Fade away..
Wednesday, December 06, 2006
Its 2 weeks since I started work..and strangely enough I feel quite settled already. Even though I'm being isolated from the other temps who are working in frontend, I'm having quite a fun time with the staff in my own department. They seem nice and friendly enough, as compared to those in my friends' department. Maybe its the culture instilled by the supervisor *gasp - mollifying!*, or its just that the people here are plain nice, but I suppose being separated from the flock is pretty much a blessing in disguise.

So far so good I guess..although the starting off took many huge leaps of faith and bravery. I was really very scared of making calls and asking for payment, especially at others' inconvenience. But now I'm pretty much hoping for calls, for contacts on the phone so I can increase my productivity. I suppose its the competitive nature of my workplace, where daily efficiency is monitored and broadcast to everybody in the CCMU department, which makes me want to be as good as the permstaff in my work, even though I'm just temping and have no quota whatsoever. Its something to prove to myself, and that's important enough. After Eric showed me the charts I somehow was motivated, or maybe scared into working even harder, pushing customers even harsher for payments. I just hope I don't go overboard, or incur the wrath of anybody along my line of work..

Furthermore, I have my own desk and comm, as compared to the others who flutter around for tables. I have pretty colleagues left right centre, helpful and talkative at that, so its an added bonus! :P Hehe..but if you're thinking what I know you are thinking, it's not...i'm just glad I'm not in frontend with sulky isolated permstaff working their heads off everyday! At least when I'm bored I can turn around and talk to the people in my vicinity, rant about army or converse about uni!

I wonder how I would be feeling about work 2 months down the road though..

There's a Hole in my

Sidewalk
I
I walk down the street.
There is a deep hole in the sidewalk.
I fall in.
I am lost...I am helpless.
It isn't my fault.
It takes forever to find a way out.

II
I walk down the same street.
There is a deep hole in the sidewalk.
I pretend I don't see it.
I fall in again.
I can't believe I am in the same place.
But, it isn't my fault.
It still takes a long time to get out.

III
I walk down the same street.
There is a deep hole in the sidewalk.
I see it is there.
I still fall in. Its a habit.
My eyes are open.
I know where I am.
It is my fault. I get out immediately.

IV
I walk down the same street.
There is a deep hole in the sidewalk.
I walk around it.

V
I walk down another street.
