Growing up

I really hate to think that I'm all grown up now, having to slowly assume all the responsibilities adults are doing. I've came into the working society as young as 17, my first nine to five job behind a desk. Right then I was very clear that fixed hours and routined paperwork were not my cup of tea.

But I'm stuck to what I didn't enjoy doing for 6 years now. As much as I dislike being bound to a desk all day long, it somehow felt like it's the only thing I can do. Without higher qualifications, my experience in this line became my asset. They overlooked what I lacked because I gave it back with my experience in the line. I won't say I'm an expert at it, I should say maybe I'm better than the people who had better qualifications but little to offer for experience.

And in this stage of life, I realized how important it is to keep good relations with people you meet. For instance my current job, they wanted to poach me over once they knew I quitted because I could "cut queue" with the relationship I had with the people I previously worked for. Well I thought I strucked a good deal out of them, but apparently it was the other way round. Small company, and your title of "Shipment Coordinator" don't mean anything at all. I do so many things beyond my jobscope, being a recept, secretary and handling sales wasn't what I signed up for.

Everyday I dream of leaving this wretched desk-bound job but when picturing what else I could do in this society, I couldn't be sure. But I think it's time, I need to kick start to what may be the start of my dream. Maybe good things will slowly unfold and show themselves along the path to a new future.

Wish me luck xx
