It's been awhile since I've posted anything. A lot has changed in the past two months and I guess it is time for an update. The real big news is I'm moving! Back to Beijing, my hometown. I got a new job. More on that later. The move will take place in less than two weeks. I haven't done any packing or new apartment hunting because it hasn't hit me yet. Things have been moving very quickly. The entire interview to signing process took about a month, then last week I turned in my first resignation letter, which was very exciting and scary all at once. Crazy crazy.
Anyway, so about this new job and all. It's another US firm, based in Atlanta, funnily enough. The move was mostly fueled by my passionate hatred for my boss. No need to delve deep into that but let's just say that he is a passive-aggressive maniac and I cannot imagine what working for him for any longer would be like, especially as I work my way up the ladder and have to talk to him all the time. He's like a happiness vampire. Other than him as a person, I wasn't happy about how the firm treated employees, so I said sayonara bitches!
It wasn't an easy decision to make. A lot of people said I should try to stay at a job for at least a year or else it looks bad. I think there's a lot of truth to that, but when the move feels right, I think you got to go with your guts. It's a little unfortunate that my first job didn't turn out to be an amazing experience, but I did learn a lot from it and met some great people. I am looking forward to this new chapter of my life. I think I will happily work those long hours for a boss I respect.
Other than serious job stuff, I am not excited about moving again. I am a little worried about how to take my plants back. They're like my babies. Before I realized how likely the move was, I started to venture into some serious herb gardening. Right now, I have mint, basil, dill and thyme pots, which I grew from the seed. That's right! From seed! It's so awesome. I will take pictures sometime <3
