HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME!!!

It's my Chinese birthday today!!!

And I think my ahma is the only person who remembers. So I got ang bao!!! ^^

Funny how my ahma wanted my mum to give birth to me on Dumpling Festival so it's easy to remember. Maybe that's why I'm so dark skinned, my mum must have eaten too much bazhang -.-



Anyway, it's my 3rd day of work today at mum's office.

And I'm working as an ad-hoc clerk. LOL.
Highest paying job out of all the jobs I've taken up.
And it's really true when people say that slack jobs pay a lot.

But I think office job really is boring.

I keep getting the feeling that I sit for so many hours a day (like eat, sit, eat sit), my butt will become damn big.
#buttnumb

Isn't that the problem with what many people are facing? :O

I think compared to my mum, or her other colleages, my job already very good cos I get to talk to people.

Like talk to the drivers, but I get freaked out when they ask me things beyond my name. Like praise me for my handwriting (when it's ugly like shit cos I try to write fast and big and so I feel more efficient), or asking me where I stay.

Like whut?

Okay, because it's kinda weird how I will end up working in a rice storage warehouse in such a ulu place. Then when I tell them that mum works upstairs, they'll be enlightened. LOLOL.

Or... the other time I get to talk to people is when they make stupid phone calls that freak the shit out of me cos I have never heard of their company and it makes me sound stupid asking them to spell out their company.

Plus I always ask at least 3 times what their company is, and I think they are kinda annoyed at me, like:
"WTH WHY THIS GIRL SO STUPID ONE, SHE DEAF IS IT, NO UNDERSTAND WHAT I TALKING."

But I'm working in the container downstairs with all the lorries and forklifts passing by, sometimes I really cannot hear or understand them cos they talk like bullet trains.

Meh, I'm still new! 3rd day only yo!!!

I hate picking up phone calls at home, now I have to do that at work. Oh, the irony!!!
Maybe my maid will do a better job.

At least I got improvement, as compared to the first day. One total idiot.

So yeah, my job is to do data entry and pick up phone calls. And all the people I get to talk to are uncles :(

I'm the youngest in the company and even when I go out for lunch, people keep looking at me (I mean the hawker centre) and they probably think

"Why this girl here one. Like a weird only."

I'm writing in such a disorganised manner, but I can't help it cos my thoughts are everywhere.

So anyway, I get bored all the time cos there aren't that many orders to process. And the rest of the time, I either sit there and stone (and I swear I feel like sleeping so badly cos I get sleepy from feeling bored!), or sneak into the worldwideweb. I use the work "sneak" cos I don't know if I'm allowed to!!!

I go into twitter, and I realised I cannot tweet! Wtf. It doesn't allow me to send tweets I have no god damn idea why! So I feel very sad, if I can tweet, I don't think I'll feel that bored.

So I go into facebook and sneakily read my updates. And when I hear footsteps, I frantically search for the logout button and close the browser.

Or sometimes, I'll be reading news on yahoo / xinmsn and today, I was so bored, I went to Vivo's website and read everything they had there. I learnt quite a bit. Hmm...

And maybe I try to sing to myself...

Then sometimes, one of the uncles do walk in, and I wonder if he sees me on the net. And I don't know if I give him a bad impression. I mean like seriously, I don't even know if I'm allowed to use my phone, so how does that allow me to use the net?!

Then I realise that it's actually not entirely good working with mum.

I hate telling her how bored I am, cos she keeps telling my supervisor that I have nothing to do and she keeps requesting for more work to be given to me.

I don't mind that, but I have the feeling that it gives people the impression like "woah, 3rd day only then complain bored." It's not like I'm doing a very fantastic job or am exactly clear about my existing job scope.

So I'm actually very worried that when I do make blunders, my supervisor either:

1. Tells my mum. Then I get nagged or something idk.

2. Keeps it from my mum. And tells her how happy he is to have me here, and how good I am, when in fact, I committed stupid mistakes that makes me wanna bury my head in shame.

This is not good.

It's like yes, I'm bored, please give me more work.

But, no, I'm not confident about what I'm doing now yet, please don't add on to my burden cos I'm afraid of making mistakes and instead, 帮倒忙.

So anyone who's free, pleaseeeee entertain me during office hours.

I'm like one bored and hungry kid sitting in the container all by myself.

The only good thing is, I can go for lunch and knock off on the dot or even earlier. LOL. Never happened before.

I know my job sounds mad slack. Actually it is, if I am very familiar with everything. And the other uncles in my "department" don't really bother talking to me, except for my supervisor. But you know, the topics... very different!!! I don't know how to reply.

Okay, I've been hearing a lot about office politics since Day 1, and I'm supposed to just hear and not make comments / talk to anyone about it. Right...

Times like this make me feel like going back to roadshow.

What, at least I got friends and the atmosphere is more joyful right.

I don't even get to piak flies here!

I know I shouldn't be complaining. Like just do it for the sake of money. Kaching kaching.

But...

I really cannot imagine myself sitting in the office all day long...
