What I realized when I got home as I allowed my thoughts to run is that this scene is sort of a wish come true. These past few months of coming in and out of depression had me wanting a new life to start over. Living today made me know just that. This is the very talked about working life. Life after this will be different before it hits plateau again. My lifestyle as I know it will be changed in the coming days as I get accustom to this new one. Hopefully all will be well. Boy I'm tired. Ta!

Start of A New Life.
The moment the bus started moving, the music on my phone had shuffled to a Simple Plan track and it was one of those songs which has this rock like beat which makes you feel like jumping and tossing your head down up. I immediately felt the assurance that the day would be good as it started off with such a timely good kick. Arrived at the designated building about an hour later and I was all excited yet very much at peace. Then the day started off with the bosses and people in charge introducing themselves, followed by a brief induction on the general guidelines of the working environment. Quite a number of the bosses I will be answering to are from India and I took delight in hearing their accent. I'm just a bit afraid that if ever I make a mistake, and would be getting the lecture from them, I'd have a hard time keeping a straight face listening to them scold with their accent. In this department, we were told that we are the pioneering batch. Deep down, I was very pleased to hear that and am grateful for every bit of it. This means that I have indeed chosen the right job to start of with. This would be a huge stepping stone for future career plans as to be in the first batch of a newly started project is a fact worth boasting about in any resume. I feel quite proud of myself too that I happen to be the youngest person on the team. I was just telling dad that it was a miracle for me to have even gotten this job considering 'O' levels to be my highest education level and me being without any working experience (Starbucks not counted). The other newly hired colleagues of mine excluding Lydia and Sharon will be a great bunch worth discovering. Already have I noticed so many different personality traits that I can't wait to explore. After lunch, we were trained the basics and though the slight difficulty in understanding new terms, I think that I had managed to catch on fast. Only thing that bothered me the entire day was my sleepiness and hunger. I slept only for about two odd hours the previous night and ate nothing but two slices of pizza for the entire day, which happens to be the managers' treat for us, "Only for two-day ya!" accented Amit when we showed typical joy on getting free stuff.
