A day at work

Today is my second day at work, I was actually dreading to go to work because I have to wake up early... However today seems much better than the first day of work. During my first day of work, it was more like an art and craft session. Seriously, all I did was fold paper, cut and paste stuff.

By the way, if you are thinking that I am skiving (is this the right word?) work then you're wrong! I'm using my lunch break to type this.

Okay, back to the point, basically thats all I did besides filing on the first day. It was a little awkward for me because when the HR Manager was showing me around the office, everyone would look up at me and I'm like: Ermergerd don't look at me!!

Today was much better and I started having longer conversations with the colleagues that I am working with. (LOL I sound like a creep) Anyway, during those conversations, I found out that there was a direct bus (100) from home to work! She was like: "Gosh how can you not know?" and I went; "Oh I didn't know". This means that I don't have to walk all the way from my workplace to the MRT and then take a bus back!! Woohoooooo!

I also did a little data entry (very little actually) and had to make some overseas phone calls to clients. I was super noob with the telephone calling. I had to ask how to use the phone, how to talk to the clients, I even had to type out what I was really going to say to the client and I REALLY SAID word for word from my "script". I think it was quite hillarious for my colleague because I was walking here and there trying to find out how to do these kind of things which were supposed to be basic. One time I almost screwed up a phone call and luckily my colleague was nearby to fix the problem. It was a very serious problem by the way. It was just that I did not know what to say since it was not included in my script XD

My lunchbreak is going to end it about 40 min? Wow long lunch break. Actually my lunch break should have started about 1 hour 20 min ago but I don't think anyone would mind if I have a longer lunch break since I'm having it in the office. Yeah, I did not go out for lunch today because I did not want to clash with the lunch crowd. I really hate crowded places because its hot, there will be a queue, you have to find seats and its crowded.

From the amount of things that I am typing in this post, I'm sure you can see how bored I am, but seriously, I think that this job is a very good experience for me. I learnt how to use an office phone today LOL!
