Trying My Best Shot

Working in one of the prestigious Companies have numerous perks. One of these is sending their employees for a business trip.

When I learned that I'll be assigned to a new assignment, I was hesitant. Hesitant 'cause I didn't know what it will be and it all started like this...

On our way home, my manager once asked me if I'd be comfortable if I'd start my work hours at 1 p.m. (1-10pm shift). Then I said to myself before I could utter something to her, "What?! We only have 2-hour difference with my customers so why would I care suffer my normal work life." At first, I told her it might be difficult for me to change my shift since I live quite far from the office. But hey of course, she told me to think things over... Hmmmm...

And then came another interaction with my manager, and then I told her firmly that "No, I'd still want my original shift yadda yadda yadda..". But then to my surprise, she told me that there is a plan to move me to a later shift because of the new assignment, for the European markets. So right then and there, I changed my mind without blinking an eye and told her I'll accept it and don't mind what I said initially. ehheee..

And it's the start, my work life begins to change. I'll be going to Newcastle for a business trip for a series of work transitions. It's a priviledge... which I'm not sure I'm worthy of. But I know, it's worth proving to everybody that I can do it.

Currently, I'm in UK.. sulking in my hotel room trying my best shot.
