Before...After

For the first time i happened to complete my one year with my organisation. I was skeptical this time as well and was too tempted with some opportunities outside but later i decided to stick. An award was given to me infront of the whole organisation which was an overwheleming experience. More than that, a promotion and a new role is given to me, which i have accepted gracefully.

1st march 2006:

I found everything new. It was hard to remember faces. I had to fill so many forms and finally a seat was allocated to me with a system to work on. I kept my volume low and was little shy and hesitant. Just had an hope that dream will surely become my love one day.

1st march 2007:

I have joined another dept and most of my colleagues are known. I am aware of who's who of the organisation. My seat was already allocated. Was little skeptical about the new boss but after meeting him my doubts were gone. He is little short tempered but at the same time is aware of the fact. My role was clearly communicated to me and so was their expectations. Performace in last dept played an important role in bringing me here and second thing which weighted more was my politeness and right attitude.

I missed my department and my boss today. I missed my friends. Most of them have put down their papers and will be gone in few days time. I will miss the quality time spent with them and will cherish these memories forever.

Only thing which went wrong in this whole transition was my conversation with my last boss. I have always respected him and will continue that but somehow i selected wrong words and lost my temper when people tried being diplomatic with me. The worst was when i told them that if u cant meet my expectation then u will have me for next 2-3 months and my dissatisfaction will force me to quit. Quite a blunder. But i apologised later. Trying to cool it down and now telling them that "i dont intend to leave. Forget it, i was quite hyper."

Lesson learnt: Think twice before speaking.
