Christmas comes early this year. I worried that it might be disaster, unpredictable avalanche to my future. That all comes to a confident agreement when I ended up sharing my joy with my gf. Waited for her to finish her meeting, and let her finish speaking before I share the good news with her. I've switched jobs~!

She has always reminded me that an engineer is not suppose to be working 3000 hours a year. But this is even a surprise to me when my collegues told me about it. I've only join the company for 6 months as an Industrial Engineer, learn a bit of testers and board repairs here and there nothing much worth mentioning about. But since the company went through an reorganization, I've been moved to a new department called Central Engineering. From some I heard is a better job prospect, while others tell me that I might not be learning as much as my current job.

During job orientation, I've already asked one of the department manager if they encourage people to move around and learn from other areas. Over 30 years of history, usually people like us are not encouraged to move. But I've only been there for the shortest time, this might have been a record to them.

I have totally no idea what I'm going to do there, my job description, how my new boss is like, and what the product they are manufacturing. Good part is, I'm not in the manufacturing line any more, and hence I can concentrate more on the development of new products, new process, and improvement in the companies operations. Besides that, hopefully I will be able to be sent for trainings (finally!) which is like once in a blue moon for my current position.

I will miss my collegues which have been teaching me a lot, guiding and supporting me despite my insufficiency. At the mean time, I'm looking forward to the new challenges lying ahead of me. Like what CBT says, "What could be more worse than your current job? Think positive."
