crazy working days ahead

I have finally landed a job. It's not my dream job, but it is amazing to get a job nevertheless. So for those that did not know, I landed a job at Uzma Engineering last week. I was suppose to start on Friday at the lab in Shah Alam, but somehow, due to special circumstances, I was told to start in Uzma House at Cheras starting last Thursday. For this whole year, I will probably be move around, from Geological Department, to Sales, to Business, to Manpower, to Lab and cycle all the way until they see where I am good at. GOD!

It was pretty hectic 2 days when I started there! I was immediately thrown into a meeting with big clients talking about something on something regarding something, of course I was there to get the basic info on how everything works in Uzma, but I was so disorganize that I literally blank out of my mind, not figuratively, literally.

So, the position I'm in is a Junior Geologist, however, I am not doing the actual geological work. I am thrown into the business-related work, typing in data, reading on report, making proposal, being a despatch boy and etc. It was really crazy since I have no idea what I'm doing. The only people there is my supervisor and another colleague to help. Which they are also busy doing God knows what!

Haih...I am not being ungrateful, it just that getting thrown into something I have absolutely no idea what I'm doing, and what's more, having to work in Ramadhan really drain a lot out of me, I almost collapse on my first day simply due to stress, not to mention the crazy traffic in KL.

Not to whine here, but next week I have to write a proposal on a project we currently pursuing, my supervisor is away for 2 weeks, how on earth am I going to get through this?! There will be a lot of question next week, and many more blank face to a lot of victims.

But no worries, I'm sure with time I am gonna be good at what I'm doing, my problem is when I am thrown all around during my duration, I'm afraid I have to start all over again.

The good part is that the boss are as crazy as you can imagine, but they expect results, that's how boss works, everybody knows that. You just have to flow with it I guess. Haih, can't wait to see what awaits me in the next month.

So there you go, that is all I have to say currently, awaits my crazy working years ahead.

Nurul: thank you

Ayol: not so much, I'm stuck doing the same thing over and over again, sure I could learn new things, but that doesn't compare to doing the same old thing for 30 years to come..*sad*, but I'm grateful nonetheless. I'm just hoping to survive a year there, hehe
