work update

The past three weeks have been smooth sailing. The work hours aren't bad at all --- most of my colleagues are gone from the office by the official knock-off time. The bosses have been fairly liberal with what I should read up on. I feel they're a bit too laissez-faire for my good, in fact.

My only minor gripe is the um... gender dynamics. I was never aware of this in my previous workplace, where much more complex factors come into play. Man's protective instinct kicks in when they see an opportunity for chivalry --- it's that old tale of the damsel in distress. Well, sometimes you don't even need the distress part.

Those were just unscientific, unverified, and probably untestable gut-feelings, but did I mention somewhere that I need to trust my intuition more?

Missing you...
