The First Week
I formally started with the new department this week. I'm still in the same organization but now I am with one where the scope of the work is less 'universally concerned'.
I can't help but create parallelism between starting a first job with starting a new romance.
When you come in to work in the morning you try to look perfect, on time and impressive. Parang when you're on the first few dates, di ba? When you try not to be late, arrive with each strand of hair in place, freshly applied lipstick and with a fresh spritz of cologne.
The first work assignments, you try doubly hard to submit something in perfection. You double check your work many times to make sure it makes sense, it fits the rules of correspondence of the organization and that the fonts, spaces are as prescribed. First date, you make sure you ordered something that wasn't sloppy to eat or too spicy that your nasal passages are dripping through the meal. You are are more conscious of how you chew your food and sipping your drink.
Puro pa-impress ba. You smile a lot, pay attention to how you look, how you deal with people, admit to your mistakes easily. It's a matter of being the perfect person.
Tignan natin next week....!
