I occupied the long weekend with power naps, hanging with mom, grocery shopping, watching football, brief meetings with friends and taking a long long walk. I watched as kids ran past me, laughing, squeeling and chasing each other down the curvy running tracks. A spunky one stopped and 'said' to me, "ice cream!!!!". Bright sparkling eyes shining at the thought of something so simple, I couldn't help but grin so hard. Those carefree days have long gone. I also baked a little. There's something oddly therapeutic about mixing the ingredients together... precise measurements and taking caution not to beat too hard. It's easy and predictable, one goes in after another.
First day at work today was pretty uneventful. Proper introductions when Delia gets in tomorrow I guess. Spent the entire day looking through the Income Tax Act and vetting some tax documents. And I zapped 4 documents! ... Haha.
I'm afraid of disappointment, constantly second guessing my actions. But I know I need to learn to be a lot more confident, carry myself with better grace and poise. First, I need to get over the mindset of, 'I'm not as good as them'.
Nice surprise after work :] Dinner with Audrey and her folks at her place. Freaking awesome to see her again.. It's a brilliant brilliant idea that she's working on right now and I hope everything takes off well. Being exposed to the culture overseas and learning to work with the most discerning and creative of minds is something that is difficult to come by here. One truly learns the most when subjected to people that drag and push them out of their comfort zone.
