My 1st day at W-O-R-K

Well.. So far, what I've done is complain, complain and more complaining on how sucky my job is. And it's only my 1st day at work!

I'm so not cut out to be a working girl! Ahahah..

Let's hear out why I hate my first day so far. So today was the 1st day of orientation, and there's 3 other people with me. All Chinese boys who prefer to group together and talk in their Mandarin. Why we don't get along much:

1. I'm a girl
2. I don't speak MANDARIN ok!
3. They already have friends who work in the company..

Lunch was awkward! And those intervals in between all the activities was too. There I sat all alone, not understanding what they were talking about. Poor ME! LOL.. Then there's the pay (less than half of what my sis made when she 1st started work), and the holidays!! 8 days/wk? How am I gonna survive? I'm the queen of taking days off!! I like Fridays off and now I have to work on a Saturday too??

See, I have a dad that had a 90 days/yr holiday once (though I think he's back at 30) and a mum of similar days too. I'm used to my mum taking time off work to pick/send me to the airport. Wheee... And now I can't even go out of the company's compound without a release letter? Even out for lunch!! Wow, I feel so compounded already! ahahaha...

And I went to complain to my sister.. And guess what! She told me she just received an Ipod Shuffle from Shell! And she got an Ipod Touch too from the place she worked! Arghh.. Jealous jealous!!!

But it was nice to hear from friends who remembered it was my 1st day at work. And from an aunt who called to ask how it went (and the first thing she asked was "were you sleeping?" I am the ratu for sleeping too btw..

I complain a lot, but I'll give this job and myself a lot of time to adjust too.. Let's hope the 2nd day doesn't go as depressing as it was today..
