Work! haha...

Ah.. haven't been updating lately as I haven't had much free time after work. Gotta sleep early & wake up early... Work starts from 9am-6pm. Some stories of my working life.. Well this is the first time I'm working for a stranger company, and first time in an office environment. Previously either I did not work at all or is busy with hall activities in the holidays :)

My first day @ work was such an adventure. haha.. as a few of you may know.

Blunder #1
As my work place was @ Eunos & I seldom take such short train journeys, something happened... while on my way there, I shut my eyes while listening to the radio, as usual. who knows, I almost missed my stop, so I rushed out w/o much thinking. And guess what? when I was searching for my wallet so I could tap my EZlink card, I found my wallet missing!!! Darn! I knew I dropped it while rushing out of the train. and die! how on earth can I chase after it? itz long gone.. so I went to report it, but the smrt guy said that he'll send a msg down to all of the people & whether my wallet reappears depends solely on the honesty of the public. so okay... and he can let me exit for now. Butttt... w/o my wallet, my ezlink card & all my money.. how am I supposed to take the bus to go to work? and lunch? how abt the trip back? I couldn't believe what had happened... it was the first day of work, and how am i to get there? well I could borrow money from colleagues for lunch but, how awkward! itz just the first day and stuff. Luckily, as I was filling up the form about my wallet, the woman who found it came to the control station!!!! phew!! At that moment I felt so relieved.... and happy. and I thanked her profusely.
Lesson learnt: better becareful & try not to doze off again.

I took the bus on the wrong side of the road after work. As a result, I landed in Aljunied MRT station instead of Eunos MRT station, and had to take the train back. oh well, haha... Blur queen on monday. maybe becoz I didn't had enough sleep.


Other than those, colleagues were good, they were friendly, majority are middle-aged people, and I like the office environment coz I can wear nice formal clothes everyday. haha.. sounds crazy. My boss is very nice & friendly too. Had lunch with my department & the guys drove all of us out. First day was very slack for me, so much so that I feel so tortured and could not take it any further. I had to wait for a few hours in a meeting room while they settled stuff for me, was so bored that I read all those wordy rules of conduct & the like so many times, and read the company's newsletter too. zzz... After which I was being shown to my desk, but still had to continue entertaining myself with nth but the same "reading material" and blank paper as I waited for them to setup my computer. Without it, there's nothing much I could do. Some of the stuff I started writing on the blank pieces of paper were, modules arrangement, maths problems, binary numbers, names of people in S19 and The Pledge. Yes, I wrote The Pledge because I was so bored. so u can imagine....
But the situation has improved since then, got lots of learn & do and I can get real busy sometimes. Well, having stuff to do is better than having nothing so, I shan't complain too much. :)

The best thing that has happened so far was discovering & meeting up with the rest of my comrades. haha... Fellow uni students, NUS interns and freshies. I was so happy & excited when I heard about the rest of them. Yay! can have lunch together next wk! :)
