First Day On The Job
Today, things turned out to be wonderful to Zhengxian. Not only he finally got the parts to assemble his new computer, he managed to get his 1st proper job together with Sihao. They will be working with Newstead, a company that I'm familiar with as the shop sells software to them. Well, they did a one day job weeks back but I doubted they will get any proper working experience there since it's just stocktaking. I feel that Zhengxian might be easy on the job since he is a geek on computer stuffs while Sihao is a newbie to it. But don't we learn how to walk? LOL
Kinda bring me back to the time when I was forced to look for a job. Which was my 1st job. Holidays came and the folks at home didn't want me to stay at home and waste time so I had to look for a job. At that time, I didn't know the possible ways to look for one and relied on the papers. I was looking for vacancy in a gameshop which of course didn't happen at that time. Out of desperation and a slight burst of interest, I set foot into Lawman. Yup, the company that did the infamous 'soft' jeans. And it was a roller coaster ride.
Being a quiet person, I went through a hard time communicating with customers and of course my colleagues. But there was something in me that brought the change finally. I love to watch people. As in watching how they react and speak thus mimicking them or absorbing their traits and improvise. And the stay at Lawman didn't just become a school holiday event, it became a profession. Till that day when that crazy event happened, I bid farewell to Lawman. But I learned a lot from the experience. Actually, in fact, I got invited back when they were having manpower shortage. I refused since I was getting paid 'peanuts'.
Looks like I will have some accompany on the way to work and back. Just hope that they get stationed at Funan. I wonder how they will look in the uniforms... (^o^)>>
