Had supper! Like my first since I started work. I'm so fortunate to haf fellow pig(s) like me! Wahaha... Time to hunt for later nite supper kakis since i'll end work how late. This will then spare one more person from turning to ah pui.
Was talking to the cab uncle which brought me to the realisation that I'll be graduating really really soon (that's if i decide not to double major... hmmm... actually now to think of it... i'm kinda liking my second major more n more... n if my current employer wants to hire me till next year... i might just study more. Wahaha... ) Time really flies and soon I'll be out there slogging my arse off and joining the work force. Looking at all the pple ard me working, working life does seem a little sad.
Routine of a working life...
  • Get up in the morning
  • Rush with the crowds on the mrt/bus n if u drive, rush with the traffic n get yaself all worked up early in the morning
  • Get to the office, settle down, grab a cup of coffee
  • Check emails (till date i haf yet to decide if it's a bliss or a curse) As a student, i think emails are a bitch. the amt of email that finds their way to my mailbox is enough to make u feel like trashing the icon into the trash bin. But of coz u know it doesn't help, coz it's omni-present! Wahaha... The only good thing is that most of sch mails can just be deleted without opening them. (but then again, with the sch network being msn-unfriendly, emails haf found another function. Wahaha... I'm sure some of my friends testify to that) Office mails are a different issue. Every single frigging mail needs to be read coz u can't differentiate an impt mail from a junk mail via its sender. So that sucks. And i swear it sucks. Now tat i've decided to join the working world prematurely, emails indeed intensify the degree of suckiness. Every email has to be carefully scanned at the very least and i can no longer just send mails to the trash can without reading for fear of some impt stuff i need. And sometimes mails that doesn't concern me gets into my mail box. Why was this field cc & bcc even introduced. OMG. For a temp, I dunno how come i ended having my own personal email account n the number of mails i see inside is AMAZING. I was expecting to haf lil or no mails. And soon when I have to start sending my own mails, I'll curse & swear at the email. So now i'm plagued with sch mailbox, office mailbox, hotmail, yahoo & gmail, which the latter 3 are growing cobwebs.
  • Start work. N the phones start ringing. I really hate it when all the phones start ringing. Haha.. Thank goodness the phones are none of my business... n i'll keep it that way. But i guess the only good thing abt phones is i can bug the IT department none stop. Wahaha... So much that they expedite my requests so efficiently. Wahaha...
  • Lunch comes. It's once again time to squeeze n fight with the rest of the working crowd. N another decision needs to be made. Doesn't that suck? Haha... esp since u have to make tons of decisions in the office and just when u thot u could get a break, u haf to decide on where n wat to eat. N for the upper management, maybe lunch is prolly one of those meals that u forego coz the pile of work can only start clearing when the other staff have gone for lunch.
  • Then it's back to work & u haf like sleeping after a nice n heavy meal. And u just start counting down to the end of the day.
  • And when that time to knock off comes, U realise u still have tons of things on ya to-do things that needs to be cleared. And low and behold, U OT. Haha... For those who gets OT, good lorhz. Motivation to work. Those without OT, oh wellz... just work lor. Usually u dun get paid such high paying jobs for no reason. Haha... Sometimes when u think about it, maybe getting OT pay sounds like a better deal after doing really thorough calculations. Haha...
  • Now that it's off office hours, u work in a more relaxed fashion... hmmm... or maybe u rush a lot more as u try to chiong home. Work n work n work. When u finally decide u r done for the day (notice it's not done with work. coz work is never ending!) or are too tired to go on, you look @ your watch, only to discover it's 8 or even later.
  • Pack up & head home! Well, at least by then the trains are less crowded (i hope) Haha...

Typical office life ya. Haha... That's wat's going to hit me in a couple of months. Embrace it or shun it? That's for all u graduating peeps to decide. For now, i embrace it. 1st week of work n i'm starting to like working more n more. Liking my employer (not coz of the prestigious name), & my colleagues albeit the slightly monotonous job (but hey if u think abt it most jobs get monotonous over time, with exceptions lah). But i'm learning more n more each day though i do pretty much the same thing everyday and i'm getting better n better @ it. Wahaha... N soon that whole damn thing will be handled by me. NOOOOOO.... But my boss says I'll get my job rotation in 3 months. Hmm... does tt mean i'll be staying there beyond this year? Hmmm...

Just a thot: Would you rather do a job that earns you tons of money & is those prestigiously well-known n sounding (those woah-jobs) & not really enjoy it (conditions: ok average working condition, colleagues who are ok.) or do a job that u enjoy and earn much less (considtions: ok working condition, fun n fun-loving colleagues) Which would you go for?

My views another day. I'm off to bed....
