I won't exactly call it a wonderful start...
Considering I was caught in a terrible jam (from upper thomson, all the way to queensway) early in the morning, and feeling urgent due to the cuppa celery juice and milo I drank. Yeah, so I was late on the first day of work, even tho' I woke up at six, and left house at six forty-five. So much for the GREAT START! *roars*
Workplace was quite pleasant. Why? There's great supply of beverages in the pantry, they even have frozen meals! Yes, free frozen meals so that we won't be hungry when we stay back to work late. hah hah. According to big big boss, its not to be taken as dinner before we leave work. The office is a "model office" in the organization, so they have adopted the "open concept". ha ha. And my desk is very strategically located but it is cluttered with three terminals (don't ask me why so many...) The moment I was really happy was when I saw this metal name tag with my name engraved on it at the desk (yes! I am finally a perm working staff!).Anyway the location of my seat is so good I think I needta get a few mirrors soon. heh heh. Look at the layout below (pardon me for the lousy and drawing.. most details are omitted cuz might be classified! ha ha...):
Now, to talk about the people. My colleagues are all very nice and friendly. From the big big boss, to the big boss, to the boss, to peers, to the new hires and out-sourced talents. All so friendly as we did our introduction one round the whole department. The new hires including me, are three guys from NTU and two ladies from NUS.
Three hours into the "wonderful first day of work" was lunch. And big boss treated us to lunch at Keppel Club! wow right? Yeah we are lucky cuz it coincides with the milestone of a project, so it was a two-in-one celebration.
There were a few more hours of admin work, reading, idling, arranging things and yadayada in the afternoon. After the big big boss talked to us, it was finally time to go back. The end of the "wonderful first day of work" at 7pm. And 1 and 1/2hrs later, I was back home happily gorging down my dinner.
Maybe I'll go for run? What run? Its two more hours before bedtime and the beginning of the "wonderful second day of work"!
