Feeling... very sleepy Happiness of the day: first day of work - office people are nice. Event of the week: www.com this Friday I am dying....argh...from boredom. Today is my first day at work. Actually I'm still at work now, I shouldn't be doing personal stuff like this. But I really don't have anything to do. I'm so bored, so sleepy, but I can't like take a nap so openly right? Actually I do have some stuff to do...or rather, some stuff to read. I spent the morning reading information about MITA - everything from the history of this building to the office guidelines. Actually for the most part, I don't think it's relevant to me at all. Then for the rest of the time, up till lunch, I was reading research material about virtual museums. Actually that wasn't really that dry, since I do have an interest in website design, but still.... Now this is the really boring part...I've finished reading the material about the museums, so now, I'm reading about guidelines to the SQA - Singapore Quality Award. Argh!!!! let me take another glimpse at that fateful stack of paper...something about A Journey to Business Excellence. Sigh. Definitely not something I expected myself to learn from MITA. sigh. I think the bulk of the work has not come yet, partly because my supervisor doesn't quite know what to do with me yet. He is doing a few projects at hand, but he doesn't quite know what I can help with. Which is probably why now he's just throwing me all these information, so at least I have some background knowledge about all this, while he figures out what I can do. And he'll be away from tomorrow on, till next Tuesday, which means I shall have 3 more days of boring reading to do. Omigod, I want to kill myself. I've messaged my friend, chatted with a colleague, gone to the bathroom at least twice now...tell me, what else can I do to wake myself up? I cannot sleep...I cannot sleep...it's my first day of work... I guess the good thing is, this colleague I got to know is rather nice. She's an intern as well, a post-A-levels intern, so 2 years younger, rather fun to talk to. And my supervisor is quite friendly too. He was a scholar, now on the dual-career program, high-flyer but not arrogant at all. And best of all, I get a cubicle of my own....at the corner of the office, which means few people walk past everyday - maybe a little off, but I like the privacy. I think I'll bring like one or two soft toys to decorate a little. Must bring a mug tomorrow too. And coffee. I have 6 weeks here, before I go off to the even more boring part of OSMP. I hope things will get better. It'll be such a shame to waste my time doing an attachment that doesn't teach me anything. | |
