Work

So we've already been at work for 7 days already. But I guess today I've offended an associate by officially being a pussy.

I accepted my job with the knowledge that we only get accounting jobs. Which of course includes work like photocopying, filing, etc. Or maybe that's just my definition. But today my associate assigned me a novel task. Or at least one which I wasn't prepared for: telephone interview. I was the first in the group that was given such a job. I procrastinated very badly. Until a senior manager came and asked who needs a job. Impulsively I raised my hand and yelled "I need an alternative job!". The associate apparently heard that and a colleague later told me that she didn't look too happy. Invaluable lesson learnt. Sigh... But obviously the cause of the problem is that I was being a pussy. The associate gave up on me and finally approached my colleague while I wasn't around to let him do it instead. Colleagues thought I should hide in the filing room and cry.

Later today however every one of us was assigned the same task. This time overseas calls have to be made. Mine goes to Singapore and South Korea. Challenging indeed.

Do I have (yet) another speech problem? Did I say IMIT or RMIT? Nah... Couldn't be.

And I guess I now know why my blog is unpopular. It hasn't got pics. True enough.
