Boring 5th week
I started my week in the Pensions & Benefits department, not in the HR anymore. It was so damn boring! I have a schedule, there's a plan for me, but there's no work! I asked them few times something like: "So, isn't there sth for me to do?" I would only observe the process of registering companies, or the front desk where customers come, or how they issue letters...The only work they gave me was data entry! That's boring and I don't think there's anything to learn from that!
I didn't talk to my supervisor, but I told my sister, i.e HR Manager, she told me to talk to the manager in the P&B dep. I went to her at the end of the second day, told her that I have nothing to do, she said she'll talk to the employees. Next day, I attended a meeting with them, they were discussing "new employee quick start guide". The rest of the week was boring with no work, just the usual, either observing or given data entry.
Thanks to the two interns with me I'm surviving (one is in the Finance dep & the other is in the HR), we go on a break together, then when we're bored with nothing to do we gather in the HR dep :P this mostly happens at the end of the day, around 1:30. Almost everyday I go up to those in the HR to say hello, and to see my sis ;) I'm hoping there will be work this coming week, if not, I'll talk to my supervisor & see if I can move to another dep. for the last 2 weeks. My sis told me to talk to the manager again, but I don't want to. She also told me that data entry is part of their work. She said sth like: "I know you're active, you want an experience that will teach you a lot. I would give you work form the HR, but it won't seem right" Well, I know she's right, but I'm a person that can't sit doing nothing. Time is precious! I can't waste 7.5 hours, 5 days a week for the next 3 weeks doing nothing. I'm also thinking of getting some books from uni library, for our capstone project, and reading them in my free working time.
Let's wait & see until next week. Hoping it'll be better than this week. I think this situation developed inner anger in me or frustration. This effected my tennis, I wasn't playing well, I got frustrated many times, at the end I kicked a heavy grabage, and it hurt my toe :S then I sat down, waiting for the others to finish...I'll play again tomorrow, but singles not doubles, which I guess is better a bit, so I hope I play better than yesterday :P
