I think the past few weeks have been so hectic that my brain is slowly shutting down and I am beginning to make tiny bit of mistakes in my email writing to my academics. I said I'll see them in 3 December 2012. Hahaha...I almost gave some of them a shock!
To be honest, I haven't really work extremely that much this year. Went on a break in March and then on another one in October. But the breaks were good. It gave me time to stop, think and reflect on the changes that have occurred through this year.
I entered this year not knowing exactly what it will eventuate to in terms of my career. I knew I didn't really want to continue with media sales and neither on the agency side. But somehow I thought an opportunity will bring me back to media after an old manager contacted me to meet up with the training manager. All didn't work out. But I believe God worked it out afterall.
Yesterday, while I was seated with my manager and team leader to complete my final probation review, my manager asked me, 'Jolyn, tell me, do you really enjoy what you are doing?' I said it with complete confidence, 'Yes, I really do. I left my old job not knowing exactly what I wanted to do. I just knew what I didn't like. But I love it now. I love helping people. And the best part of this is that I get to help academics!'
Before I left the media agency, my boss told me, 'Jolyn, you will have to find the colour of your balloon and fly away to the things you love'. Yesterday confirmed it. It confirmed that I have found the colour of my balloon. My colleagues are extremely supportive and somewhat 'protective'. My manager pointed out that one of my weakness is not telling anyone when my workload gets a bit overwhelming. And yesterday I listed out what I have been doing for the past 9 months and there will be some reshuffle to do next year.
So for now, I will look forward to a restful Xmas and NY break.
And I MISS YOU A LOT, ANT!! :) Same time last year, we were in Sydney....cider *nono*. But now I am a pretty good cider drinker. Hehe... :)
And yesterday 15 December was the 34th year of my parents anniversary!
