Thoughts...

It’s almost 1am in the morning and I can’t sleep. I just realised I’m turning 23 this year.

I have all these thoughts running through my head at the moment – career pending questions. What do I want for this year? How am I going to get where I want to be? How detail should I plan my career out? Should I plan? I’m scared and confused.

I then think of where I am now and wonder if it’s where I really want to be. Am I where I thought I’d be? What do I want? I don’t know.

14 months have passed since I first joined IBM. I was new and naïve. I didn’t know what to expect and took my role as a Graduate for granted. I’m now in my second year of work and I feel like I haven’t progressed much. I feel like I SHOULD have progressed further but as I haven’t acted upon much, it makes sense that I haven’t progressed as far as I would have liked. I need to change.

I need to change my way of thinking. I need to think about my career more seriously and I need to plan out what I want out of this job. Who do I want to be? What role do I want to play in this corporate world? I need to set it out, be more professional and I need to act now.

I’m taking my first “career-setting” action today and will see how it goes. Wish me luck! I wonder if maturity will heighten because of this. Perhaps so.

Today the sun will rise
And life will bloom.
The world will work
As I sit in my corner and ponder
About the way things are.
Midday will set
And stomachs will be filled
With shared laughter.
The sun will fall
With the world at its knees.
And you will retire
With sadden eyes
To the comfort of sighs
And think, is this all?
Is this all to the risen sun?

So that means you've been on voda for 14 months? Well that's probably a good starting point if you want to do some career setting actions.
