first week at work
for the past few days (5 days, to be exact. ever since i started working) i wanted nothing but my bed --- exactly the same feeling that i felt when we were working on our thesis. but the big difference is... when i'm out of the office, i'm not thinking of my work and when I am preoccupied by something else, i can clear my mind quickly.
ewan ko ba! my work load isn't that heavy yet and i'm stuck with people who LOOOOVE coffee breaks. and eto pa... i can start and end my work anytime as long as i finish 8 hrs of work (they call it flexi time). People aren't strict (as of now...) and they are so persistent in answering my "duh" questions. so... i don't know what makes me feel so drained.
I guess i got so excited about this kind of lifestyle ..that i've set all commitments in one week. Or i'm extra pressured (n sometimes feeling aloof), being new in the office. Or cguro naga-adjust pa ako sa location... di pako nasanay cguro sa kakalakad from PBCom Tower to EDSA, through the long walkway in ayala (mwhehee, personal choice for health purposes...)
arrrrrrrrrrgh i just hope things will be a lot better next week.
anyway... my life in the office is, generally, okay. so far. though i spent the whole week reading training n orientation stuff (ngyyeeee yoko pa nmn ng marami binabasa), the upcoming tasks seem exciting. I like the environment... i have my own space, they have a big pantry, and a mini-gym to wake up sleepy heads (i doubt though if i have the guts to use it... in the middle of my working hours.. hehe). tapos people are nice... first lunch ko, i wasn't left out.they love breaks and they do encourage having breaks even if you opt to be workaholic for the day. haha...i'm still uncomfortable whenever i call them with their first names coz i'm the youngest, the fresh grad, n the newly hired. they're too many! up to now, di ko pa rin kilala lahat.
my only prob now is that sometimes i have this feeling that everyone thinks i'm stupid. i've been asking "duh" questions and i've been really slow in understanding instructions. i'm convincing myself now that this is normal (a friend said that it's the same as meeting a stranger with a totally different lingo. aw.. sana nga ganon). unabridged version of this story -- in friends only setting
--alt tab--
a while ago, when the bus passed by annalyn's (the small dept store right after alabang exit), i saw the big sign "back to school SALE!". ugh, i can't believe i'm not a student anymore!
