Work is beginning to pile

Not much yet though, around 2mm high now. Haha.

There is a lot of information on the job that I am supposed to know by heart. They say it will take time, and I shouldnt stress myself up too much.

Weird. Do I look like I am stressed? I am not stressed cos I cannot be bothered. I am just taking the workload as they come, occassionally looking over my shoulder to see if anyone is standing behind me strumming their thighs in inpatience.

Because there is always an overload of information, I tend to forget details.

Oops.

I tried to take down notes, but my writting doesnt match their speaking speed. I tried to write faster, but I cant recognise my scribble. I tried to concentrate harder so that I wont miss out details, of course that didnt work.

Yah lor, I think I need to bring voice recorder. -_-"

I tried to reassure myself, during the first 2 mths of my last job I also super confused, but still I manage to pull thru. I keep telling myself it is ok to make mistakes as long as they are genuine. As long as I am not making a repeated error I am going to give myself a break and not worry too much about it.

My supposed jobscope is to basically support the key people in the company. They go spend their expensive braincells doing thinking, I am churning out drawings for them. They've got tens of things on hand and they will just nonchatantly assign the simplest but most mundane job for me to do.

Well, I dont really mind, I enjoy doing autocad, so I am happy to sit in the office for the whole day and prepare drawings after drawings. Other than autocad drawings, I am need to do quotations and visit site with the key people to take notes to facilitate my autocad and quoting later.

Up to this moment, I am thinking that things are pretty good.

"Think" is the key word.

Sigh, I desperately want to name the people in the company so that I can blog about them and you people can understand the scenario, but I dont think the company is too high on its employers blogging.

And I dont think my team leader (can only call him V now, as per all the previous posts) and A (the person that I am tagged/assigned to) will be happy to read their names here. Actually their names are very generic, should I or should I not?

I'll sleep on that.

Anyway, I am supposed to be tagged/assigned to assist A, but at the same time I am to do whatever shit V give me. Haha. V is a totally different kind of boss compared to WH the lao ban from the last job. To think of it, V is something of a kenny material. Interesting to communicate with, can take jokes, friendly and patient.

Not too bad leh, having kenny ver 2.0 is conforting. I didnt realise the similarities until right now. Oh, I miss kenny, meow, caho, boon heng, obasan and jacq they all leh.

A gave me a whole stack of information to digest, and I gave up around 1/2 way thru. I will try my best to finish the stack tmr though, if I ever had the time to get to it. She also told me she would be testing me on the informations soon, and asked me to get ready for it. ~_~

Jsyn asked me if I am stressed. Of course I am not, I cannot be bothered anyway. 兵来将挡，水来土淹。Worry about it after I finish the tasks on hand.

A wants V to move me over to sit beside her so that she can communicate to me easier. Currently I am sitting around 2 rows away from her, so it is a 10 second walk. I prefer not to move, and I told V I dont really wish to move. I told him I will gladly walk over whenever she call for me? Like that can?

V say cannot (sickening~ Haha, very deliberate..), cos A dowan to walk over. He ask me why do I want to continue to sit where I am sitting now?

(Aisle) 1.2 (Window)
(Aisle) 3.4 (Window)

Given that I am sitting at 1, jsyn is sitting at 2, mchl at 3, V at 4. (Suddenly I discover I only assign codes when I am talking about bosses. Why I so gia sii one?

I told him I like to sit with jsyn! He say so? He dont like me to sit here cannot meh? I asked him "为什么? 我的人那~么好。 He laughed and said he will think about it.

吊起来卖!

I rather sit near jsyn and mchl lah. They are plenty of fun and I think A is a little too serious for my liking. I can work with her no doubt about it, but if I sit there permanently I will quickly consider to leave for another job bah.

Later in the afternoon when I follow A to site, she told me I'd been doing quite well for the past few days. (In my heart I kind of think the same way, considering V havent go thru even 1/3 of the basics with me, hahaha. 真的是推我一把让我去摔死.) I hypocritically told her, no la, V really taught me a lot, teaching me many details along the way.

And also truthfully (really from the dee~p bottom of my heart) that jsyn and mchl had been great help.

She asked me am I ok with sitting with her. I admitted I preferred to sit with jsyn. She tried to convince me that jsyn might be at site often, so I might not get to see her anyway. I adamantly told her I prefer to sit with jsyn. But of course preference is just preference.

Back at the office, V told her I want to sit back at where I was. A said I've already expressed my opinions to her. Let's see what will happen eventually.

I definately prefer to sit at the same place. I would have the company of jsyn and mchl, and I can piss the hell out of V. Super fun. Muahahahahaha.

Staff who goes to site often gets their handphone bills subsidised. I am usually in the office, so I dont think I am eligible. Still, jes helped me ask V to see whether I can claim this expense. V said maybe dont have, cos no one would be calling me anyway.

Good to hear that, I dowan clients to call me on my handphone. I think most people should be nice enough to not call after working hours, but I believe there will be clients who would happily sms and req I reply the next working day or something.

But being so wonderously kind, I would not bear to let people wait for my reply. I would be replying smses as they come, and that will probably mean I would never have time to myself already.

Heng I dont need to do this. *wipes brow*

Esther, I wrote this long post to show you I am alive. At least for the moment. Haha.
