Doing the rat race after a relaxing vacation plus weeks of bumming around certainly is a taxing thing to do. It feels like this phrase "Life has never been so horrible!".
I did the fortunate thing to only start on a Thursday. So so so terribly glad that I have done that, because a weekend is so close by. This week, the boss is not around and it was an easy start and a quiet time to pick things up. Lots and lots of things to do, it stumped me there. Yes, I should have expected it since the day I put my signature down on that piece of paper (the contract).
So overwhelmed by work, I haven't had a chance to properly sit down, absorb things slowly and digest them. It's so difficult when you've to take over from someone's duties and responsibilities. I just wanted to trash all that and start it my way - seems like I have gotten this chance to revamp their work flow and run things more efficiently (with my method - which I'll need to come up with!). That part is so exciting, I can already foresee improvements. I'm getting a bit too ambitious.
Coming back to this. Why the hell do I get a job this fast after a holiday?? CVs sent on the following Monday (after holiday), interview on Tuesday and job offered. Damn fast. Too fast. I haven't had a chance to breathe and say "Let me think over it for some days." Argghh. Anyhow, in order not to delay my chance of earning more money for more travels, besides this job somehow suits my forte and also allows me take up bigger responsibilities... and I think it'll be a good start to wherever I'm heading next! (Boss has kindly agreed after an open discussion that should I not have place for advancement after a year or two, I wouldn't be hated for moving on to greener pasture.) That is the main reason I take this on!
One more day before I need to get mentally prepared for the busy Monday.
Wish me luck, friends:)
