So today was my first day on the internship. The office isn't that big, and the people were unexpectedly quite warm. Of course there were grumpy faces (it's a Monday), but most of them were middle-aged women so they knew how to treat people well. Like making dessert from the rice cooker in the pantry and fussing over my broadband connection.
Surprisingly I got quite a lot of work on my first day! Not that I'm complaining; in fact I think it's good, at least they trust me to do the work, and it's good training as well. My boss asked me to vet some bank insurance policy contracts and format my comments into letter form. And I'm so relieved he was quite happy with what I did. Thank God! He had to do very little editing, and zoom, off they were sent.
And I already know I have work waiting for me tomorrow.
Now if only the food was good.

where are you working at? :)
ReplyDeleteAnd what are your hours like?
ReplyDeleteI'll tell you in person, haha.
ReplyDeleteThe usual office working hours, EVERY WEEKDAY. EVERY WEEKDAY.
Haha better weekday than weekends I thought?
ReplyDeleteand you only think about food.
ReplyDeleteare you paid btw!
No, I was just saying. Hahaha. Every weekday sounds like it is almost every day.
ReplyDeleteActually thinking about food is good what, it is one of the criteria for survival. I'd think about air too, but it isn't really as tasty.
HAHA you know what I told them I'd work for free (because I wanted the internship and mentoring to be whole-hearted!) but of course they said they're going to give me something.
=.=! Isnt my timing worse? Tho Im sure I do much less than u do~
ReplyDeleteMARC TEH!!! I didn't know you reopened your blog till shouyu mentioned it! YAY! Another good blog to read. They are rare. :D AND I HAVEN'T SEEN YOU SINCE LAST YEAR!!!
ReplyDeleteAHAH! I never thought about air until you mentioned it. Coming to think about it, we all probably think about air, water and food subconsciously... oh yes. And sleep.
ReplyDeleteYES the learning curve is very steep here. I'm helping in the billing, motor claims, liability evaluation already and it's only my first week. No one asked me to photocopy stuff, so I went to use the machine by myself, hahahahaha.
ReplyDeleteHaha thanks thanks affirmation is always welcome. Come to think of it, ya hor, but didn't you say you'd meet me closer to 123123123123123123123?
HAHAHAHA 123123123123123123123!!!!!!!
Actually I don't think we do, it's basically for granted lah. Food though, is an entirely different matter.
1-2-3!!!
-.-! Only yx and I get the code here you know~
ReplyDeleteone is beginning to think that marc has gone stark, raving mad.
ReplyDelete(and and I had initially thought your display picture was that of a hamster [it does look like it when it is so small...]. Finally realised it was the tree. AHAH!)
ReplyDeleteOk for the uninitiated it's my BIRTHDAY..! Haha I think ZY also knows. Oh ya, apologies if you think I act like God's gift to the world or something, hahaha. But some part of that is nonetheless true. (:
ReplyDeleteActually ya, without school something in my mind has broken.
How does it look like a hamster...?! YES it's a variation of the same tree that you helped with last time for the blog.
