The Payslip Adventure

It's been two months and three weeks and bits of my life are slowly changing.

After the first few weeks at the office, I realized how difficult it is to start an episode of my very own uno-novella. Adjustment is one of my major issues, somehow I feel a bit uncomfortable in my workplace and my ten-too-many bosses and colleagues because they're either too friendly or snubby. But that's okay, the first few months of awkwardness in a workplace is normal, everybody manages to go through with it.

Friends still in school ask me, what's it like to earn?

= Shat

But i have to do it, i don't want to feel empty, bored, and worthless. Working will be a part of me, like for everybody else after graduating. It doesn't matter if you get small pay, or strange bosses, or overlaping projects. What matters most is you are a contributor of service to a community, you are a practitioner of what you have learned from school, and you are happy with what you are up to right now.

It's not all shat. I am happy that i do what i do best from what i've learned from the last five years of college, I am happy i am working for an institution that acknowleges my skills, and most of all, I am happy to go on a big payslip adventure every fifteen days - it's all part of the contract.
