first year!
2009-08-19
today's the start of a new year for me! a new work year to be precise..been in my company for 12 months and it's really something i thank God for. i thank Him for letting me be able to find a job; a job that i actually like and not have to drag myself unwillingly each day to the office. i thank Him for my co-workers and bosses, who have displayed nothing but selfless guidance and care thus far. the environment is stressful at times, but seldom tense; and laughter often prevails :) the camaraderie that is perhaps brought about by the uniform we wear, the things said, the mentality of each member..definitely makes work much more enjoyable. maybe the absence of a corporate ladder is the main factor. there is no real competition to get to the top, or be promoted over each other cos it's not gonna happen anytime soon; unless someone leaves. then too, it probably depends on hierachy and seniority rather than backstabbing/limelight stealing means. it's hard to smoke your way through in this job, and experience counts a great deal. i thank God that i didnt live out my neverland dream of bumming around til the end of the year before looking for proper work. the economic crisis would have rendered me jobless til today i would think, given my dislike of interviews and less than stellar grades. i'm grateful for the blessings in disguise. for mum's nagging and pa claiming i was giving him a lot of pressure by not actively searching for a job. for my friends around me who were starting work and recommending me places. for God's hand in all this to give me that subtle push, be it just to placate the parents or allay my fears. not that i really feared much, for some reason. maybe i would have been earning more if i took up the other job offers, or have better job prospects. but the job satisfaction and opportunities given to me right now would probably be hard to find elsewhere. i thank God that He led me to choose this company over others, and stay put where i am. i also appreciate that He did not make me any more driven than i presently am, or be any more motivated by money or success. liking security and non-visibility does suit my profession. i thank God, once again, unceasingly, that He led me to make the decisions so long ago. that He placed me in the positions i was in, and that He gave me the environments then that help me today. it still puts a sense of wonder in me whenever i think about how everything led to this day. and i am discovering, everyday, new things that i never realised would play a significant part in my life, that are working to my advantage in what i do. i pray that i never will one day bemoan my past choices and lament about how my life sucks. because God is in full control and even if my life isnt happy and flouncy, i believe it is because it's in His divine will that i should undergo such tribulation. and i also pray that i will find it in me to remain steadfast in my faith, and trust unwaveringly in my Lord and Saviour. :) thank You, Lord, God. <3
