First day high and low

Today is my first day of work... again.

This is my third job at the age of 24. They say it's but normal for my age to jump from one job to another in search for a company that will be suited for me. The question is when will I realize that I need to stay in a company or not. I really don't know the answer. Anyone?

I woke up today at exactly 4:45 am. I showered and dressed up like a gunner. Had a coffee and pancit canton for breakfast. I left around 5:50am and arrived at the shuttle terminal by 6:00am. From there, I took the shuttle that will transport me directly to the ortigas business center at Mandaluyong. I arrived too early aroung 6:30am. I'm an hour earlier. The sun began to rise and the sun rays touched my asian skin. As I walked along sheridan street, I can't help but to admire the beauty of that morning - sun shining brightly, the sky is wide and clear and the cool breeze of the morning air. It's supposed to be a good start.

Having arrived an hour earlier, I wandered around the plant. I checked the canteen, the recreational area, the parking lots and lastly the chapel. It was where I stayed the longest time during that morning. I thanked God for the marvelous morning I witnessed outside. I thanked Him for giving me this job. I asked for His guidance and presence in every second of my life.

Office hours start at exactly 7:30am. I left the chapel around 7:15 and stayed on the reception area of the HR department where I am tasked to submit some important documents as pre-employment requirements. As soon as my HR contact emerged from the room, I quickly handed to her the remaining requirements. I thanked her and left quickly. I went directly to the risk management department where my small space on early is located. The office is an all-boys office. The place is small yet big for the five of us.

Everything went so smooth during the late morning and early afternoon. Later on the afternoon, I was given instructions by my immediate superior and told that if I could render overtime. "bibo kid" as I am, I said "yes" without any second thoughts. I understand the gravity of the project we are dealing with. but later on as I am working on it, I really can't figure out what to do. I stared at my computer screen for about an hour until I realized that it's useless and inefficient if I will stay longer in the office. So I packed my things up and left.

Now, I have mixed emotions. I feel so high because finally I got the job I wanted. At the same time I feel troubled because I was not able to accomplish my first assigned work.

I guess it's but normal for new employees. I am a new employee and this is my first day.... again.
