In the system

Today I joined the system, as some like to call it; today I had my first official day at work. I will be working on HR a company in Tg.Mures. It was really nice "first day", it was a day that made me realize how time goes by and our lives change.

It’s strange how we like to play when we are little, how we like to pretend we are adults and we have different jobs but when we are adults we would like to be again kids and play, have no responsibilities and just live the days as they come, never worrying about the future because our parents are there.

Unfortunately or maybe luckily we can not turn back time we can just enjoy the present and plan the future. Now we can take our own decisions and work hard to reach our objectives.

As many others colleagues and friends I started a new beginning, hopefully a really nice one because I like the things that I will do (as far as I had the chance to analyze my job description).

Wishing all my friends great “beginnings”

Workaholic

A workaholic is a person who is addicted to work.

Am I a workaholic? Some say I am, I think I’m still searching for the right answer.

It’s not that I’m addicted to work, or I like working very much it’s just that I like to get involved into things, I like to be useful, to do something not just waste time in front of my TV, playing sudoku on the computer or going to Weekend.

For the first time in the last years a have holyday. I graduated and now I’m on holyday, no more meetings to attend, no more projects to get involved into, no more study. For me this is strange because I’m not used in doing nothing. After graduation I got involved in organizing a festival, it was great even if I didn’t have to do much, most of the things were already done, but still it was nice to know that for one week I had something planned every day, I had things to do, and most of all were things that I like doing, I like organizing, plus the people I worked with are great. But now that the festival is over I look into my agenda and I see just blank spaces, no more meetings, no more stuff to do.

Yesterday I was chair for a Big Picture in AIESEC. It was nice, I missed AIESEC, I missed attending LC meetings, finding out what they have done since I left the organization. Still one day here, one day there is not enough on my agenda :)

Some say “get a job” well I’m not in a hurry of doing that, I know that at the right time that will happen but until then I want to enjoy doing things that I like, getting involved in things that I love to do. I want to be surprised with opportunities that come ahead this summer.

In the end, I don't consider myself a workaholic, I'm just proactive :)
