this is the song I hear for the past 3 days on the billboard of OUB Plaza. Kind of aptly described my disgusting job of "no-day-no-night"

Was quite pissed off with my manager when I received late notice on Tue evening about my sudden booking back to BNP for 3 days of vouching. I would appreciate if you could communicate with me first before sending the email to the planner and cc me to 'notify' me. That is not communicate ok, more like a COMMAND.

Anyway, despite how reluctant I was to go back on the job, I had no choice but to do it. Vouching seemed easy, even though it's for almost 200 samples. But i was wrong, it takes time to understand exactly what I'm vouching and ensure I was doing the right thing to address the risks. (Pardon me for the technicalities, I can't be bothered to summarize in lay-man terms)

Had been staying late till almost 9+, 10pm and I can really feel the toll on me. It should be some brainless work, but somehow I felt as if I'm using more brain power than I had when I was preparing for exams. Client was unhappy of pulling out tonnes of files for me and not to mention that they were having antoher 2 groups of regulatory inspect and internal auditors at the same time as well. I would be pissed off myself for having so many buggers.

MB said i'm too pampered already. Without fail, for every job that I had so far, I will always have something to complain about (wouldn't you). Everything is not perfect what, complaining is just a way to vent out my grumbles and frustration, rather than bingeing or getting all depressed. But then again, I quite agree with his analysis, I guess I'm really quite sheltered in the past and now is only the BEGINNING of everything. I'm so scaared... :S:S:S

And i learnt a very impt survival rule yesterday from my senior: No matter what, don't pour your heart out to people whom you're not close with. It may sound sad to hear that, but I can't agree more that this is really the way it works now when u're in this whole shit altogether. You duno if those you think you can trust will backstab you behind ur back or make use of you as a tool to get back at someone they dislike. This is a dog-eat-dog world, nothing else.

I wonder if they have a book on the Dummy Guide of Survival in the working world. Or maybe I can start accumulating my experiences and publish one when i'm 50.

On a sidenote, i think me and hOi have telepathy. I was jus finished reading her blog where she mentioned that I should call her and ask about her eventful day, my hp rang and voila! It was Ms Hoi. Talk about coincidence man!!! But it was really good to hear from and bitching about each other's lousy jobs and the planner. Hah :D I guess we all need such friends to relieve us some 'pain' from work.

A happier note, it's Lee Hom's concert @ Indoor Stadium tonight!!!! Hv been waiting for 2months since the tix were bought!! After that it's supper the guys and MB at Bt Timah!!! Can't wait for that too, so long nv see each other liao, I think it's gonna be another bitching session!!! muahahaha :P

That's all from me now. This entry is to show everyone that I'm still alive and kicking.

Hallelujah!
