Starting Work

Have always been fascinated with the night sky. I’ve never really pointed a tele lens at the stars before. Not sure whether that is Venus or just a satellite in the sky. Will take a look again during summer when the evening skies stay light and warm enough to spend time outside.

It’s only been 3 years since I’ve been in the work force. Heh, I’m not sure what it was like for my brothers or the previous generation. What does one expect when they start working for the rest of their lives, at least until they retire? The world seems to be changing at a sweeping pace these days, and you can see things change in front of you, yet you are not quite sure of how to deal with it.

In terms of skill sets, I am still very new to the labour market. I have gained insight into the finance industry, its peak at the middle of last year and its subsequent fall over the cliff since these past year. That peak allowed me to experience New York, and to really stand on my own two feet while I was there. I don’t think I’d have grown or matured that much if I stayed sheltered in Melbourne. I have a new found confidence in interacting socially with people and do not feel uncomfortable just talking to complete strangers.

I just need to get used to a whole new routine. I like the idea of knowing what times I can expect to be where I need to be so I can plan things.

Heh, it’s been four months since my body has had to push itself through a day’s worth of work. I hope I can adapt back to that lifestyle soon. Just hope to get through this month and still feel I can stay afloat with all the changes.
