It has been six months since I have been at my “new” job. It feels like much longer but then at points it feels like it’s gone by so quickly.
Things are progressing really well at work, I’m trying to be organised and up to date on all my files. I won’t deny that it is a very stressful job at times, but my team mates sorta help with that element of the job.
Just today I was presented with an opportunity I don’t think I could deny. It’s too good to miss, it’s an important part in making this firm even bigger than it already is and involves the Internet in a big way. I along with one of my current team mates will be a part of it. I won’t go into the full details, until it’s actually fully confirmed but it definitely means exciting times ahead.
I want to be a part of something new and different. I am extremely scared/nervous about this at all times. I can’t not take the opportunity with both hands, it just feels like my current team mates may not be happy about it. I will still be near them but just not in their team, it will feel weird but it’s all part of progressing. I wouldn’t want to miss out on an opportunity just because someone else isn’t happy for me. It’s just hard to have both.
Oooo sounds very exciting. Hardly anyone seems to be pleased for anyone else these days… please ignore those people and continue to progress!!
You really don’t need to please anyone…
Goodluck with your opportunity! xx
AW — August 12th, 2010 at 8:02 pmHey AW thank you very much.
It felt a bit like that.
It was definitely a surprise for me as this kinda stuff doesn’t normally happen to me, I actually didn’t know what to say at all. Until it happens I’ll still feel a bit shocked by it x
Poonam — August 12th, 2010 at 8:35 pmSounds great!! jump at the chance. We’ve a lot of stress in our place because there has been a pay freeze for a while. So people dislike when other people get opportunities.
travisthetrout — August 12th, 2010 at 10:00 pmSounds great!!
Michael — August 13th, 2010 at 10:17 amTroutie – that doesn’t sound nice at all. Especially when times are still bad. I hope it gets better!
Michael – thank you
Poonam — August 13th, 2010 at 7:18 pmI was only of the lucky ones. But can’t help feel bad for everyone else.
travisthetrout — August 13th, 2010 at 8:16 pmOh no
I hate that feeling
Poonam — August 13th, 2010 at 8:23 pmPoonam, Trouty – stop feeling bad for other people. If they worked harder or as hard as you they’d be potentially be the ones with the opportunity and the promotion. Quit being so nice and enjoy the reward for the effort you have clearly put in into your work!
AW — August 13th, 2010 at 9:19 pmCongrats on being one of the lucky few to be chosen! It shows that your work isn’t going unnoticed.
Locksley McPherson Jnr — August 15th, 2010 at 5:57 pmAW – it’s just hard to know that other people didn’t get it and they may be upset at me for getting it. I will definitely enjoy the rewards, it’s taken long enough!
Poonam — August 15th, 2010 at 7:20 pmThanks Locksley
