Thank you for your support…

It’s been a hectic two weeks. New workplace, a new set of colleagues, challenges and opportunities… But with the good has come some not so good. Minion’s been sick almost the full week with a bad case of viral fever and cough. I took a day off, my sister pitched in for another two days and the playschool has been super supportive as well. So even though it was difficult to leave him at his playschool every morning at 7 20, it really made me appreciate the value of good support. I can try doing things on my own but I won’t be able to. That is a fact. I’ll need the help of people, and irrespective of whether the help is from family, people I pay for, or the help or kindly strangers who listen to a frazzled and worried mum on the metro and tell her to persist ‘coz it’ll get better, this help is highly appreciated and welcome. Thank you all. And hopefully Minion will be mostly better by Monday…

Excited about new opportunity!

Yay!

So in case anyone’s still interested after a delay of nearly 1.5 months, I finally joined a new place and today was my first day! It did not tick all the requirements I had sort of listed down last time, the biggest offender being the 2 hour commute (one way). But the position is definitely a step up in terms of responsibility as well as compensation. I will be working outside my comfort zone in the sense that I am the project lead and thus responsible for keeping a team of 6-8 very bright young people on track and excited. Technologically too I should be able to work in new skill areas, most likely android app development. The company is as startup working in the micro-logistics space that is heavily invested into the technologies involved.

I hope things go well 🙂

More later.
