Worklife: 1 yr anniversary

First yr anniversary stepping into workforce!

And ironically, will be my last day 1 mth from now in LYE.

Glad that i'm able to say 'sad that i'm leaving'. It was a short stint here, but i probably picked up more things than i expected. Took me 2 weeks to find the right words to say to boss why i need to quit, make it sound more politically correct. It was so blardy different from the last time at WH. I cant wait to get out of OC then, and the last day felt like glory retirement. Over here, i volunteered to stay till the end of Aug so i can finish at least project Newater.

I wont say it's the best time to move on, but some things are out of my control, esp when the king and empire are involved.

Nevertheless, since the tender letter was shot out last monday, there's no turning back now. (sorry dear~dear who had to bear with my whining through the entire saga.)

Its a big step i'm taking, considering these:

1) I'm taking a paycut.
2) I turned down an offer from an aussie MNC (who's also offering 36% higher)

But looking further ahead:

1) 4 yrs down the road, hopefully i get the coveted title.
2) There will be deeper penetration into restricted zones, opening up fresh land to conquer when i return to lead the troops

And in the short run:

1) No work on sats
2) More annual leave :)

Whatever's the case, i'm looking forward to work in LNL.
