start of a new 'year'
Saturday, July 07, 2007 @ 12:16 pm
well, it's the first working week of july and the start of our new financial year!
I'm officially an A2 now, which only means more job responsibilities, heavier work load but of course HIGHER pay! :)
I'm thankful that I was able to see some salary increment when I'm only into the 10th month on this job. So it's not too bad after all ;)
Was initially booked on a job that was to be stationed in office and i tot how wonderful it can be to just slack around before my BIG job (5-weeks stint at Bt Timah with a not so nice client) next week. But lo and behold, I was 'summoned' to this job at Woodlands for 1 week.
Well, obviously I dun have a choice so I just went ahead.
But well it turns out to be a blessing in disguise! I noe one of the other A2 on that job and she's nice and friendly. Plus there's an intern guy from NTU and a quite chio Team In-charge on the job as well.
Our team was practically crazy, coupled with crazy client (but she's one helluva lady, SUPER friendly) who cracks jokes on the first day I reported for work. I was quite taken aback at her attitude and only responded with a politically-correct smile. But after 3 days, knowing the 'pattern' of the client and the audit team better, I began to loosen up and eventually laughed my head off! Even the client commented that I loosen up after 3 days. :P
During this week, I also found out something about myself: I'm more capable in my work and level of technical knowledge has improved as well! *grinz* I felt proud that I understand my work and can even guide my intern on the stuff to do and provide some opinion to my fellow A2 when she has doubts. It felt great knowing what I was doing now, unlike the kind of confusion I was experiencing many months ago.
I guess, I did grow up and learn something during the past 10 months. And I've actually start to like my job already (minus long working hours). I've learnt to work more efficiently and adopted the 'on-the-ball' attitude towards my work. I guess I'm slowly building up my level of satisfaction, and I'm thankful to Him for making all these possible. :)
me and my fellow A2, Kai Jun.
