get ready for moving

Ever since the conversation with boss regarding to this education opportunity, I have been amazed with his support and such open-mind handling style. Have to admit, so far, he has climbed to the top of best employers I ever had. well, somewhat, this sounds different, but that is in deed truth. good thing, I do not pass around my blg except putting my thoughts here. I asked myself if I could handle this well and support my staff, being in this situation. Management, what a heavy, yet so much to learn, field.

Getting ready for moving? this is a hard task, which I definitely underestimate the efforts, esp. the emotional connection I had with this place, though Boston is only temporarily.

Where should I start with my place, the books? clothes? music? or just the overwhelming kitchen. Suddenly, I found myself stuck into the typical American life dilemma -- having too much less useful/useless stuff. Without sorting through and through away for couple years, I face the simple, toss or keep, question. oh, my, I need help.

more on the road

For past couple months, there were many things happened. The biggest news was the engagement, which came so sweet and very surprising in the good way. As much as I could decribe the whole story, everyone understands love in the unique way, only one who does not cherish treats it lightly. I am happy to see where I am, and looking forward to the jorney of sharing life with this fine young man. When we prepares to compose a life together, it certainly invovles a continual reimagining of the future and reinterpretation of the past to give meaning to the present.

Stepping into management over several months, I see the growth in me to make adjustment, willingly and unwillingly. On one hand, I find myself enjoying the management of technology very much; on another hand, there are a lot things I need to learn, know and practice, esp. dealing with different personalities. Sometimes, I hide myself inside coding to forget those tedious management tasks, but, the transition from technical work to management requires me to focus and experience every new incident. So, if this happens again, I won't be surprised.

One year waiting for the paper did not go as the plan I had. Instead of wondering or even complaining, I will take a step to go to execute the plan. Cheer up, the unknown can be great in this journey!
