overdued update!
WOOSH. And the weekend is drawing to an end . Too fast too soon, i wished i had another day of rest.
Why can't the weekends stretch on to three days long? :D
I haven't been dutifully updating this space because the moment i step out of the office, my brain feels fried & dead. And all i want to do after work is to bathe, rest, and bum before my laptop to watch dramas or chat. The early mornings are slowly getting to me, i think i need to readjust sleeping hours again. Goodbye late nights >: I miss you so even though you were an unhealthy habit to upkeep with.
The long trudge to work begins every morning. Walking up to the further busstop to catch the direct bus to the workplace. Before walking up another tiny hill to reach the office. And then walking ten thousand more miles to reach my office inside the big office compound. That's quite a bit of walking to do in one morning, good morning exercise i reckon? Self-consolation. My younger sister warned me against wearing my fancy pretty shoes to work cos they get worn out really fast with all that walking & climbing i do each day. Ugh.
Mmmm, the crux of the update. Work. How has work been like? Am i coping fine? Yeah, i guess so. You could put it that way i guess. Work's been smooth so far. But the real test will come tomorrow where i start going solo and deal with the workload alone with no help from the freelancers. Apart from lunch, my eyes are glued to the computer's monitor screen, literally glued. I'm working non-stop. From the moment i step in, to the moment i finally am done with the workload for the day. My first day at work, i knocked off much later than expected. On friday, i knocked off at 7pm. I forsee many more days like this. I don't know if it's a good or bad thing, but at least i don't HATE doing it for.. now :D
I don't have an exactly clear outline of things i'm supposed to do. I wasn't giving an official start-work briefing. Things are pretty unclear at the moment. I don't know how long more am i gonna be here for, i hope long enough. I hope they move into the new office SOON. So that i can finally have a table to work on instead of having to bum on someone else's seat, and use someone else's computer. The fat monitors are putting a strain on my arm, together with the low chair and unraisable monitor screen. I hope i don't get another pinched nerve on my right elbow again. Once on the left is enough, i really don't want to go through it again -_-
I have nice colleagues whom i get along pretty well with. A couple of them tend to lunch together and i've been joining them everyday the past week since i started slavery there. sometimes i can't help but think my colleagues have sold their souls to working for the company. They stay on even longer than i do although they come in at roughly the same hours as me. We're all hardworkers. There's no time for idle chatter at work. The only time we get to socialise and chit-chat would be when we have lunch, apart from that its -taptaptaptaptaptap- work work work work work till it's time to knock off or OT.
Weekends are uber precious now that work has started. I don't have the luxury of hitting town on weekdays now :( I feel too tired and drained after work. Boohoohoo. The downsides to working :( Apart from that, i can't wait to get the first paycheckkkk and i finally went for my first haircut in 10 months today! :D Photos in another entry.
