Five days in...

So my first week is finally done and dusted.

And I survived. 

Actually I did much better than that.

My new team are lovely. They are very different from my old team but you never compare.

My new boss is so much better. She doesn't second guess me, she doesn't contradict my opinion or take the glory of other people's work, and most important, she isn’t a paranoid control freak who cares more about pleasing the powers above than supporting and caring about the people that make him look good.

Meow!

I know it’s a little catty but it’s well-deserved.

A friend of mine last night mentioned how relaxed I look.

I feel relaxed, I look relaxed and I feel like a weight has lifted off me and I can rest easy now.

All the stress, anxiety and migraines were all a direct result of my old boss and work and now it’s gone.  

I am so relaxed that I actually almost felt the need to skip some parts of my walk to work the other day.

I was listening to Don’t Worry, Be Happy by Bobby McFerrin and it was a sunny cold morning in Canberra and as I walked the twenty minutes to work, I felt like skipping. I have not felt this way for some time. Actually, the time I felt like this was when I started dating my boyfriend. But work-wise, I have never felt like that.

It’s lovely.

And free.
