A New Start

Its a new start, a new environment. Having concluded my internship, i have just experienced a drastic change in job expectations. Somehow, i couldnt help it but miss my internship a little.
An internship: you are given a few 'projects' and held responsible for the completion of the entire process, the planning, the paper work, the execution. You see the process from the start till the end. A complete picture.
A temp: you do the paper work that you are given. Many of which requires no thinking on your part. Of the responsibilities given, yours is to make sure that there is no typo. (My new point of view)
If an internship is a slice of a cake, then, a temp is really, just a bite. Insufficient to form anything on its own.
It was hard, the transition and expectations. How I think I was too efficient and asked to do things slower. How I have to wait for one little paper work and one little paper work to come my way.
I do miss the independence. At the start of work, you know. Alright, I have a license to renew, an internal audit to complete, obsolete items to find or maybe a work instruction to update. Or perhaps, ooo... yf is organising a fire drill or there is a briefing for the warehouse staff. Otherwise, I'm going out on a sales visit, I'm going to the warehouse for equipment calibration or even, I have a meeting with the contractors. And then, I think of all the nitty gritty details that I need, in order to complete any one of the above-mentioned.
I have never minded inefficiency or hand holding that much before. I guess, the internship has brought me to another level of work.
Well, this is not to say that I havent yet learn anything. For one, I have finally made peace with Excel 2007. I used to 'dislike' that system. I remembered once, in Thinklab, I couldn't find the print button. Darn. haha.. Spent 2 days finding documents, printing Material Requisition, issuing payment vouchers and issuing cheques. Doing the Internal Audit helped. I'm so used to touching every single file and document, so used to the invoice, PO, DO and the thick stack of permits, shipping documents (BL, Weight Note, Clearance, Packing List)...So used to them that when the Accounts Executive told me that she has alot of files and ask me to feel free to browse through them, I was totally not intimidated and totally not impressed. sigh. But slowly, she is passing some more work to me and expecting me to know what to do with each of them. Fine. Thats great. I mean, Im serious about wanting to learn something in this one month. My curiosity can only be neglected for that long. Im NOSEY!
Enough about the working aspect of work!
haha.. the people there are generally younger. The Accounts Executive is only 23. Still older than me but yup. Generally the people there are friendly with me but a little reserved. I see some mild politics, but I have seen worst, so that is fine. Its a different culture. A different environment. A new start.
I guess I might have given the impression that Im very reserved *like HOW is that POSSIBLE* I have been intoxicated and POISONED! I still cant believe the fact that I did the 'LISTEN and SMILE' thing on the first day of work! Like 'omg! wei ling. say something. Its MY TURN to say something. QUICK!' but yup. I just SMILED! Reverting the entire impression takes conscious effort. ITS ALL YOUR FAULT!
I did the weirdest thing I have ever done in my entire life today. I mean, I have done so many weird things, but this is by far, top on chart. I sms-ed yf's brother, whom I dont know and who doesnt know me, to get yf's Msia's hp number. If im the brother, i'll be thinking: WTH. And if im yf, i'll be thinking: WTH as well. 'cause, from my point of view, my action is super DIAO. I SWEAR that Im not trying to stalk him or anything. The internship! bleahz. the same thing that Im missing like nuts is never ending! And because the skiver is uncontactable, macham CALL DIVERT like that. Everything becomes my problem.
Im sorry if I scare you. ok. No Im not. WAH~ of all times, you got to be so difficult to contact. You know how hard it is to haunt you down or not. Next time I really need to splash paint drop bomb liao! or else 飞鸽传书 also can. hmpf.
Things are happening at home. Things that stretched on for nearly 10 years. well. Get used to it. A pat on my shoulder and a hug for myself.
Suddenly Im feeling tired.
Tomorrow will be bright and sunny *if its not, I don't have to know. I'll insist that its BRIGHT and SUNNY* I'll have new friends. I'll stop thinking when I go to Clementi, have bee hoon, eat lunch, look at the air ventilator, google, facebook, youtube, watch pictures, chit chat. A whole new world.
