Adaptation

Hello! It's been more than a month since I joined the rat race. No doubt it is a very difficult transition to begin with and I am only starting to get the hang of it. Getting up early for work is a pain. I am pretty certain I have never gotten up earlier than 8a.m for more than 20 occasions over the 365 days in 2009 and I have at least 8 hours of sleep daily in year 2009! Nowadays I only get 7 hours if I am lucky! My office isn't near where I live, so I spend some 60 minutes plus minus on the road to and fro office, it's tiring to drive back after work!

The amount of time I spend in office can be abit crazy too at times. I left office at 0700 in the morning on one occasion in my second week and went back in 3 hours later, leave at 12 a.m + occasionally and at 21.00 on average. My social life is gone if not for my colleagues and it becomes increasingly difficult to keep in touch with friends outside the firm. I'm still adapting and it is getting better by the day.

I will survive with my awesome bunch of colleagues! Apart from the heavy workload and long hours, I like the firm and its people. I'm learning alot and getting lots of exposure working for my team. That's the most important isn't it? Have a good weekend ppl! I enjoy my weekends more than I ever did now. Say hi if you ever see me in court!
