New job.

I’ve started my new job and it’s been uneventful. Not that I haven’t got enough to do, but I don’t seem to be learning anything new (I was expecting the scope to be smaller than what I used to do, but certainly not expected it to be this narrow).

On the plus side, I have lots of flexibility and work life balance (maybe because I have just started), the environment is nice and there are lots of benefits (which I don’t make use of anyway).

Have I gotten bored of the work or the lifestyle in just 2 weeks time? Am I secretly yearning to go back to traveling for work? Maybe I should give myself a few more months to get used to it. Is being nearer to home but further away from challenges/career development what I want right now? Most people in my team are married with kids; which makes me wonder if I have made this move prematurely. Am I well suited to this environment? I know I am capable of contributing a lot more time and effort to work since I do not have any commitments hence the feeling of being ‘underutilised’. But is this a rational feeling or is it a wrong mentality I've acquired throughout these years of slogging endlessly at work?

Anyway, I’m looking forward to Yennader’s b’day next week! Finally something to keep me excited.

In nutshell I am bored :-(
