Wow I hadn't been online for so long! & I missed being on line & browsing the net. I have to find a way to manage more time on line.
Um... yeah, finally I got a new job & it is much related to my field of study. Recently I had been working with a team on some factory plans but I quit the job & now I'm working as a food-inspector in a huge governmental company. It's pretty hard & I have to work in a time frame of 8am-4pm which is not my cup of tea. I always preferred jobs with flexible time tables. Yet it's a quite good job & the facilities are good.
It can get rather stressful cos a thousand lives will depend on my accuracy. Healthy food & food safety can get very crucial concerning health issues. The job requires more on site supervisions along with the paper works. I hope I can get through the first month of training-examining, and then I shall become an official employee.
The worst point of the job is that I don’t any internet access from work. & usually I get home so tired that I can not go online. Even if I had the access to internet, it would not be easy to check my favorite websites or blogs. Although private net usage is allowed to some extent in governmental companies, the number of sites one can check is restricted due to the fact that no one is sure which sites are illegal & which are not. For example, I would like to check JC Source (I have been a JC fan for quite some time) but it would probably cause problems for me.
Unfortunately, most of the time people's private passions & ideas are questioned here & they are judged base on personal preferences.
At the same time, people contacting with foreigners (except for business contacts) are thought to be untrusting & not reliable in governmental environments. I don’t know but the general mood is like that especially when you are working close to the head of the company. (My situation is like that right now, beside the position is newly added to the organization chart & actually I am the first to do the job so...)
Anyhow... I don’t know how long I can survive but hopefully things will get better by time. May God help me through this one.

I am sure you will do just fine with your new job. You are clearly a very intellegent and capable woman. Don't worry too much about not being able to internet while at work. I am allowed to but it gets me in trouble sometimes. UGH.
It is difficult when people worry about what others do on the internet. I wish I could say that I didnt have similar problems but the truth is that I could lose my job for what I say online too. I guess it pays to remember that and it pays to watch what one says in so public of a place.
New jobs are often very worrisome. I think the fact that you are concerned about your new job is proof that you will be successful in it.
It is rather sad that at a time when instant communication with almost anyone on earth is possibe, we have to be so careful about what we say or write in an email. In a way this cesorship of free speech cancels out the technology which makes instant communication possible. What good are cell phones and email if we can't express ourselves freely without fear of governmental or corporate reprisals? Even in Canada where absolute freedom of speech was taken for granted just a few years ago we all have to be careful in expressing our opinions on some subjects now. Even so, I count myself lucky to be a Canadian. I know that there are many countries where my big mouth would soon land me in jail, or worse.
About 50 years ago I worked for a large Canadian financial company. Personal phone calls were strictly forbidden. If one was caught making a personal phone call an official warning was given and placed in his/her file. Get caught a second time and you were fired on the spot.
