2pm - 10pm working time. Indeed, changed my life style. I cannot always be together with my love, like I always used to be. I spent around 3 hours and above with my love every single day. But now, after working, I only can meet him either before I go to work or after I finish working. I’m an eleven-o’clock-Cinderella. I can’t stay out too late. When the clock struck 11, and I am not back home yet, my cellphone will be ringing. Dad will ask me to go home…Just imagine, I finish work at 10, and it will take me 20 to 30 minutes (much depends on the traffic and weather) to reach my dear’s place, which means 10.20pm or 10.30pm….and before 11, I will have to go home…arghhh..I hate this kind of feeling. So I always treat my off day (Wednesdays) as a precious day throughout the whole week.
I work on public holidays too. That makes me degraded from a full time gamer to a part time gamer. If the public holiday does not fall on a Wednesday, I will have to work too. I don’t think I get double paid. But choosing another day as a replacement leave instead. I personally think that double paid is better. Not that I’m a “money face” person..because I think I deserve to get paid more for what I am doing, for I’m a diploma student…I feel wasted when I do my job. I’m a computer science student but I love computer graphic design a lot, yet my job is limited to “designing” advertisement whereby everyday I just need to draw rectangular boxes and type words in it and arrange it into the platform. What a LAME job….and do you call this “Design”…lol. If I’m lucky enough, I can really design some advertisements with at least inserting pictures..
Now I know that my job actually includes doing the pagination for the press. Which means what contents fit in which page…that is part of my job too, when my colleague is not around, I will have to do that. The advertisements I do, in precise, should say I type words more than designing..it’s more like arranging how the words gonna appear in the rectangular boxes. You know, when you look at the classified pages in a newspaper, those Vacancies stuff? That’s what I’m talking about. Sometimes I even have to arrange words for Wedding acknowledgment or congratulation for weddings, graduation or birthday…and sometimes obituary @@
I used to think that my job is LAME…and now I still think it’s LAME. Maybe because after 2 months, I get used to what I’m doing and I am coping with it. I can do things faster now yet getting bored most of the time. I can’t even use the Internet computer. I asked from the Head, see if I could also apply for an account to use the Internet computer. And yesterday, he told me that, to apply for the online account, he thought it would be difficult… I answered, “Oh, it’s ok then nevermind.” But deep inside the heart, thinking “WTF?! I just want to kill some time when I have nothing to do by online searching some useful pictures for my advertisement ‘designing’…” Then later he added, “Maybe you can use my account to access the Internet computer..” NANDA KORE..
It’s not like that I hunger for online. I can get FULL ACCESS to the Internet at home, man! If you said the Internet computers are just for official use and only for some specific personnel like the editor, etc…but you know what I saw with my own eyes? Because the computers are just behind my seat, I can easily turn back and watch the screens. I ever see people using it for very unofficial stuff such as MSN messenger, Friendster, forums (looks more like chatting in there), view others’ blogs (which seems to be very personal, or they might want to get the information inside for the press??! I don’t know..)
Sometimes I don’t know to say I hate my job or love my job. It seems simple and I just need to be careful not to make unnecessary mistakes. When I’m busy, I don’t even have time to eat…When I’m free, I can be sitting in front of my computer doing nothing for 2 to 3 hours…But for sure, I know, this is not what I’m looking for. I’ll endure, save money and fulfill my initial dreams. ^^ Oh well, this job does give me some “Benefits”. I get free newspaper everyday. I get to know the movie schedule one day earlier than the others (Part of my job too). Most of the time, I don’t have to be at home and see that face which I don’t quite like. And…er…I get paid. LOL
I think this will be the last chapter on my career review.
I will post some of my works slightly later when I’m free.
Include that in Appendix
lol, too much of my formal terms?
I’m still struggling with my final year project documentation..
