7X8X5 + 7X8X4 + 7X5

2 weeks into my 1st job. covering some admin duties at the accounts department.

apparently the auntie took 1 mth leave and i had to cover some of her work. she only spent like 6 hrs with me on the 1st day to teach me all the stuffs. she has a co-partner but he has a very very very very heavy ang-moh accent that till today i have problems communicating with him. and the work i was assigned apparently is quite important as it involves the prices of their products in global markets. still don't understand why they allowed her to just throw everything to someone newbie like me...

the workload isn't alot. i just wait for mails to arrive before i can input data into the system. so practically i just sit there and wait. the guy has his own work to do as well and we don't really talk alot. the ols zeh zehs and aunties around me very talkative. i am the only temp around my area so it gets quite boring after a while.

lunchtime was horrible. the perms usually go together and being a temp i felt so out of place after lunching with them on the 1st day. so i had a lonely lunch on my 2nd day and it sucks to be walking around somerset area looking for food and seats. in the end i walked to ps and had kfc.

luckily on the 3rd day i decided to ask this other temp girl for lunch. turns out that she was very lonely as well and have been lunch alone since she came 2 weeks ago. the bad thing is that she only works mon, wed and fri so on the other days i had to lunch alone...

by the end of the 1st week i was so bored that i decided to terminate my contract and stop after cny. every morning i had to drag myself to work and i felt so emo whenever i think of the lonely and meaningless 8 hrs i have to spend.

almost everyone i spoke to felt i was too hasty and should be happy that i am getting paid for almost doing nothing much. furthermore, the auntie will be back in like 1.5 weeks time? i also do not have to pay the $200 penalty for early termination, which is like working for free for 1 week?!

so in the end, today wasn't my last day. i shall bear with 2 more weeks of boredom for the sake of $$$! luckily i have enough training in army to stare at the pc and pretend to be doing work. lol.

anyway today office closed shop at 3pm because of cny. was quite happy but later realised that means 3 less hrs of pay! haha. went to amk aracade again. have been spending alot of time and $$$ on arcades. haiz~

i want $$$!
