What does my future lies?

MIDNIGHT!/ Monday, February 25, 2008

There was quite alot of going on in my office today! Or perhaps it only applies to me? Hmm. Between this week and last week, we already have 2 new staffs in my department. 1 of them came this morning and she'd be taking over my job when I leave the company on 14mar. I heard she's going to work for 1 year there! The other staff that came last week is a permanent staff..seems like the employee benefits department has quite a shortage of staff. Then I think 1 staff got sacked last week. That's what I gather..I've been hearing things here and there and put some things together. She hasn't been performing up to standard from what I've inferred.

And so, because of the new perm staff that arrived last week, I've been moving house practically every day. When the new staff Shirley came last monday, I had to move to a seat with a computer. Then another contact staff went on study leave and I could use her computer for my assigned work. When she came back, I had to moved to another staff's place who had gone a long holiday. And today, I was told to move ,again, to the seat where the staff that is no longer with the company sat. So I've got like so many neighbours during my job stint there! But I think this will be last time that I'll be changing seats..

Besides that, I've got more work on my hand now! I was slightly overwhelmed today, because my table was super messy and because of the work I was suddenly tasked to do. The departure of that particular staff meant that part of her workload had been transferred to me. Her table wasn't exactly very neat, so I felt uncomfortable using her place. In a way, I'm forced to become even more efficient as well, because I want to complete all the work that's tasked to me. If I don't finish what I feel I should finish today, it'll pile up. There's just new claims coming in everyday! However, it's not easy task no matter how fast I try and chiong finish my work, especially with the quality which I'm expected to deliever as well. Qualitatively, there's quite alot to complete, so even doing a simple task for sending letters can take me hours to do.

Whee! I saw part of the airshow yesterday! Free of charge as well. Hoho. I was a free rider, looking at the performance in the comfort of the kayak and the sea. But of course I couldn't see the entire show, partly because I wasn't watching the show from the correct angle and partly because visibility wasn't that fantastic.

Kayaking for the past 2 sundays have definitely been effective. I've picked up tips on how to improve on my skills and to correct my mistakes. Thanks to those who've helped me! I hope I can pass my assessment on 23mar! There isn't much time left to perfect my skills now..

And during lunch last sunday, this lady that was roller blading knocked into me and pushed me to the ground. She had difficulty stopping while going down the slope so she asked for help. Naturally, I extended my hand and then she pushed me down just so she could stop herself. She destroyed our lunch in the process! I happened to be holding the food, and I forgot about it..so I had a broken slippers because of the fall and an injured leg. Luckily my physical wounds are healing well.

Then there was yiting's birthday last week! Mingjie, yt and I went ministry of food to celebrate. It's slightly pricey, but I feel that the service there is good. *thumbs up* They have attentive and polite staffs! I'll definitely go back again if an opportunity arises. Not a bad ambiance too. 3 of us shared 2 sets of dinner and sat there for quite long, before heading to starbucks where we got a mini cake for the birthday girl. :D

I think this weekend has been full of surprises as well, in the sense that I got to meet so many for my friends. There was the ntu talk so alot of people my age went for it and I saw many of them..I saw some guy friends at pasir ris mrt yesterday evening too! (:
