在生活中磨練，在困難中成長;願曆盡千帆終上岸，寒梅經霜傲骨存
Everything is unbelievably good! Maybe not everything, most things are beyond my expectation, somewhat too good to believe. Besides satisfaction, while I was in the car driving home, I doubted from time to time whether it was just a 'honeymoon' period...you know, a period that a new incomer would experience, everyone tried to expose their best side to you, be kind, be helpful...any way, I have to admit, the first week has been 'super good', and I did not expect that good, because the workplace I worked for more than a decade did not give me that degree of 'Welcome' when I joined in. A day of induction to the new staff, that was it.
The only thing that I might be slightly unsatisfied with is that I had to work overtime. I bravely negotiated with the College Principal about the possibility of getting in-lieu for my after-hour work but was refused reasonably. Wow, I couldn't complain, and I actually expected that since when you started a new job, you would need to work overtime to get yourself familarise with millions of things. So you can get your head around. I take that!
The people, actually I should call them my colleagues, are so welcoming, caring, loving, and helpful.
I got lost, someone would magically appear at the right time to lead me to the place that I was looking for.
I raised a question, someone I just knew for a minute patiently responded to me to the best they could.
There is even a buddy who helps me at all times. She mentioned briefly that she got asked to. Again, it was completely out of my expectation, all of which sort of fosters my belief that I made the best change -leaping to a new job.
I am looking forward to my 2nd week now.
Hubby said 'I kind of feel you are moving to a new school instead.' （你看著不象換了一個工作單位，到象一小二郎換了一個新學校上學。）
我是挺高興的。說實話，他要樂意天天在家做home dad, 我也樂意掙錢養家，哈哈
當然一起掙，保險係數更高些。
新工作開始時加班正常，but still keep it to minimum! 祝觀止新年氣象萬新，身體健康，工作順心！
