Hello everyone...
Sorry i havent been updating this as often as i would like to... I think if you havent heard much from this blog... its pretty safe to assume that nothing has happened so far... and things are pretty much the same as it has always been for the past weeks.
Well... Im working now on a sat morning and i didnt go to work yesterday. I have gastric problems and i've already went to see a doc (bloody 200 HKD) and i have an MC too. Hopefully, it'll get accepted as sick leave and not as a full day leave. Cause i intend to save all my full-day leave for someone who's coming on the 23rd June... =)
Now that im on my own, i do admit that i do some pretty ridiculous things and dumb things and ultra blur things. But i guess these are just whats going to make me learn right? How else would i know that its actually cheaper to eat during tea time unless i have skipped so many meals or have eaten so irregularly to chance upon tea time specials.
How else would i realise that when i need to call in sick i need to phone the office first and a message to my immediate supervisor and an email would not suffice. Im sorry... but i think these protocols should be told at the start of work and not learnt during... man, talk about on-the-job-training... Im not coming up with excuses, i do admit i should know these things but a fair portion should be told from the start right? Like.. the only "induction" i got was where's the toilet, the pantry and where's the desk. ok start filing.
Things i had to figure out by myself was how to apply for leave, where to get the keys for supplies, figuring out the bloody photcopying machine and of course, how to skype without being too obvious...
But i really need to get used to working life, especially the hierarchical thing. For example, the overall head of the company was telling me (yet again) that i should call the office and who's letting such a small issue take precedence over the larger overall problem that was happening... and she was telling me the office number is... blah blah blah... and i know i know, one shouldn't argue with the boss, and when the situation was so tensed, its best to bow down the head and nod and agree...but i just couldnt resist looking at her in the eye and say, "im sorry i think it is yada yada yada instead".
Silence then... "well good that u know the number. Next time remember to call."
How trivial right... Yes... i hate authority, i cant stand being lorded at, i can be damn rebellious and yes i am damn KL.
