want to do for the next few months (I hope I get to travel early next year!) but let’s see what happens, eh?
