New job

Some of you already know but I have found a new job recently.

I have been working in Travel industry more than 6 years. Now I am in Financial industry. This is a drastic change of industry but not so big change in a sense of being a customer servise person.

I am still not sure if it was a right decision to be in a finance company. In fact, there is not much opportunity to work in travel in dustry. It is either no position, or too low income.

I would like to do something creative. It is hard to know what exacty I really want to do though. Finance was not an option in my mind in the begining but gradually I expanded some more options to search for a job, as it is getting too long to be full time on holiday.

I would stay in my current job for a while until the time I can judge myself to know if this is the place for me or not.

One of the biggest change is that I have a chance to pop in to supermarkets. Previous work was just 30minutes walk, but there is no supermarket on the way. Now I am taking a train everyday and I could buy fresh vegitables everyday if I want to.

Another thing is that I do not do shift work. So now it is easier to join a course after work for example. I might start learning something.

Well, lets see how things goes on, and how I feel in about a few months time.

Well Charu, Kishore did not make industry like this (Did you, Kishore?). I was happy even with low income, that is quite something. Money is important but not everything. So let's ask Kishore to invite us for dinner! (????)
