I've been working for 4 months now and I admit I have yet to adjust to my new job. There has been so much for me to learn that that I'm still trying to catch up to it all. The company I'm in is currently in the process shedding its old ways and trying to adopt modern processes and practices that it's making everybody's head spin!
The whole company is basically in a tizzy! I was supposed to be doing Organizational Development but now I've gotten myself neck deep in Sales Training. I don't mind the work and I'm learning a lot as I go. Though I can't help but worry about some things. The fast pace of it all tends to have a lot of things unfinished and if ever they do get finished, the feel somewhat rough and unpolished.
And someone I personally know got offered to go into early retirement and it has resurfaced some unpleasant memories of when my old company was bought out and a lot of employees got laid off. It has made me anxious about my job and I can't help but worry if I too would be so unceremoniously "let go" when the time comes. I know it's not healthy to be brooding over this shit and that I have to be positive about it all. I have to move forward and prepare for my own future - and I have to work hard to make it happen.
My goal for this year is to get myself regularized in this job so that I can finally have a stable source of income again. My other goal is to finalize my annulment and move on with my life. Both goals are very serious for me and I have to work hard to make both of them happen. Hopefully with a lot of elbow grease and prayer, it will all be possible.
Happy New Year! How's your year coming along?
