On the Move...
my manager told me that i've to move to another working location within the school. AGAIN. i don't know if being moved around is a good thing. moving means not only packing up all my barang barang, leaving the familiar work space but also processing all the paperwork for the assets change, password locks, printer and cpu configurations. so cumbersome! :S yet, moving also means a major springcleaning session and a time to throw out old things, shred off all unnecessary documents and file back stuff that have been lying around.

pack.. pack.. pack.. so that's what i've been doing yesterday. i never knew i've accumulated so much junk over the past 1.5 years. toys, rubbish, gifts, paper, cds, files... i guess the move provided the impetus to start trashing old stuff and more old stuff. i threw out a lot of stuff, but ended up trolleying quite a few boxes of stuff to the new work space yesterday. hurhur.

went into the new work office this morning and i feel ultra lonely in that big place. it's a quiet spot, as compared to my previous place. isn't that good, some may say. well, if you are looking at tranquility being able to enhance work performance and less work surveillance. but perhaps, it's extraordinarily quiet. something that i might need time to get used to.

of cos, i've been given more chances to meet new colleagues recently, now that im seated at this new space. i gota know the new Teaching Assistant (TA) who started work yesterday. she being an ex student, would find every thing and everywhere in school familiar to her. we had lunch together and i find that i absolutely enjoy the process of making friends. oh well, perhaps it is just the informal and comfortable school environment we are in that allow friendships to bloom more readily than the corporate work environment.

i may be biased, but i think that may be one of the reasons why i prefer working in a school than at raffles place. rushing to work every morning feels different. now, i feel less burden on my shoulders everyday as i rush to work. and perhaps, i am able to let down all work worries every time i leave. or maybe, it is a mindset that i need to develop within me.

something to think about.
