Perhaps I have not been very consistent in updating this page lately, but that doesn't mean my brain hasn't been working.
All in all, the recurring thing that was perhaps a little more significant in this period was settling in. I went to a new workplace, got assigned loads of new work and deadlines, and met new faces at work. It was great considering that most of us have something new to share at the end of the day. What impressed me most was the fact that despite all being attached to different projects under different mentors with very different temperaments, there was still a chemistry shared that was common to us - one that binds even with no words spoken.
Then I moved to a new room, and I have already gotten used to its conditions as well as the common bathroom. It could be my next-to-zero expectations or my increased tolerance, but in so far everything appeared pleasant and satisfactory.
But what intrigued me most was some enlightenment on interpersonal relations issue that dawned upon me as I tread the paths of an RA. True to the saying "
You can please some people all the time, or everybody sometimes; but you can never please everybody all the time". I guess that's most useful for the time being. "Don't take it to heart," said Rabbit.
I am just going to do all that's appropriate and right, and if I get renewed, good for me. But if I don't, at least I know I don't get fired because I haven't done my job properly (:
