Two memorable months...

It has been 3weeks since i resigned from my very first office job. When i was working, i'm forever complaining that it's sooo tiring and the job is boring... Mind you, the job is boring and when you have to change 2buses and stand up for almost an hour in the bus everyday to and fro, it can be really tiring... But i managed to last for 2months... and if not because i was going for a vacation, i will probably stayed back longer, maybe until the project is over...

Why?

You may ask... It sounds really lousy and the pay was just so-so... Even my dad once asked is it worth working like that and coming home bout 8 something everyday...

Maybe then, i would have answered NO!!! It is bloody not worth it....

But now i think it's worth it... I've learnt something... Anyway, anything is better than just staying at home and become a couch potato... I've only been home for 1week plus, and i'm already feeling so lazy and restless... I'm actually missing the time when i was busy working... Times when i slept early cos my eyes were too strained, when i rarely had the time to online or more accurately no desire to online at all because i had been staring at computer screen half the day in the bank, when i lost alot of weight that my supervisor had fun teasing me about being skinny...

the office i was working

I know i wasn't a good staff though... Somehow i always managed to encounter problems either with the PC, scanner or docs, which i knew gave alot of headaches to Gary... Thankfully, i learnt to get instructions and manuals thru phone conversation so he didn't have to come over everytime i had a problem... Due to the frequent times i had to call him, Gary's number was officially set to one of my speed-dial... =_=" If that wasn't enough to make me felt bad, he also fetched me home at least once a week so that i can be home in 1/2 an hour instead of 2hours...

my ex-supervisor, Gary...


But not to forget, the person who worked with me everyday, whom listened to my complaints and kept me company. Laveen was always supportive and fun to work with... The girl who likes to eat 'jambu' and peanuts... =D I always had to trouble her to go to the lower floor to get confirmations or enquiries about the docs... She was also my lunch partner so i never had to eat alone except when i ate while working... In short, the person who made the whole working experience more enjoyable...


my ex-colleague, Laveen


And all the other people who were working in that office, directly or indirectly related to my work... The senior admin who runs the office that i was "invading"... Mr Looi, the person whom I always had to search and chased because i need to use his computer for verifications... The sales people... Shanta, the cleaner.... Even the guards, who always smile brightly everytime they greeted people...I got fond of them and they kinda spiced up my working days...

So, how can i say that it wasn't worth it... Eventhough this is my first time working in an office, i'm aware that i might not be able to get a supervisor as understanding and friendly as Gary, nor a colleague i can get along so well as Laveen...

That is why i didn't mind those buses that i had to take to get to work... Afterall, it is only temporary... I'm just bless that i got the chance to know and worked with them... =D
