My first day at work.
Wow.. the starting up of the Macintosh machines in the office really woke me up. I am in my new job! I was 15 mins early than Jo and Keith and upon reaching the office, when Keith start up his Mac, I thought I was back to reality again :) In fact, this morning, when I woke up much earlier (end up I took up my sister's regular time) just in case, it brought back memories of how both of us would fight over who gets to the toilet first, in my previous job. It's all coming back...
Everyone was rather nice, though they probably are rather polite to me since I am at my first day of work. I know this kinda awkwardness is bound to come, and I hope as time goes by, I will slowly blend in. Or probably because I was wearing quite an executive top and pants (thank goodness I forgo the thought of wearing a long sleeve and opt for a short sleeve instead!), they may think I am thinking that I am living the "shenton way girl" dream. haha... I think I will probably tone down my dressing bit by bit. Not so sudden that tomorrow when they see me, they will like.. huh..wah standards drop so fast.. ahahah.. yeah, I will be more relax on the dressing. I don't want to stress the others.. haha.. think comfort and protection from the air-con is the rule of thumb.
Hmm.. alot of things to do. Wow, I am even given the opportunity to air my views (I had none on my first day) on the proposals.. Gee.. I thought it would come, but wow.. not so fast man.. It's kinda fun and Sherry is such a good conceptual person.. ! My goodness, her ideas are very well thought of and very structured. Really ought to learn from her. Azman was nice.. he joked with me during the meeting. Ching is the gentle administrator, mebbe cos not familiar with me, so also very polite to me. The other designer guys are probably not familiar with me cos mebbe its the designer thing. Hopefully, the tension will come down as the days go by.
No matter how awkward I felt on my first day, the time seems to have passed by rather fast. Amazing. I really hope I will be useful tomorrow. I didn't answer any phone call today. I should do it tomorrow. Otherwise, I will look like an idiot sitting down there waiting for instructions :P
My first day of work. I think everyday I will give 5 words to describe what I feel every tiem I blog about my work. Should be a good gauge of my progress.
Today: Amazing. Thankful. Interesting. Aspiring. Exciting.
