Tuesday, March 28, 2006 surprise surprise surprise

I was called in by my boss and was told to sit down. That was at 5.30pm. I knock off from work at 6pm. I was surprised when she asked me to sit down. Oh God, this was bad, I thought. She asked me if I want to be transferred to another department. I have been waiting to tell her this for many years but when I heard it from her all of a sudden, I was taken aback. I was not sure anymore. But I replied 'Yes' and I explained to her why I want to get out from here. She agreed with me and she said it will be good for me as well to get more exposure. Now the next question was where I will like to go. I have no answer for that. I am not sure if I will enjoy my work anymore in another department. What if…? I was really confused the last few days. I talked with few of my colleagues and most of their words were discouraging. As usual harp was the one who encouraged me again. She has been with me, sitting beside me, for the last 6 years and she knows me more than any other person. I kept asking her if it was good or bad to be asked for a change. I believed in her words and yes I am looking forward to the move. It is best to do it now and I don’t think I will regret my decision. Soon there will be news about my transfer and I am not sure if I will blog as much as I do now. I pray that I perform well in my job and learn more in the course of my work.

So I thought my boss was concern for my next promotion but I was wrong in my judgment. It all happened because I opened my big mouth in that interaction session I had with the HR management about learning new skills and blah blah blah. Well is it good to be so upfront??? I have to wait and see.
