Adapting to work life

Been working in this job technically for 3 days. Its the holiday season, so my superiors are on leave, my stuff wasnt ready yet. But jus reading the sop, files, routines, lookin at others work, i already go home mentally exhausted.

My directly related collegues, i tink its a 80 percent female working environment. Haha..gd huh? Tink many attached..haha. V day coming..duno will c roses and chocolates being delivered to them anot?

They seem to be a nice lot, helping each other out, but there are also conflicts also..cant help it. Tachi here and tachi there, all the work just push ard till some1 volunteers to deal wit it o/w it will explode and kill every1.

Theres a gal in my dept who reminds me of my ex...duno is it V day coming or jus any1 who have this slight resemblance will make me instinctly makes me take a second look. But still, its a different person.

i wish i can get comfortable with the work process and the working staff soon, so i wont feel so stand out...ppl doing work, im like not doing anything yet, except some ad hoc stuff. Hazi, wan to help, yet worries abt the rules of the work, have to watch what i say to clients, the regulations, n i dont even have my system working...n so many different cases and situations. Going to be tough

Awful thing i did..but not purposely

2day was out for lunch at china square. Ta Bao a coffee, went to sit on the benches around there. Then a credit card promoter approach me. i told him straight, there are more potential customer out there, u dont have to waste time with me. But he insists, so i jus entertain him abit.

He left his brochure wit me, and went back to take more brochures to catch the lunch crowd. It was windy then the wind carried away the brochure away which i left it on the bench. My hands are full wit the coffee cup and the cover. It blew so far away...cant be bother to take it back.

Thinking back, it wasnt nice to c a brochure wit yr name imprint on it being thrown around. He was a nice fellow...but i wasnt in the right customer for him...hazi...feel so bad...haha...im too nice?

Universal adaptor

My laptop kept on turning off the day when i goin to work for my first day. Thru trouble shooting, I deduce its the adaptor problem. dunwan go to the notebook service center to get "chop" again. But seems like i still get chop by another pc shop selling universal adaptor. U can change the setting of the volts and there r multi plugs in to fit to yr notebook specification.

I bought it hurrily, cos i dunwan to worry abt not able to use my notebook. Its was sunday, and monday need go work, dunwan to travel here n there, and got Rt at night somemore. I was damn beaten after the RT.

Back to the adaptor again, 2day i accidentally touch the L pin head plug n surprising i get shock, a prick. Weird is tat i recall touching my acer adaptor plug head when its on, i dont have any similar experience like an electrical shock. is it bcos the universal adaptor is made and assemble in China yet mine original's isnt? The power supplied also cant power my notebook and batt at the same time. i need charge it when i off the notebook, n sometimes when i power on wit the notebook w/o batt, sometimes the power cut off itself...

I attempt to use my old adaptor again, surprising, i tweak the wire at an angle, the power is running. Haha. looks like one of the wire is broken. Question now, is hw long is this method goin to work for me?

Low energy, less personal time

Jus 2 days continuous at work, i already feel tired. But i didnt do much except reading, reading, and more reading.

I slept my way home, really sleep...once reach home, time pass by so fast w/o me doing anything much but just resting..no reading done on my borrowed books, reduced time on the net, on the msn, on watching Tv. Think i need to plan my personal time allocation to make my personal more productive. Dont want to work for the sake of working and not living.

N now i have to read tis book to prep for the test..have to pass it, hopefully with flying colours, doing some real work soon, so they wont boot me out.

Today get to try something new, meddle around with a analysis system, it was pretty much like the systems used describe in my book. It is fun. Really get to adjust the moving averages, candle sticks, deviations, setting parameters for financial instrument u search.

Nervous for 2mor first day of work

I remember workin for my first retail sales job, i was given sales training for a day and thrown into a fair. It was tough, i wasnt sure what i was doing.

2mor will be the same. And its for a big company. Working for such a company definitely have its stress...hope i dont loss my cool.

Think i had to get used to

1. Waking up early
2. No more naps
3. Wearing office attire
4. Meeting new people
5. the Office culture, with the boss around the premises
6. adjust myself to the work process
7. no more late shows
8. no more surfing of random rubbish, perhaps more into my work related subjects

Things i be looking forward

1. my first pay :)
2. get to know more about hw the security market works
3. get to gain my confidence in handling the job well
4. get to see babes in office wear..haha...its an eye feast to temporary forget about the stress
5. get to make more friends

Good thing i only work 2.5 days till cny..can take a slight break. Tue need go phase 2 RT ippt..sian...sbj really still cannot pass...hope the company can let me out early w/o revealing my schedule...

Already missing my school days and holidays...

Polo tees misbuy

Im a fool, haha...went to G2000 and G2000blu wit ZR after getting my letter. Suppose to buy just 2 polo tees, think the sales assistant misunderstood or i misrepresent my intentions, he taking 1 "zip" type shirt and 2 polo tees to the cashier. Hmm..i think...forget it, just pay and go. But i can still tell him i don't want the other shirt...nevermind, after i notice the fresh cut on his finger. It was fresh and reddish.

Ok...after buying it, zr mention my poor choice of taste..yup, cos i wasnt buying with my brains switch on..haha...already paid laio.

Next time, better think carefully before buying anything, especially when ur not a regular shopper and is damn tired...only left saturday and sunday...my "offical last holidays" before i report to work...

Sian ahhh...no work sian, got work sian...2mor still have to go visit the doc for scans, go RT, go gathering..in 1 day..and next day, i thinking booking RT again. Weird is that i been training, yet i gain weight...

Appointment letter

I felt excited and fearful at the same time when i gain acceptance of this position. This appointment letter signifies the trust and confidence the manager had on my capabilities. Interviews is a process which u sell is yourself and what u can offer to the company, but to a large extend...its bias towards oneself and there may be a tendency to magnify your strengths.

Can i say i have successful psycho the manager to employ me and now I'm afraid I dont live up to my words? haha...self doubt has been my weakness since my failure in the O and A levels.

Neverthless, Im glad my jobsearch nightmare has ended. Im goin to join the rat pack, squeezing in the mrts in the mornings, walking in crowded tunnels and to my office where every1 is there to earn their living with their remaining life, bearing the hope to use this exchange of money with time and effort to gain their personal needs and goals.
