I'll take what I can get.



Today is the end of three long and, in some way, worthful work weeks. To summarize, I must say that passing time inside the bank facilities has advantages and disadvantages; many days, including the first week, resulted in being very difficult to adapt and take the pulse of this new job.


I realized that I couldn't accomplish all things in one day alone, and it is more important to get good job partners than the abilities you can fetch.


The pay is not so much, but I took this job because of the experience I can get throughout these few months inside the work. Since then, I have learned new things from my job team and surroundings.


Time is relative; some days, I have felt like there is no longer time to do all I supposed I have to do, and on others, I have felt like the time was eternal.


My focus and motivation are changing throughout the days, too; I realize that I can't waste my time thinking about useless things that can drain my energy and focus; instead, I can use that energy some do other things or simply be in the present.


Leaving the comfort zone is something that I have always been struggling with since I came here; I had to defeat the shyness and be willing to do and talk with strangers and ask them about some technical kinds of stuff, among other things.


This new month I hope to apply the knowledge and the experience I have learned and put into practice to do a correct job.

Working life has introduced me to a whole spectrum of folks, spanning different ages and backgrounds. It's fascinating how age can influence the dynamics within a group. Back in college, my peers were typically within the same age range as me, roughly 20 to 25. But stepping into the workforce erased that age barrier entirely.  In my interactions, I've noticed some distinct patterns. The younger crowd tends to wear their hearts on their sleeves, valuing ideas and relationships above all else. On the flip side, the older and mid-life crew often prioritize climbing the career ladder and accruing material success. Bosses come in all shapes and ages too. Seasoned veterans bring a calm, empathetic vibe to the table, having seen it all before. On the other hand, the millennial bosses I've encountered can be a bit more... fiery. They're quick to react and slow to forgive, making them a bit of a challenge to work with. Sure, millennials might be shaking things up and spearheadin...

Another trip twelve years later

It has been a while since I finished high school, those were some of the best moments I have ever lived, my high school had a vast surface extension, many buildings and sections, and many classrooms crowded with hundreds of students. There, I studied for almost six years, I met good friends, some love and splendid moments that bring me a smile each time I recall. I never thought I missed my time there, when I was a teenager I swore I'd never turn back my sight to that place, now twelve years later I come back to the place that built me as a person. Last weekend, I had to work as an assistant for the referendum election in my country, as the last time I worked in the same position, I already knew what that job meant. To my surprise, the place was my old high school. I felt a nostalgia mixed with foreignness, I was part of that place for many years, but I felt like a stranger when I came back, many places were stagnant in time. I could visit my first classrooms just to find they were...

Prioritizing my to-do list

Since I started to document and follow my routine, endless things undone have reminded me that I need to make them time because they are also important. This feeling generates a guilty sentiment and anxiety for not giving them enough attention. But how do I prioritize among many significant things? Doing exercise is important, eating healthy too, studying and applying for jobs are equally important, but what receives more attention? what is not essential? This situation of deciding what requires more attention has put me in a challenging situation. Do I need to sacrifice my exercise routine to study more? What if I focus only on one thing at a time? While I worked my English routine decreased, and my motivation to study too, because as I mentioned before I was putting more time into either working or exercising. I thought I would have more time to do many things when I was younger, but the reality was different. Being an adult means you need to put some dreams aside if you want to avoi...
