In My Mid-Third Week

Yes. I, myself, am a little surprised about it. But this is for real. I am currently in the middle of my third week in my new job. I’m not saying that it is unbelievable that I had toiled working again. Of course not, it is not a hard-to-believe-news; unlike having a Beverly Hills breast augmentation. Yes, the latter is something not so me. But what I’m pointing out here is that, time do flies too fast. I can’t even pace with it, ha ha.

Anyway, the thing that struck me the most in my new job is this almost cliché-ic conversation that I used to have in almost everyone in the office:

Colleague 1: Hi! You’re new here?
Me: Hello! Yes, it’s my first week.
Colleague 1: So, what language were you using? Java?
Me: No. PowerBuilder.
Colleague 1: (With amazement) What’s PowerBuilder?
Me: (Confused on how to explain it) Hmmm, it’s like Visual Basic.

Well, yes, it’s been like that for a week or two. Almost nobody knows the programming language that I am using. I even have to tell them which companies were actually using the same language. Well, it just feels like discussing Beverly Hills tummy tuck is easier to discuss. Anyhow, there are some who knows what PowerBuilder is. And I am thankful for that.

Anyway, I guess I am adapting swiftly in my new work environment. I guess being in Singapore for six months did help me a lot. It had improved my personality as well as developed my independence; hence, my situation right now. And more importantly, God guide me to nice co-workers. Yes, I need not to undergo rhinoplasty Los Angeles just to feel welcome and be accepted by my colleagues. Furthermore, I don’t feel so alone (eventhough I’m the only PowerBuilder peep out there) as everybody is willing to extend a help and answer my queries.

Still, in everything, I thank You Lord!
