2 years and counting..

Seems like a not-so-long tenure for an employee in an organisation.. Yes, I just completed 2 years in my current organisation! Mixed were the feelings that ran through my mind and heart and mixed too were the reactions that I received from all and sundry.. Some congratulated me on the feat with a handshake and a slap on my back, some grinned cheekily and asked for a treat :-) others looked at me and wistfully said "So long? The years have gone by really fast!"

So why do we stick around for more than a year (that being a reasonable time) at any organisation? Though pay is not the only reason, I think today's workforce also stays because of job satisfaction.. I know that I do! I love what I do with a mad passion! Even though I work in a department that all employees worldwide love to hate – HR! ;-) But I have realised that it is just one of those quirks of the employee human mind that we need to live with, accept and move on and make things better.

Two years.. a long time if you think about it, and time does fly these days and it makes me think where did all those days go? We are already in the 5^th month of the year – where did the first 4 go? I remember greeting the New Year as if it were only yesterday! Time - the one constant thing that keeps on moving – sometimes fast, sometimes slow..

The last two years have been filled with fun, work and responsibilities; it has been a time of learning, of teaching, of guiding, of being guided, of partying, of crying, of laughing but most of all it has been of living. Living life for each day and coming across all the obstacles and clear roads, learning something from each of those days. Experiencing the different types of people in my organisation, their different and unique thought processes and logic, their perceptions has helped me develop more as a person and an individual. Thanks to all of them I am now 2 years and counting… :-)
