New Job, New Challenges

It’s always exciting when you start a new job. Butterflies in your stomach, you know your first weeks are what counts. You want to give a good impression to your colleagues, walk that extra mile, and keep output at a constant flow. It’s also a buzz, new people, new challenges and definitely some new objectives you want to make sure that you just don’t meet but exceed. I always put the bar high, some people might say too high. So when external circumstances (or due to your own mistakes and shortcomings) makes it difficult to meet them, you might not only face the original problem but also one of an entirely different nature.

Well, I like to believe that in the past year, having made a concerted effort to set some work and private goals, and foremost grow….as a human, I’m on the right track.

My new job is in Naarden and thus a little bit further than my previous job in Amsterdam. It means waking up early (I’m thinking 6.45), go for a 40 min run and then hit the shower. It will need to require more organisation, and I foresee some interesting challenges. But as someone wise said, problems are only opportunities in disguise. And on that note I will have to love you and leave you, because my train is approaching Amsterdam Central Station.

Wish you all a great day, and a fab week!
