A week has passed and I am still here. A week in a new job and I am glad its over because I found it a lot.
I am not the best person for change but when I think about the long run and where where I want to end up the new job is a very positive change. Where I want to end up I need to make the career change.
Where I want to be I need to work hard. My new Employers do not know I have Asperger’s Syndrome. My auntie who was manager of HR department for a large international company said I should tell tthem ASAP but what I have not said out loud to anyone is, if I do, what if they treat me differently or they decide to terminate my contract because the accommodations they will have to take in place.
I am good at what I do. The problem I have is the social cues. If they ask me to do something like help my colleagues and stick with that or whether they are joking etc.
The benefit from the new job is I can advance to the further education I want. This means what I see myself doing in the future I need to commit to the new job I have been in the last week and fully commit myself to the terms they have laid out. In many ways I do not mind as I can gain confidence with the new training and knowledge after fingers crossed qualifying.
My dream is a good few years away but, I need to tackle this hurdle first then, as far as I am concerned, the world is my oyster and the excitement brewing in me with the thought is wanting to explode and I do not know how I am containing it. I cannot tell whether the excitement is also partly to do with because it all happening around Christmas or whether it is just because I know and hoping for the outcome at the end.
Stay tuned I plan to give weekly updates, worst case 2 weeks.
arrivederci Signore e Signora
