Change is good

I started working in a different work location today. I was bit apprehensive of this move because it will mean a complete change in my routine.

As the day progressed though, I could feel a sense of contentment settling in me. I like the spacious work area and wide desk space. And most of all, I like the view. I missed having a view when I work and for me, having a desk beside a window is a very welcome treat. (In my previous employer high above in the 25th floor, I could see the waters of the Bay and enjoy looking at the mountain ranges that surround me. It was great!)

The new location is quiet and is very conducive for uninterrupted work. I don’t hear the never-ending babble of a co-worker who is now safely based in another location. His absence made it possible for my brain to rest and not be clogged with his sarcastic and irritating comments. I guess there is the blessing there!


It felt like I was in a real office now. I no longer felt like I was in a sardine can cramped with 60 other fishes. I could actually freely move without having to worry about hitting someone’s head when I stretch my arms to yawn. Time flies quickly and I get to accomplish a lot more work. And to top it all, at the end of the day, I don’t feel as tired when I was in the old location. I actually feel excited to go to work!

When a friend of mine asked me how did I find the new location, I couldn’t contain my excitement. She was laughing at my obvious enjoyment of the place. She summed up the entire experience for me though in 3 words:Change is good! And I couldn't agree with her more!
