First Week of Sunshine

I survived the first week of sunshine. It was another adjustment period for me. Technically I was supposed to start last March 1 however something came up. I got annoyed actually on what happened. Last February 28, I got this message:

Unforunately, THE *insert name of project* has been stopped abruptly. Only 4 peopl r reporting 4 nite shft 2nite. F u rcv dis txt, pls dont com n 2nite but u r requestd 2 report mar1 dayshft. Pls txt bak so i'l know u rcvd dis. Tnx.

I read this message when i woke up at around 3-4. I felt mixed emotions. I got depressed cause that meant no more night dif... and as a newbie like me, night dif was a big thing. But on the other hand, I looked forward to working the regular hours at least I would be able to go out during the night and maybe meet new people.

March 1 came. I felt stupid. I felt this different sensation like it was the first day of office. Haha. How shallow of me come to think of it. But then again, technically it was my first day at work... working during the morning that is. I was all dressed up and ready to go and suddenly my phone rang. It was my PM and he told me that I had to come it at night for the rest of the week. Huwow. How great. I had to adjust my sleeping habits all over again. I should have extended my vacation.

Anyway, all that was over. Last Monday I officially started working in the morning. It was stressful going to the office and back home this time. It took me 30 minutes or so just to go to work and at least 45 minutes to get home. I have to dress up this time unlike wearing whatever I got from my closet. The pollution was another negative aspect. The sun blinded me. People freaked me out. The elevator took ages before it arrived. Pantry was crowded. However, things were relatively the same. There wasn't anything to be done. I still hang out with basically the same set of people and am currently meeting new ones which was good. I even found someone cute. Haha. That is another story.

First week is over. How long will I last in this so called corporate world?
