I survived my first two weeks at work.  Phew!  It was like going through a roller coaster ride. My days would usually start upbeat and then as the working hour nears it ends, I feel so drained and more, experience headaches.  The reason behind this is quite embarrassing and cant quite accept until now that it can cause my malfunction.

I start the day by waking up at 6am up to 15 minutes pass it.  The first day was a bit tough because I was so used to waking up 2 hours more and cant take it that the rest of the people at home are still snuggled in their beds.  But I perk up with the knowledge that here is a new day, a new opportunity for me..I embrace the change! Before I fix myself up, I make sure everything the kids need for their day care are all set.

To my convenience, the office environment is very easy and casual.  We go to work wearing jeans!!! On some days, I feel like "walking tall' so I release my long imprisoned high heels from the shoe cabinet and it felt so good! I try to be as casual as the rest but there are days when I just cant help but dress up a bit!

My colleagues are mostly male and all my bosses are men.  This is a first time for me since my entire working life was surrounded and headed by female powerhouses!!! Its quite amusing for me because with men bosses and collegues..everything is as is…straightforward, casual, no "trial" period.  And they are all very nice gentlemen.  I guess it has something to do also with me being female and the only Asian.

I am inspired by how they do business.  My bosses inspire me because they are so simple and humble and yet they hold big time gobal projects in their hands.  And this is exactly the kind of environment I want to be involved in.  So, I felt and still feel like a tiger….sharpening my claws and getting ready to that moment that they will opent he gates widely and let me free.  I cant wait to make that first "kill" and relish the success of closing a big project.  I can already feel it in my fingers…..
