Eternal Job Hunt




New Job Update:

This is in hope that I have impressed on my manager/attorney that I am assisting. But with all the faith that I have, this is my update on the new job and somewhat prayer for relief that this is the last stop on the long line of jobs, career quests and internal directional questions for Anita. I am praying that the buck stops here.

Pros:
1) The environment is so WOW! healthy, foreign, beautiful, so good, that at a point I don't know if it is I working there. Tall buildings, remember I asked for that. Serious minded people all headed to their respective jobs with laptops/oversize briefcases in tow. The landscaping and the scenery is just breathtakingly refreshing, you get to sit in the courtyard and have lunch. I can't wait to see it in the summer, and can you imagine that courtyard at Christmas. But enough of that.

2) There are several other pros as in I am hoping I have a better working relationship with the lady I am working with than my former boss. Fewer staff, the phone does not ring off the chain like my other job, and there is interaction between me and other paralegals/attorneys, not with bankrupt uneducated people. Moreso, I can get a 15 minute break every now and then and I don't think it would be an issue.

I shall reserve the rest for a month in, it's too early to call right now.

Cons:
1) The journey to and from work is so damn hectic I am knackered each and every time. I know I will get a hang of it. At best I can find somewhere in that beautiful side of town to hang out in till I get to go home later. I want to start packing an extra tee shirt and comfortable shoes just so I can change from them occasionally.
2) Haven't mastered my way around yet so I do not know where to eat lunch.
