N. | One Or The Other

As a Systems Analyst (I also am more of a Business Analyst as well) I get to go around talking to a lot of people. We usually have our brief small talk about random things, then start talking about the subject at hand, which is how they do their work and what functions they operate with during the day.

This is the first time I get to speak with this multitude of people. Being an Introvert, I don’t usually allow myself to be placed in such a situation. I usually withdraw and hold back when a situation calls for being with too many people, especially reoccurring crowds! However, during my experience the past week or so I have very much enjoyed meeting and talking to all these people!

I also discovered with time, that I love being a host! I love to bring in people together and having a gathering at my place, or inviting people whom I know to an outing or such. I actually have had quite a few experiences where I mixed a couple of groups of friends and things have gone great! Even though there were times where I tried that, and it failed miserably. I tend to choose wisely between which groups to mix, and I’m glad things are currently this way.

Today was my first day at the new job, and boy was it hectic! The actual work is fine, but I’m not used to working two shifts. We started the day by greeting everyone and getting to know the people there. I then sat down with my supervisor who explained the inner workings of the I.T. department, that was exciting!

What really got me was that some of these people have been working there for about 10 years, some even more! I met people who’ve been there for about 20 years, some about 14 years! I felt like such a novice.. I truly have respect for these people, especially being dedicated for that long.

I tip my imaginary hat to them!

Last Wednesday was the last day at work for me. Since I quit my job, I have been fantasizing about this little break. It is about two weeks. It is 7:46am, and I’m wearing my bath robe, chilling. I think I’ll go have breakfast in a bit. The good life, don’t you think?

Time is of the essence. I quit my job and I’m moving on to another. The main difference is the position held and the job description. Even though both are IT jobs, the newer job is more of a Management Information System job. I am very excited and only pray to God that it will be best for me and my family.
