2 choices; 1 path. So I had 2 offers; one with AsureQuality NZ (which basically audits meat processing firms and hmm.... Ribena in NZ) and the other being IAG NZ.

With little thought of course, I've selected IAG NZ. Reasoning is simple; IAG offers a wider range of career opportunities, the chance to move into other business units, multi-national, and specialist industry.

PLUS; my workplace is only about 10 mins walk away from home just down the street, with plenty of off-street parking and the flexi-time structure is a plus as I get to choose the time I want to start. Such an added bonus if you want to see daylight when you reach home!

I guess I'll have to "spiritualise" this a little bit- this whole job-hunt thing had to do with God; a major part of it, no, in fact, all of it had been. You see I've lived a not so spoilt life, I've been working since I finished Form 5 right up until now, even throughout university, and this time around, I prayed that I wanted a professional job, one that provides me good career opportunities in the future and would enhance my skill set and miraculously, just as when my job-hunt seemed to be all doom-and-gloom, God had answered my prayer. He has opened the door for me. It's just so unbelievable, surreal yet fantastic as you see your prayer unfolding before your very own eyes.

My floor is dominated by women. Yup, a whole , say maybe 95% female on my floor. I'm the youngest Asian guy on the floor. In fact, I'm the youngest guy in the whole 2 IAG buildings. I'm often referred to as the "boy" in other's eyes, which is kinda cool I guess, at times. At times that are not-so-cool is that I don't have clicks in the workplace.

I can't find someone my age to relate to. My teammates don't socialise and sit at their desks throughout the break and lunches and I don't actually want to do that as I'm sick of sitting down on that same chair for hours on end. The other males in the building are either middle-aged men (38ish's on average) or those that are already qualified for pension. Freaking unbelievable. But most of my lunches and breaks I spend eating and messaging my beloved honey who keeps me company during those lonely times. Poor ol' me. =(
