I heard a question today at work and I aswered in a very simple way. Everyone was surprised that I had the answer (I was the only one):
Who ordered to move the whole clearance department?
My answer : Mr Xxx
Everyone was looking at me .. I did not elaborate…!
Next Question: Was Mr Xxx here this week?
My answer: YES!
I only looked at the smile on their faces.

My new job has taught me one of the most valuable lesson in life. What is most precious at work is not your knowledge or your skills, it is your ability to interact with as many people as you can.
I have surrounded myself with a lot of skilled people as soon as I could. I gave very sincere answers when I could. When things were politically sensitive, I kept my mouth shut and I obeyed direct orders.
I am starting to pick the fruits of my labor: I became reliable and I gained knowledge slowly but surely. I am protected by the most important people at work and I am part of every important projects without even asking for it. People were surprised to see me there but they all knew that someone very important invited me.
My boss asked me today a question and his gaze was too long to be innoncent: a director has proposed his space for me to join. I am currently assigned to another director. My boss was willing to let me choose but he warned me that if he cannot get me my new desk (where I wanted) I would have to join the new director :). Both paths are challenging and offer unlimited possibilities.

I was driving to work when I witnessed a car accident with a moto and a man lying on the road at 8 am in the morning. Strange and weird scene! I did not realize how affected I was with the accident.

I started on May, the 7th my new job and it’s been almost two months soon. I am tired. After all the excitation of novolty and the pleasure to be out of the mess I was in. The routine set in and a job is a job … meaning lots of stress and mental energy.
I like my job.. it is a real mess but it is real work not fake owrk, however it’s taking its toll.

There is a farm not far from my parents’ place and I love spending my Sundays there to forage strawberries and other goodies. Indeed, I eat many of them before foraging.

I did not declare my new job yet in order to enjoy another extension of the free pass (bus & innercity train) so that I can go to Chinatown.
