Xx First week at work xXJust started attachment this Monday. The first few days were pretty boring, but as you kinda start talking to your colleagues, then well, it's a different case.
Generally, the people are Sulzer are really friendly, especially the bunch of people I sit with. Anyway, they poke fun of me la, sometimes. They make fun of everyone, so it's not an IA-student exclusive. Ha.
I've been told I speak to people like I talk to my
Ah Pa. They say that I reply to their questions like as if "Your
Ah Pa talking to you, but you're lazy to reply, so you just 'Orh. Hm. Ok.'"-kind of way. It's kinda true though, when I think of it. Ha. You can call the boss (with the exception of the "bigger" shots) by his name, which is pretty surprising. Ha.
By the way, I've been given work to do since Monday. Unlike most of my other classmates. Ha. Basically, what I've learnt in the past week is...
Counting hardware. Lol. Pretty lame, but at least there's something to do. My colleague gave me, like, 12 diagrams of some plant (Not the greens) components and taught me how to count the hardware. The diagrams were damn complex, but I finally finished it today. He was expecting me to finish them next week or something. Ha. Apparently, they need to know the number of hardware to estimate a part of the cost. So stressful! First day already give me this kinda job. I can't take a picture of it 'coz it's supposed to be confidential.
But, I did take a picture of my workspace. Ok, it
was my workspace, which was in front of the Project Manager's cubicle, until they asked me to move again today. I moved thrice already! Now I'm sitting in the front, right outside all the major managers' office. I'd rather sit at the back la! Everytime I move, I have to shift the PC with me. Stupid lah!! Ha. Anyway, I'm probably gonna be stuck there for the rest of the 6 months. There's nobody to my left and right, some new guy arriving next monday to my left back diagonal, and the NUS IA student behind me. Aiya! Hopefully still can have a good time there, but it's gonna be quite hard, 'coz the
'hip' crowd has been relocated behind. Want to do some mindless chatter also can't. Damn! =/
The company had its annual Chinese New Year lunch today! Ha. Can go
Lo Hei (Toss
Yu Sheng). We went to a restaurant nearby. I heard that it was better than last year, but it's probably most likely due to the presence of some guests in the company. Ha. The food was alright la and it's free for us, so what can we say. Ha. There were big scallops though, and 3 for each person! Great! =D
Ok la. That's about it. Probably not gonna have much updates over the IA period.
Till next time, Au revoir!
P.S. Sunburn, Best song ever! =D
My beloved "previous workspace". Sigh. Had to tou pai. Cannot be too obvious, you know.
Lo Hei Seafood Lunch! Wootz!
