This week I successfully completed my 2 months at Gannett Fleming! and to acknowledge my achievement, I was presented with a tie pin... yeah tie pin!!! so much was I yearning for one .. wow! was totally delighted lol... I was happy that they kept a reminder about it. I guess tht was the only thing my chief had in his desk so he passed it on to me... now I can wear it everyday on my shirt... or I shall wait till wearing a tie becomes a corporate fashion and wear it proud.
Jokes apart I was quite surprised that time flies so quickly... my previous job place had 10 ppl working. and here they have 800 lol...I had so many inhibitions to walk into the new company.. something like a real job now atlast! my 1st place was like assorted home.. we had so much time to kill and very little work!! Kim used to get baked goodies, Brian had his cat playing around for few weeks ( thn he got fired for not showing up at wrk much lol) Jeremy used to talk about his adventures off road, football, baseball, how to kill mosquitoes and how to surf youtube and goof off at our corner of the office!! and all office gossip .. one happy family lol !! seriously I thiink we could come and work in our pajamas (lil exaggeration here) but khakis were considered "formals" there and here u can wear khakhis as business casuals lol...
But I dont miss that place very much now. I like it here.. less commute to wrk is a major factor. Esp with the soaring gas prices who does not want to live a mile away from work?? and with parents visiting this is so convenient and comfortable. Working env is more organized and there is always something to do and learn. I see more ppl around which I like ( none desi so far :( ) ... I dont care if I talk to everyone.. but I like to see many faces around the place ( weird na). So till I move to Virginia ( which is in oct) let me feel home ( huh I mean work) at this place!!
