A Brand New Beginning...

It's been a long time since I blogged...

I've been packed with work these days. I probably worked beyond the norm 6.30pm in office. That's because there's a new lady, a friend of a colleague. She is taking over my current position after making a job switch from JP (our investment neighbour). Although I am not the mentor of this new colleague (her friend is), I am supposed to hand over the work to her. I have no idea how much she get absorb within a week. Ultimately, she will be given the responsibility of the whole team (which is likely my current team). However, my marketing officers also want me to teach her the adhoc stuff occasionally. Honestly, I don't feel comfortable with that because she needs to learn how to crawl before she can walk. Many things I also have to learn on the job. I think given the time constraints, she just need to learn the most important role first.

Luckily, I will be posted to another team to learn the rope for marketing officer as there will be a reshuffling of the whole division and some turnover of staff within the division. My team will comprise of a local but fluent Japanese speaking manager, and an efficient native Japanese officer with the potential to be groom to be the next manager. In addition, I will joined the team as an officer. At the same time, they will be recruiting another new officer to replace a local officer, who is leaving at the end of the month.

P.S. With new power comes new responsibility.
