Today suddenly Mr Nose told me it is his last day at his office at Textile Centre because he has been transferred to the CBD area. It then reminds me of Ms Pooh saying she might be moving on soon... I mean people move, however new things seem to happen to me more often than not...
You see change happens a lot in my career. Things like changing boss, changing teams, changing portfolio, changing jobs, changing industry, changing seats, changing table, changing water for my money plant in office... The best part is that I can keep still, do nothing (I do work, nothing as in nothing wrong) and things can still change. With the exception of changing jobs + industry, teams disappear, boss get changed for some reason like restructing, realignment, resign, reorg and anything that comes with 're' or I move with the portfolio because my ex-boss got swallowed by a shark, wolf or something with a big mouth.
Change is so frequent that I have decided to have as little personal belongings as possible, so that I can moved easily. If I were to move now, I just need to pick up my money plant, take the 1 photo of me and Ms K in office, a photo frame of my classmates (Ogilvy Masterclass) and my namecards. Thats all... Light and easy...
You see it is actually quite tiring to keep changing, your confirmation appraisal is written by 1 boss (good review of course) then your mid year appraisal is written by another boss, then at the end you realise your year end appraisal is going to be written by another boss. You built rapport with someone, look forward to learning from the person and you feel settled down, then realise the person is leaving due to 're-' (yes it is the this word again, in fact you can fill in a few variations). Of course there are good things like retirement and promotion (this is the exception of 're').
The good thing about this is that I am always making new friends......
