2014 - Month #2
New adventure for 2014 - it kicked off with a new job! The land of Mad Men!! :D
Was absolutely thrilled when I found out that the agency that's I'll be working with (if they hired me) - is Leo Burnett. Rumour has it (its a pretty well-known rumour) that Mad Men is made based on some aspect of Leo Burnett.....and its just exciting to think that I'm going to experience the LB hype!
Well, of course, having gone through almost 9 years of working experience, I knew that its not always a bed of roses, in fact, even if it is, it comes with thorns at the stem of it. That's life - reality kicks in hard! :D
First assignment on the job was gruesome - so many things to understand, absorbed, and the worse of the worst ? The realization that my level of efficiency had deteriorated after 1 year of honeymoon at my previous employment. Its a wake up call - that while having an easy job is nice and relaxing, it does not really help one to developed and I'm nowhere in my life where I have enough of learning and looking for a set routine! That's one for finding the silver lining amidst the chaos of this gruesome assignment.
Am grateful for having a friend to guide me through this, as she had experience it herself when she started with the same role, for another entity within the Group. And all the mental support from Lav, the Musketeers, and the power of God in guiding me through positive thinking and believing that He will give me strength, wisdom and guidance to get through this.
Its my 3rd assignment now, and I am seeing a speckle of light at the end of the tunnel......and fingers crossed, I hope I can reach for the light soon!!! Tonight is the first night, where I can comfortably, squeeze in an episode of The Carrie Diaries and chill.........its been a while!! :D
Speaking of Carrie, the Bradshaw in Sex and the City was inspiring with the quotes and opinion about guys, sex, friendship, relationship and being a woman and the younger Bradshaw in Carrie Diaries, continue to remind me that the drive to try and live life no matter what lemon the world throws at you.............and it really help that the Sebastian character is such a dream....ahahahah...gosh, I should be ashamed of myself for gushing about this!!
The truth is, the character of Sebastian is so complex - young and vulnerable, but know enough to care for people he love and have the kindness to sacrifice his own reputation for the good of others - and today's episode is such a winner.....how he put aside what people might think of him selflessly, because he know he is doing the right thing and people's perception of him is less important in comparison to that. Ahh....if only there are more such Sebastian in this world..................
Time to catch up on some beauty sleep before the clock strikes 1 am................and again plan to go gym in the morning, only to happily choose to sleep in....haha.........
