    My First Day At New Job

    Lying in bed until 8.20am is not a good idea when you are starting work at 9am. You gotta rush your ass through the shower, get dressed in a hurry and end up falling over the laundry basket before grabbing the wrong breakfast bar and end up eating only quarter of the wan tan mee. It was the case for me this morning and caused me some headache in trying to achieve a healthy breakfast.

    It was a lovely, cold and rainy morning. Was it not for my mum knocking on my room's door, I wouldn’t have known that the morning arrived and kept sleeping until the moment the sun came out and realized "OMG! It's my first day at new job!". I was almost late to work but thank God, the traffic wasn't that bad and I managed to reach on time ( that was quite early according to my standard ). Imagine coming late on your first day at new job, how bad ass.

    I showed up at 9am and spent the whole day doing nothing but sitting there and reading some document that doesn’t require much time to finish. My laptop is not ready, so no internet, no access to the company documents. It’s a big company and, as expected, everything is slow. My first day was something which is not relatively personal. Like any big corporation, things are done systematically. But then again, they are lacking in the sense of providing training to newbies like me. Felt the first lost of freedom in this wave of unknown blue sea. People here are busy, no time, can't talk much, can't help much, got lotsa work. Face it, the market pace is fast for IT.

    The funny thing about my department is 80% of them are females, even my assistant is a female. So I'm like surrounded with bunch of females with different types of perfume, you know those smell - varieties of smell. It was one hell of a boring first day and as I was about to leave at 6.30pm, I went over to the boss's room and told him I'm off to never never land. That was a big mistake! He dragged me in to the room for a "short" conversation ( lasted 1 fuxing hour ) and he complaint about me wearing a black color tie. Seriously, I don't fuxing see the problem with wearing a black color tie. He insisted that wearing a black tie symbolizes negative appearances for someone like me who is doing business. He added that people only wear black tie when they are attending funeral. I don't know how many people agree to this but I am certainly not one of them. I got off after hearing much of his preaching, took a warm shower and relax on my bed for a couple of minutes before I went out for tea with friends. And I know, the saga will continue tomorrow .......... till then, I gotta rest my sleepy ass off now.

    [3:50 AM]
