The past months—months where I have written less and less of my dealings—have been filled with the most interesting, serendipitous turns of events since I can remember.

It feels like so long ago, when I went on a vacation to Florida and discovered that I did not belong in the occupation that I was in. Despite that, whenever I think back on the week when I got back from that vacation, I was filled with the greatest excitement towards a change whose full effects would be unknown to me until only recently. I can remember how relieved I felt when I got hired where I work now the Monday right after I got back from my trip. It alleviated a sense of fear of the unknown and of unemployment that I had, because new job or not, I had decided on leaving my old occupation.

It was that bad where I used to work, where my supervisor deceived me through omission, where the best and the hardest working ended up picking up everyone else’s slack and yet would get no recognition.

It’s almost five months since then. It was five months in my old job when I decided to quit, and yet now, I feel well acclimated to what I am doing these days and I have no intentions of quitting. Not that there has been a lack of change in my life; the tables have turned and in more ways than one, I am someone’s supervisor now.

And one thing I have learned from my old supervisor was that I am to never lie to my employees. Then again, I am a person for whom candor serves as both a greatest strength and greatest weakness. And while there are now so many more challenges to face in my day to day occupation, with a team that is more than adequate to face our needs, I am now beginning to settle into a rhythm that I have not felt I have had in a long, long time.

I find myself reading fewer and fewer blogs. I have no care for the news and I only watch a few TV episodes. I am, however, getting back into the swing of writing both in my personal journal, and I think that I am ready to pick up writing online yet again. With no need for fanfare other than that yearning to have something to say, I welcome myself back online.
