Random thoughts of nervous soul

Cos
... today is my last working day at my firm and I don't like changes
... I have no idea how I am going to fare from tomorrow in a totally new place with lots of new people and new kinda work. What if no body talks to me :( :( *sniff sniff*

I have a colleague of mine who is now a neighbor and I sometimes do catch him crossing the courtyard to work. From Wednesday if I see him, I am surely going to think about my last place. From my living room window, I can see the bus that used to ferry me to and from my office. Whenever I catch a glimpse of it, I am going to have mixed emotions.

I know in the bigger picture of things all this is going to melt away. Soon I will get on with my new work place, maybe get someone to talk to :) 

I was asked to join immediately post completion of my current role. Which means the big 'break' I was fantasizing about is never going to happen. I anyways have taken a couple of days off to get some shopping done, sort out my wardrobe, get the fridge packed with all grocery to last a week since I won't have the luxury of being able to shop after work. Why you ask. Oh I forgot to mention I will be working full time going forward. Which give the additional jitters. I have been used to working 5 hours everyday for the past 16 months. 5 hours makes the morning and 2 hours of the afternoon. Which gave me time to sort out chores at home and take care of the little birdie. I have no idea how a full working day is going to feel like. It is going to be 7 hours everyday which  is a mere addition of 2 hours, but then, I have no idea whether they will feel like 2 never ending hours, or nothing at all. Only time will tell.

The kid also has to stay extra.I have been acclimatising her to this imminent change by keeping her a bit longer every day. But  some days I make the surprise visit and pick her up sooner too. If nothing else, it is the 'option' that I felt I had of picking her anytime I wanted after 1430 depending on what I intended to get done. Now that option is going away. I hope that she adjusts fine and likes her slightly longish stays.

I hope all goes well and settles in a jiffy. It will take quite  a bit of time am sure, it is going to be a run for sanity as we scramble through home and work. It will definitely be interesting
