Today is marked as the day of travelling through thruways for the first time in my driving history. It was a good day. The place where I live now is known for its scenic beauty. Sadly, I couldn't enjoy it as much. But, bimmers have a way to make your ride more joyous than usual. You get respect... at least you're too full of yourself to think so.
If I had internet two days back I could have written about my first paycheck and about getting my degree certificate mailed to my house. It was like that day was meant for good news. Also, I spoke to my CEO on the same day. It was more of Hi, how are you doing today. But at least I wasn't tongue tied. You may think it's not biggie but it meant a little more to me. And here's why..
When I was with HP, I was really proud of the company. It all started from a garage and it has come a long way since then. I always wanted to work from the HP head office at Palo Alto, hoping to see Mark Hurd walking by..greeting people..saying hello. Now, coming back to the current setting. I work in the same place where my company initially started. It's not a garage but a house and two trailers parked outside. So basically the living room is where our cubicles reside with a loaded kitchen and the trailers are the conference rooms. It's warm and nice. I love it... especially the drive there... the never ending fields, mountains, lakes. Well, I have to enjoy it while I can, coz we are moving in a month's time to the new office. It's 1.7 miles from my place. This ride is also going to be interesting, there'll be planes flying over my head. oooo I can't wait.
I think I lost track for a bit there. Lets get back on it...I take my own decisions now.. I call the shots..I'm a big girl. :) I like where I am now and what I'm going to become. I need to find myself... I feel I'm just not behind the wheel of my car anymore.. it's my life I'm controlling...
In Control,
Me
Great title and creative way to wrap that last line up!
ReplyDeleteIf you are CEO of a company one day, I am guessing it would be your priority to be very employee-accessible - I wonder why CEOs aren't more like this. I guess they are so busy. And also I'm sure there are plenty of annoying employees that are star-struck or have annoying complaints 24-7.
