I think it's since I taken on this job, I began to have a cup of black coffee in the morning and start the working day.
Appreciate for a close friend's referral, I got introduced and joined this owner's team in 2014 spring time. Role as internal project controller. He has a very solid back ground in the IT solution field, especially in software development for giant banking clients.
Although we had detail conversations beforehand about our client, the organization, and the nature of the business, I am still surprised by the actual working form after first couple working days. I realized I was actually located at the client's remote work station, not all of the team members were sitting together. We were located in different areas due to to the limited offers of working stations. Addition to those I was the only guy in the team who was from "Non technical" back ground. As a person from finance field, looks like it's "non value added" to the complex development projects.
Thanks to my gifted optimistic mindset, there were no gap for regret and frustration. All I need to do just to roll up my collars and pick up the tasks. According to the boss, he had a strong mindset in the in the project planning, budgeting, resources management and billing assignments, as well as the daily administrative activities. He was too busy to set up the all these in good shape.
I believe that thanks to those hard working days, I was brought into a new world, most of my previous knowledge were broken apart and rebuilt to new format, some potentials inside me were triggered since then.
However accompany with the excitement of exploration of new thing, I also experienced many happiness, upset and struggling moments. I think that's why I fell in love with the bitter taste of black coffee since then.
