The fact that after a week, it still bugs me that I still need some getting-used-to-situation. A lot of instances that I have developed over the years that I have been in the previous company made me feel pretty weird at times and not know what to do at that situation.

For example, my previous company has the culture of shaking hands with everyone in the department before and after work. So, in a way, you are kind of saying good morning and good bye to everyone. Yeah, I did previously complain about this weird culture before but after some getting used to its pretty good actually. Why? Because you know if the person came to work or left work or not! Here, we don’t need to shake hands so not wishing your colleagues good morning or good bye seems pretty weird. Its like not greeting anyone at all. You can choose not to greet anyone if you are feeling grumpy for waking up on the wrong side of bed!

Then there’s also the getting-used-to saying “store”. Here, its no more store! Its “restaurant”. Weird actually when you accidentally say “store” and people look at you in some weird sense because there’s no such thing as store but “restaurant”

Then there’s also the emptiness in the office. Back then, it was all noisy (actually, the thing was I had a culture shock because the company before that was even noisier). Here, it redefines the meaning of quiet.

I hope time will only tell
