The smile on my face will stay forever
Working in HSBC this time round is a recomfirmation that I'm not called for office job. I just don't like the feeling of being at your own desk and doing the tasks assigned. All we need to do is to complete the tasks given in the shortest time possible. And to me, its madness. I was assigned to do some QC administrative work, which included folding 6600 letters and slotting all of these into the envelopes. It's really driving me nuts because the whole day, I'll just be at my desk doing this. I was supposed to complete it yesterday, but even till today, I have 2000 odd more to finish. It's boring la. Now I know the consequences of slacking on the 1st day of work. Work will just pile up the next day. Thank God Yenru and the guy from the other department came to help me. Although the work was sian, I enjoyed myself too. We were supposed to do OT today. So ya, we did. However, instead of working through the OT period, we spent the time talking. That's so cool right? Simply talking and crapping...time passed so quickly...furthermore get paid 1.5 times more. And of course, as usual, I would go to the pantry to find things to drink...so I was practically wasting my time effectively. I told my colleagues that perhaps they should employ a postman to do this type of job instead of asking people like us to do. Now, it seems that I'm called a postwoman...mann...just for the moment. I think the location of my job has allowed me to go to work with my dad and I'm really grateful for that. I think my dad is a great dad and I'm beginning to appreciate every little bit of him. I sensed too that I'm starting to understand him better in a fresh new way.
I've been thinking of one of my secondary school friend lately. She's called esther. We used to hang out together after school together with yvonne. Yes, we were very closed. But somehow along the way, when we enter into different polytechnics, our friendship drifted apart. It was only yesterday that we started messaging each other again. I'm overjoyed. God really knows my needs. On my way home today, I bumped into her in Bedok and we had a great 3 minutes talk. A 3 minutes talk that means so much to me. Following, we decided that we should meet up...oh yeah! So it will be...tomorrow...gonna ask yenru and barthelomew along too. I wanted to take a day off tomorrow as I was not feeling too well just now but I guess I'll just go because I'm so excited to meet my friends after work.
