Though I was the one who initiated this change since I wasnt too happy with my ex-boss, I still relatively feel uneasy...I find it difficult to adapt to this new job function since it's something really different from marketing management, which is my CORE skills! This job now involves a lot of processes and I need to be extra detailed and extra thorough.
Someone just came asking me yesterday how am I doing with my new job.
I said : "Still a lot to learn....struggling, but trying to enjoy it at the same time!"
She replied : "Positiive attitude will carry you far. Nothing beats working with your difficult ex-boss!"
I said : " Yeah! Struggling with people is equally tough compared to struggling with the job function, but good thing is - struggling with people will never end, and struggling with the job, it takes only some time to get through."
Infact it reminds me of a book which I've read many year

I hope it will not take me too long to find my new cheese station, so I can start enjoying those "cheese" again and be comfortable for a while...

well, i for one have not read it before, but i do get the drift. f you're still within your industry, i think it's easier to find your cheese station... those who move to a new industry might not find it so easily.
Parmesan needs turning once in a while.
zewt - the book is worth a read, go get it or borrow from some1. And I agree with u..since i'm still in the same industry, it's not as hard as a totally new thing to me, but it is challenging to move from marketing to a totally non-marketing related job, trust me...
the reviewer - thx for dropping by...

yeah i totally understand what you are feeling as i'm in the same phase of life as you are, i'm still trying to cope and fit in my new role.
sunshine - thx! I hope this will get over soon...for both u & me...
Changing a job is never easy unless you have a lousy boss. Like for me I was happy to leave my previous job.
Adjusting into a new job is like wearing a new pair of jeans... takes time to season, then it will feel just nice:)
dio brando - i agree and i hope this pair of jeans get seasoned pretty soon...
