Been really busy during and after office hours since I started work. Most of my weekday hours weren’t spent at home, but I don’t mind. It’s hard to do much at home anyways, with the lack of privacy. For me, being on the move energizes more than exhausts.
So what came true and what didn’t?
I’m glad to say that two months into my job, I’ve yet to develop a a sense of weariness. I still believe that I chose the right job, despite the gap between my training and what’s usually expected of a new staff in my position. I’m fitting in fine.
The working hour ain’t bad. There’s none of that stay-on-till-your-boss-leaves shenanigan because the bosses leave on time! It’s no wonder my colleagues stay on so long in the job. Most of them have been around for at least 7 years.
Things can run slow sometimes, especially when I’m dealing with HR matters, or simply getting help from people. That was largely caused by my employment status which complicates things. Hopefully it will get sorted out in time to come.
With males forming the majority, I was sensitive to any preferential help given to females in the lab. It’s not as bad as I thought, but it’s not going away either.
I may have misunderstood, but I didn’t mishear.
