Do You Ever Get The Feeling.....

.....that something was meant to be.

I was told a couple of days ago that I had to move to a different office and do a different job to the one I had been doing for the last 10 months.
Obviously I was a little nervous as I was being taken out of my 'comfort zone' - but with the world being the way it is I thought it was best to just get on with it with the minimum amount of fuss.

The first thing I learnt when I arrived at my new office was that my 'room mate' was a chap from Malaysia and his name was Boo. This made me smile as it reminded me of Monsters Inc. - not that he looked anything like a female toddler of course, quite the opposite.
He then showed me around the building, pointing out the kitchen where I headed off to get a coffee. When I entered I glanced over to the mugs and smiled again when the first thing I saw was this

2 Disney references in as many minutes couldn't have been a bad sign could it?

Once I had my coffee I wandered back to the office. As it was mid morning I was feeling a little peckish so decided to have my apple.
Now, I'm not OCD or anything but with all the swine flu stuff going on and all the times I am expected to shake hands in this job (believe it or not it's not something I did that often until coming to the Middle East - but here everyone expects it from the CEO down to the guy who trims the palm trees) I find that I am a regular user of hand sanitizer.
As I got mine out and started to use it Boo looked and showed me his bottle, explaining that he started using his for the same reasons I did.

This was just a little too weird but I ended up spending the rest of the day looking for other Disney related items. I must admit I did start to struggle, but I guess thats because I was deliberately looking whereas the ones up to this point had been by chance.

It all certainly made me feel 'at home' and that somethings are definately meant to be

With English being his second language it is quite interesting - sometimes comical - to hear his pronounciation of some things.
And he obviously does literal translations sometimes which, again, can lead to some confusion but we are getting there. I just wish he would stop telling jokes and get on with some work now though - as the jokes lose a lot of their humour on the long trip from Malaysian to English
