One year already

Today is the first anniversary of my current job. A year ago, I had started it, wondering what was going to happen. I was getting back in the private sector after many failed attempts to make a career in education, I was uncertain and unfamiliar about my new working environment and was very nervous. I had no idea where I would be in a year's time. To be honest, I am sometimes a bit surprised I made it to permanence.For the first six months, I felt like a fraud.

Today is much different than a year ago: there is no heatwave, I am of course familiar to the place and the work and it was just another day at the office instead of the first day. To be honest it is not my dream job, but I like it much better than I thought I would and it is maybe the best working environment I have been in. And after the disappointments and bitterness of the jobs I had before, I cannot complain.
