Two Weeks and Counting

Two weeks and counting in my new place, I still feel somewhat out of sorts.

Work-wise, everything feels so new and I'm still struggling to catch up...it's a bit disheartening at times, it is as if what I have learnt and achieved in the past 3 years plus holds no relevance in the new place :( New people, new jargons, new tasks...I feel so overwhelmed by it all. I've been told to relax and it is normal to be clueless in the beginning, but I suppose the perfectionist voice in me can't really take this helpless and "not knowing" feeling. I have to consciously remind myself that when i first started out in this company I felt the same way, and things will eventually get better.

Home-wise, I still face "settling-in" challenges =p As of now I am sitting in a living room with no lights :( The living room lights at the place I am renting went out within a few days of moving in, and the landlord has yet to send in the technician to help. The water heater is also not working, and I also seem to be having slight problems with the gas stove. I think my parents will freak out if they knew but I don't tell them because I don't want them to worry....with that said, I DO like my new place :) It's having some teething problems at the moment, but I love that it is my own private space, and everyday I fill it up with things that makes it more and more Jess :)

Pray that all will be ok soon, and that I will survive this tide of change in my life with a smile on my face and soul intact ;)
