Coming to the end of this week, I found myself hardly can find a couple of minutes to post something in here. Now it’s Thursday. Officially, today is my last day on this job as tomorrow I will take my RDO to enjoy the last Friday before I commence the new job.

As my boss said, she has the mix feeling about me getting this new position. So do I.

This morning, when I sat in my office and looked about, I felt that I would definitely miss here. People think this room a bit spooky as it’s at the end of the corridor and it has the funny shape. Surely they didn’t want to talk down to the details too much as they didn’t want to scare me or put me off. But I didn’t really feel the way how they felt. Actually I like to be alone and undisturbed. The most important thing is I owned the whole room and didn’t have to share it with others. I couldn’t imagine next Monday I will be moving up to the front and sitting between two ladies. What am I going to do?

Another thing I am going to miss is the comfortable feelings of dealing with my job. To me, admin job is really not challenging enough, but it’s something to allows me to stay in my “comfort zone”, feeling cozy and easy. People, like cats, are creature of habits. I can’t say I love challenge. I am not like those people who state their ambition in their job interviews. I love the feeling of being familiar and prioritize my day as I wish. This is one side of me. There is no way I can get bypassed it. Well, this admin job was really something suits my preference the best. However, it also demands a versatile person……not just keeping the accounts balance, having stationery and coffee stock up, but also creating lots of stuff, providing supports, getting the office running smoothly and making everybody happy.

Were they happy? or are they happy? I bet they are. I can see it from their faces. But from next Monday, I will not be able to see it anymore, as my clients’ faces will be at the other end of the line. It’s kind of distance away. The feeling of serving them? I had a bit taste from the experience in the last 5 months. It was not the same as the one I got from admin job.

Anyway, better get going. There is no point to dwell in the past and imagine what if the history would have had happened differently. I have been working on my Handbook for Admin person this week, and finally, before the lunch time I have finished it off and handed to my boss. Hope the next person will find it useful and enjoy that spooky room as I did. Well, I wasn’t that lucky to have something like that when I started :-)
