I never knew I love Weekends - that much. However, ever since I started work - weekends happened to be the best days of my life!
Working life is terrible - makes you craves and yearn for schooling days. There were days whereby I nearly cried out of sheer frustration. Now I knew for sure, I am not cut out for Business Admin stuff ....
My department being Doc_Control, short for documentation control. The department itself is alright, its' the work that comes along that's irritating. Inputing Data into the System would be fine if there's no error message or error in the forms itself submitted by the people from another department.
Calling them up and notifying them of the mistakes or errors was a 'must' - since the data obviously must be updated into the system. When they're not sure why there's such a setting with the data-record, they find it a hassle as they would have to double check and confirm with their colleague before getting back to us. For us to input the specified data, they would then have to sign on the documents - meaning to come over to our place and authorized us to remove whatever settings had been there before.
Yet, it would be fine if they do not take their frustration out on me. I mean - sure, each and everyone of us have our bad days. Especially problems came up just minutes before work ends - then it would frustrates us to no end. Not only do they want to go home on time, even I do - too. When they vent their frustrations on me - whom can I vent my woes and sorrows of being subjected to their raw anger to ?! No one, I can only swallowed their complaints and bad attitute myself. Forcing myself to remain polite, while they responded to my request with irritation.
Do they really think I enjoy calling them up and enduring their harsh tone while speaking through the phone ?! That's the reason why I prefer emailing them - but after emailing them, they would called me back to question further. Cooperative ones will understand my position and tried to co-operate, but un-cooperative ones will whine and complained about the hassle of having to come down and make those changes, before their requests of updating the data could be made.
That was the reason why I now adored my weekends, for I can be away from them and do what I really wanted to do.
Yesterday evening, I met Evelyn at Jurong East for Dinner. I must say I had a wonderful time with her - we talked mostly, while having dinner. I had no idea how long we had been sitting in the dining place and just talked - we complained to one another of our job scope and envy one another position. I complained to her of the ridiculous things that I had seen happening in my office environment while she complained hers' to me.
When we are on our way home, we both admit that we missed our schooling days. We even chatted for awhile about our future - and what we wanted to really do in future. Last thursday, on the 13 I met Xinhui - and we also talked about our office work and the environment. I guess, it will be the same - when I meet up with Xinhui again, next month on the 13 of October.
Yesterday, I even called Xinhui up for a chatting session during lunch hours. Despite the line getting cut off each time - due to reception problem on her side, I must admit the short minutes of conversation do take my mind off certain annoying issues.
I now have a habit of bringing my diary to work, and just write in it whenever I had things to say. Since unlike schooling days, I can go to the teacher for advice or to visit the school counsellor whenever I felt the need to rant and complained. Where's the shoulder for me to cry on - when I really desires it ?!
