interesting or uninteresting?

Blogging from Neuchatel, Switzerland doesn't feel any different. Hahahahaaaa, I mean should it?


Being in this new job does bring about certain challenges which I never thought would bother me. There are mostly about working with new people, being conscious about team and people dynamics and other stuff mostly concerning people matters. This brings me to the topic of what makes interesting work, and work interesting to me.

I have no doubt that technical challenges is the main factor for making any work interesting for me. But I also know for a fact that I'm also very much of a people person too. Let me rephrase: I am someone who is always concerned about how best to put forth my comments and ideas so that I'm understood and not misunderstood, and simultaneously being as sensitive as I can to how others are feeling about me, the situation and such. Such people-aspects of work, and life of course, has been an on-going effort and thus sometimes is relegated to the sub-conscious.

Thus, it is interesting to me that I'm putting in more effort to take a conscious note of the people dynamics around me than being worried about work challenges, or the lack of it.


Logically, blogging in an entirely different location should not matter that much. But again, it does feel good to being able to look out of the window and see a snow covered field just outside. A difference nonetheless.
