today has been an interesting learning experience. today was the first day of my 2 day temp job. poh lin's recommendation. remind me to slap her when i next see her. supposed to be data entry. ends up being the multi-purpose, free for all temp employee of the office. poh lin would be better suited for it.

let me explain. ok, i reported at 9am, the person A isn't there yet. so, after explaining myself, in which no one at the office knows i'm supposed to be there, i'm sent to wait at the reception area. which is very nice and pretty and had a nice hitachi plasma tv showing off the company's achievements. wait till 9.30 then A arrives. wasn't till 10plus that i actually started some work. expected the wait lah. that was ok. collating data for him. then, went for lunch by my lonesome. A went out before me and came back like, half hour after me. and i went for the full hour. anyway, A's work done, he passed me over to his colleague M who wants me to help her do RSVP-ing. which is...call up a bunch of people on a VERY long list and ask if they're attending the company function. *jaw drops* it's times like these, i actually feel thankful for juice asia's training in how to talk to strangers. well, anyway, there i was, calling up god know's who on the list. and getting all their secretaries, answering machines, and automatic answering systems. there was even a case where the person i spoke to claimed that the person i was looking for didn't exist in that company. talk about really needing to update their contact list. geez. thank god, it'll be over tomorrow 6pm. if i go really slowly, maybe i don't need to talk to so many people. :D cos that's all i'm going to be doing tmr. i've been told. i'm gonna go through the list again, then after that, help to stuff envelopes. and they call this data entry. oh well, beats making tea.

interesting thing. there's a lot of ang moh's in the office. they strolled in at 10.30, sat down and started chitchatting in really really really loud voices, went for lunch at 12, came back at 2, hung around for an hour or so, then went in for meeting. and basically that was their day. geez. being ang moh, good life sia. haha!

i can handle it. if i can handle juice, i can handle anything.

more tmr after i finish.
