i can see the light..
my understudy came this morning! yup the end is finally near and the cycle revolves. it reminds me of how i first reported to work on the first day, 28 feb 2006 to be exact- entering an office of unfamiliarity, trying my very best to grasp new knowledge, overcoming the steep learning curve, swearing how sucky a staff officer's job can be, trying hard to keep awake when my upperstudy handed over stuff to me...and now here i am, becoming the upperstudy, saying almost exactly what my upperstudy has told me previously to my understudy, saying how fast this 1.5 years will pass, how to work smart...
did most of my HOTOing (handing-over-taking-over) today and i have yet to finish. it's only when i penned down everything that i have been doing and need to pass over did i realise that.. hmm actually i have been doing quite a lot of stuff in contrast to the popular belief otherwise. in fact, i have to pass my current workscope to three different people: my actual understudy to handle my main job; one to handle the bio projects; the other one to take over the reorganisation portfolio.
somehow for the past 6 months, it seems to be the busiest period of my time here, mainly because of frequent change of top management, immediate superiors, new ideas and beliefs that different people hold and entrust u to fulfill. in fact, till this day i am still having on-going work to be done (things which i want to finish during my residual time left). perhaps jarrod is right, i shouldn't be taking anymore new roles/tasks now.
anyway, days to ORD - 2mths 4days (haven't accounted for 29 days of leave and 36 days of off-in-lieu and the weekends). so theorectically, i shouldn't be around anymore. but of course, it doesn't really work that way. i have told myself that i need to ensure that my understudies need to be at least comfortable working alone before i can officially retire. but i am sure justin will settle well in due course, esp with nice people around.
hmmm as i am typing this, i am starting to miss my times spent here oredi, the times with fellow friends in block 701.. but having said that, life still has to move on, isn't it?
