Yesterday afternoon, leaving work, I turned back, looked at my desk, and smiled with relief, a sense of accomplishment. I survived a month!
It was a very exciting month. I had to delve in to the depth of a problem from day one. I also had training and other deliverable demanded by other departments with strict due dates to meet. I dropped the ball a couple times which is so unlike me and made me criticize myself more than I should. Yet I did it all. So I am so hopeful for the second month to come. I think I have better hold of this all. My manager, although absent half of this past month for different reasons, has been really supportive and really encouraging.
I am now juggling this new role with my family and a new masters and a new home. We bought a tiny little house in a cole de sac one block away from a well ranked elementary school at the southern western point of San Jose. What I love about the house is that it has a third bedroom I call "the guest room". I am so excited to have stay over guests from now on who can enjoy the comfort at Chez Midnight! That does not apply to this trip of my dear S this time, they need to share the room with A again as we wont move until another month or so.
I have missed watching a nice movie. A very very very nice movie, the kind that engages your mind for some time.
I told A I liked it when it got dark. He said he liked it when it got light and we turned the lights off. I liked that he had such a defined opinion about his liking.
And the second month in marketing begins...

Congrats for your new home.
have you seen "Forrest Gump" movie? it is very ..... nice.
There is also English Patient which I love.
Thanks maman! U & ur cuties are of course welcome to visit bay area & stay with us.
Thanks for movie recommendations. I've watched them both and liked them both very much too.
Happy New Home Leila jan :-)
As for the movie, I strongly recommend "the secret in their lives" which I think won the oscar of best foreign film this year or last year. And if I may, I also recommend that you do not read much about the story beforehand and let the movie take you along a fabulous story that would linger in your mind for days to come.
Thanks SS joon! Hope to have you and your H over some time soon.
And the name of the movie itself is enticing. Will try to watch, appreciate the recommendation :)
Congratulations on you new house again. We are so exited to share the room with our dear A again :)
We have recently watched some movies and enjoyed the followings:
1)The Unbearable Lightness of Being (I LOVED it!)
2) The American Beauty
3) Blue (In French language)
4) Heat ( Not the whole story...but I liked the way it looked at the interpersonal relationships)
That's for now :)) Hope you like them.
Thx Sali joon:) can't wait to have you here.
Thanks Leila jan for the invitation :-) Hope to see you (this time with family) in Toronto again. BTW, I meant the secret in their EYES, not lives.
