When I left my last job and started with my current one. I had a tough time adjusting. For 4 years, I had to ask permission for every little thing I needed to do which concerns my work. I had to come in at exactly 830AM. I only have 1 hour lunch time. And, I cannot go out during office hours even just to the nearby concession stand.
In my current job. Not only am I accountable for my work, I don't need to ask permission but I have to be prepared for the consequences. I can come in at 9:30AM. And, I can take my lunch til 230PM. I can go to the nearby grocery to buy my stuffs at odd hours.
It was like coming out of prison. Some prisoners couldn't adjust after being shelled for years that they do bad things again just to go back (saw this at Shawshank Redemption movie). Or take their own lives.
In fairness though, the coming out was the only semblance. I adjusted fairly well after 2 years. Today is my 2nd year anniversary coming out from HaDaBa!
Also, Pre is coming out today. I dedicate today's blog to him. Congratulations!
