A fresh start...

I had my first day at work today, and it was very exciting! Quite intense in a way, but I enjoyed it. What bothered me is that I once again started having those strange "But..." thoughts. I have them no matter WHAT I do: I immediately see negative points, or feel like I don't fit in. Ah Carissa, stop being obnoxious, at least you're not losing your "always be critical" approach...however, sometimes it just doesn't come in handy. I know exactly that if I did marketing for a sports brand for example, that I'd have thoughts like "Oh dear, I can't even wear high heels...", and here I'm having thoughts like "Oh man, I have to look nice all the time, can't I just wear a t-shirt and jeans?". If I worked for the government I'd be thinking "Oh Lord, these people are sooo bureaucratic, and so not business oriented". If I worked for the U.N. I'd probably think "Man, this is sooo not creative and not fun". Now it's more like "Geez, I'm shallow and superficial". With my previous position I was like "Ah, I'd like to work on market level, more hands on". Now, after just one day, I already tell myself "Switzerland is just too small for me...". CARISSAAAA, stop it!!! I shall be grateful again that I am working in marketing for the world leader in selective skincare & make-up & world's nr. 3 in women's fragrances.

My last day at work here was last Wednesday, and I will miss my work colleagues a whole lot...I already do, as a matter of fact. I was with the company since July 2007 after all, and in the mktg dpmt since October 2007. I was very moved because of the cute goodbye present and card, and lunches (two, to be exact), how sweet. Sigh, I need to move on, but I will keep in touch with them. Now, a fresh start with a new company, like I said, and yes, I am excited, yes yes yes. Yes!
