A Brand New Job

A brand new job, brand new working environment, brand new colleagues, brand new boss... Yes, I quitted my job 3 weeks ago, reason was... (I don’t want to talk about it anymore) It wasn’t easy (few deep thoughts) nor hard (one resignation letter) and here I am, with a new job in my hand.

This new job, indeed a new factory itself, offers me a brand new job scopes. It involves manufacturing field, a field that I didn’t want to venture into after my graduation (not really interested in that field) but how ironic life can be. This new job though, has a hidden agenda (a 28% dip in salary). This economic slowdown, jobs are hard to come by, who would resist?

When I first broke out the news of my resignation, most people would say: “Har, during this kind of economy situation?”, “Why don’t you find a new job before quitting?” etc. I told my family, but they didn’t really against it, they accepted my decision (which I am thankful). But the person who knew I would be quitting was my very supportive girlfriend (thanks for listening to my complaints, supportive of me and giving me advices that I think would hard to come by if I had not meet you). Thanks for everything (I love you).

This new job position of mine, Mechanical Design Engineer, which I guess will have me to sit in front of computer and design. I don’t know whether I will like it (familiar with designing building services but designing a component?).

I have to wait and see...
