What a difference a job makes (Kilala.nl (Cailin Coilleach)) by Cailin Coilleach

This new job at $CLIENT sure is a huge change from my previous position. Of course there's the higher pay which is great and all, but there's also job satisfaction! I'm no longer coming home tired from boredom. These days I'm dead beat from hard and intensive work.
At $CLIENT I'm in a highly responsible position, being one of the few experts on BoKS that people can turn to. Due to our current constraints in the field of personnel our workload is high and we're constantly shifting priorities. I also frequently run into rather intricate problems that require a lot of puzzling over a prolonged period of time. All in all this new job is a challenge!
I also find myself doing stuff that I dreaded a few years back; I guess it comes with age ^_^ These days I enjoy roaming among managers (whom I lovingly referred to as suits not too long ago), trying to find solutions to organisational problems my team runs into.
I guess I like the feeling of having real responsibilities, accountability and a mental challenge. It also helps that my colleagues are awesome people :)
