Keeping my head above the water

It's been awhile since I last wrote, and a month since I started my new job. Work has been crazy from day 'go', and not showing any signs of easing up.

It honestly feels like anything that can go wrong at work, will go wrong. And I constantly feel like I'm racing against the clock to get things done.

The 12-14 hour days, including some weekends has left me drained. It sure feels a lot longer than a mere month, and a short one at that!

I guess the one thing I can be thankful for is that my team is great. Everyone's been very helpful and patient with my many questions, and it's made the transition process that little bit easier.

It's the last day of the Lunar New Year today.

I feel like my life has come full circle in the past year. But still I can't help being a little moody tonight.

Monday is coming again, all too quickly.

Just keep swimming

It's only my 3rd day of work, but already I feel like I've been there forever. In a tired kind of way.

Day 1 I was able to leave at about 640pm.

Day 2 I left at 930pm.

Day 3 I left at 830pm.

There's so much going on at the moment and I'm just trying to wrap my head around it all, whilst proving my worth - which is extremely hard when you're unable to value-add in meetings because you don't have sufficient background.

Everything I do, it takes me twice as long because I haven't gotten accustomed to the acronyms (there are like 10 million), the names of the clients (who does what), the various stakeholders and the campaign itself.

So for now, I'm still floundering, trying to find my way.

But I will say this. I like what I know of the place, the work and the clients so far.
