Friday, December 23, 2005,7:38 PM first day of work
today is my first day of work. gosh. HEADACHE. it's such a no-brainer. haiz.
in case u guys dunno yet, im working as an admin assistant at HSBC. sounds cool? i tot so too! haha. ok.. but the truth is.. its not. sigh.
me and my sis were rushing to the office cus we were slightly later than 830 which was supposedly our reporting time. BUT... we were slightly late.. so being anxious and hoping not to be late.. we RUSHED to the place. got stuck at the entrance cus they need staff pass to get thru and then.. got blocked at the department counter or receptionist or watever u call that.. cus again.. we need a staff pass. in the end, we had to call the pple inside to come out and bring us in.. then we realised.. the guy whom we are supposed to look for(jenson) is on leave till tuesday. wat?!!?!?! make us RUSH all the way there and then he is not even there?! nvm...
the other in charge(a female) brought us in.. talked to her colleague. introduced three colleagues to us// and then.. my sis and i stood there. one min.. two min..three min..five min.. thirty min.. we hear them talking crap..saying they half day today blah blah blah..while the two of us look like idiots.. blocking the narrow pathway. at that instant.. i was thinking.. PLS just tell us what to do and we will get to wokr.. we seriously dun wana stand arnd llooking stupid and most imptly, blocking the pathway! argh. nvm..
at 9am.. we went to get our temporary staff pass// there was two.. one to get thru the entrance.. thatcosts 50 if u lose it.. and one to get thru the door tt costs 20 if u lose it. so.. lose both.. lose 70dollars. well..ok.. n ot bad..quite fun.. got staff pass.. like quite pro. haha.
got allocated a com each.. gave us a piece of paper.. gosh.. we were kinda.. slightly shocked when we knew wat we were facing. each piece of paper.. has got about more than a 100 digits.. for example.. one line has got the digits 0024 5689.. and we have to type the digits into the com and then delete the account or something liedat. imagine facing an ENTIRE page of digits that were of font about 10 or 8!!! doing th SAME thing ussing the keyboard.. using the SAME keys.. see the paper.. type.. delete.. see hte paper.. type.. delete.. see the paper..type..delete. wha.. CROSS-EYED!!! it was FREAKING boring. and.. its EXTREMELY bAD and tiring for my eyes.. and my neck.. and my shoulders.. and i had to sit there for like a FEW hrs about 5 straight hrs doing that stupid brainless thing. wat an insult to my intelligence. haha.. of cus i cant handle too difficult stuff.. but at least give me SOME variety!!! argh. id seriously rather type paragraphs of words then to look at a WHOL PAGE OF DIGITS!!! end of the day.///damn tired and headache somemore. btw.. the pantry is quite fei. they dun have cups.. so my whole day.. i only drank a cup of cuppucino from ljs.. which isnt eactly up to standard.. but OK LA.. haha. u can try it if u want. hmm..drink so little water.. no wonder my lips aare so dry.
hmm..l;ooking at the bright side.. the staff there are quite friendly.. though only about 4 talked to us. haha. oh.. nd we got chocolates.. ice cream cus its xmas eve eve.. but.. all that choch cannot compensate for the suffering i have to endure. haiz// nvm... at least its only 2 weeks. thank goodness. i reckon both my sis and i deleted about a few hundreds of platinum card accounts.... dunno if its warning letter to those account or delete the entire account.. BUT.. there's seriously nothing to be happy about. WHY?? haha. according to the person, they have about 20 000 accounts to delete and there are only 5 pple including us who are doing the job. so.. each has to do about 4000. gosh.
