That wasn't so bad

And my one working week in KL comes to a close.

Gotta say that in the last couple of months I started my job I don't think I felt more excited about my work. Not to say that I haven't had a good time before; the people at the office are uniformly friendly, and we do get to be involved in some interesting projects. But little of it to do with publishing. This week in KL, on the other hand, is all publishing. I was challenged, and sometimes felt a little out of my depth.

Which is fantastic, because I'm actually learning new things on the job, things that I'm interested in. Again, not a knock on what I've been doing before, but it really feels great to finally be doing some publishing work and getting experience.

No thanks to the Hari Raya holidays, I've had to cut back my work week to balik kampung; everyone else will be working through the holidays, which I can't even fathom but I suspect is something I'll have to get used to in the near future. Hey, a career's a career, right?

Anyway, great experience, got to work with friendly and extremely talented people, and had the best mentor you could ask for. Looking forward to more of the same.
