phew, I just got back from work and my mind is set on updating this blog. Life has been revolving on nothing else but work, both of it.
The first one is pretty bad. After the OSC(my dept) meeting last Friday, I had to learn catch whatever another temp girl was doing in barely 10 minutes! Sometimes I wonder why the superiors cannot arrange for these things to be taught to the newbies earlier but instead, leave this to the very last minute. They expect my brain to function like that of a computer's mother drive and remember every single details after that “lesson”. If they actually use their brain and are prepared, they could have actually let me get some hands on for whatever that I have to do in future and slowly let me take over. $^% What can I do? I am only playing an insignificant role in the office. Nonetheless, I have taken over most of the jobs that one temp girl used to be doing; Friday was her last day. By the way, she was one of the few who hadn’t been very nice to me, thus forgive me for being evil..she's gone for the better! =/
My workload started to pile up once the week starts. Yesterday was hell, Ayano(another temp seated beside me) was on MC and I gotta help her clear her home delivery orders. On top of that, I had my own work to do- orders for VAIO and the various car companies. ALL these 3 had to be done by 1145am, the cut-off for deliveries. Imagine how by eyes, fingers and brain worked crazily in the morning, under that immense amount of stress! I was afraid that any of my nerves in my brain may just *snap*! In short, I almost died at my working desk.
Being out at work has also exposed me to much more inter-personal relationships and definitely, like the extremes of black and white. There are “angels” whom I got to know as I interact with people there everyday. Other than the 3 whom I mentioned in the previous entry, there is another colleague, Mabel, who offered to help me clear my workload yesterday! She’s a rare gem in such a working environment, really. Another one, is a middle-aged man(Shaun) who belongs to the sales side. Despite knowing that I committed mistakeS while keying his orders(which means more work for him), he actually said, “It's ok. Don't be affected by this” and “it’s ok, she’s still learning..”
=)=)=)
CAN YOU IMAGINE HOW TOUCHED I WAS? Gosh..I swear I am going to give him a big farewell gift when I leave that place in May this year. On top of that, he always greet me with this “xie xie ni” after our conversation on phone=) All these simple gestures are heart-warming when you are in a complex environment where most don't actually pardon mistakes-esp one lao za bao in my dept.
But...afterall, I am still tired. Dead. Lost.
