my first job

fourth layout. completed in february 2010 after leaving my first job at cat.

journaling reads: After three amazing years, I say goodbye to my first job at Caterpillar - a colourful career of many "firsts". I vividly remember packing for my first visits to colossal China and incredible India, panicking over my first blood donation drive and crying the night before my first presentation in mandarin. Over long lunches, extended tea breaks and the occasional work dinner, I found brilliant friends who made my work life sparkle. I will treasure unique memories of these superstars, who supported me through the ups and downs of my relatively short career. I will miss laughing with Soo Wan, philosophizing with Chelsea, pigging out with Kellyn, debating with Ansen and gossiping with Zhengmin amongst many other delights. It had been a comfortable career that lacked something. Like a relationship with a sweet, caring boyfriend without the chemistry. It took me a while to leave, but the brave step has been taken. Still, the next time I pass a job site, I will smile at the familiar sight of the much-loved 320D working hard to build our city, progress made possible by the commitment of 90,000 employees working as one.
