A new beginning, a new adventure

Next Tuesday will be my last day of work and I can’t say I feel sad or sorry about it. There really isn’t a single thing that will make me miss this place. Zilch. Nada. In fact, I can’t wait to skip my way out of the office for the very last time on Tuesday. When I think back on my time at the company, I find it ironic how different things have turned out. I remember feeling extremely excited and optimistic when I first joined the company and I even hoped I’d do well enough to get offered a permanent role. Who would’ve thought things would go south so quickly?

I tried to stay positive and not let the hostilities get to me. I really did. I guess I can only say I wasn’t able to make myself adapt to the culture and style of the team. I’m glad though, to know that I’m not the only person who feels this way about the shitty culture and the less than desirable characters there.

Anyway, this unpleasant episode is going to be history very soon and I should look forward to a new beginning. I’ll get on with my job search and start writing more often. And yes, I’m also planning a short solo trip to Bangkok! This is going to be my first solo trip and to be honest, I’m not sure how I feel about it. On one hand I’m totally excited and confident about going on a trip on my own but the thought of having nobody to fall back on in a foreign city scares me a little. I know Bangkok is easy to navigate especially since I’ve been there numerous times before but being totally alone is a new experience for me. Being an introvert, I tend to leave the tasks that involve talking and bargaining etc to someone else but I’ll have no one to depend on for this trip. I sure hope I’ll be able to cope with handling everything on my own and still have fun along the way. Can’t wait to work on the itinerary and I’ll share my experiences (and perhaps adventures) when I’m back. Stay tuned!
