Me boarding the train every morning is akin to fighting a war and sadly, I lose 3-4 battles every day before emerging victory. I usually end up immensely worn out before actual work starts and that ain’t a good thing at all. Honestly, this is the part I hate most about working life – the peak hour crowd. The biggest drama occurred this morning when I was pushed by the crowd and lost one shoe amidst the chaos! It was simply crazy how the crowd just pushed me the moment the door opened and before I know it, one of my shoes disappeared! Like seriously?! Just imagine the awkwardness when I boarded the train at Jurong East when I only had one shoe on! Not forgetting how I walked to office in that pathetic state this morning!! MY SAD LIFE!! T_____T

Anyway, work effectively started on 2 November and my first 3 days at work were pretty mundane and regimental. I became good friends with the photocopier/scanner and pdf-ed a mountain of documents. I perpetually stood in front of the machine for hours each day either photocopying or pdf-ing stuff. I become so good at it until the extent that I can multitask pdf-ing and shredding, effectively hogging both machines! I IS AWESOME~!

However, things changed the moment Boss comes back from her trip. It was indeed amazing how I was put in charge of 3 projects after a short half an hour meeting. I guess Boss really wants to give me the necessary HR exposure which I requested for when we had a short conversation the first time I met her. The workload now is no joke and I’m involved in every other thing that needs liaising and communication. I guess this is good because I’m exposed to all aspects of HR now, making my work really really fun. There is always something new to learn everyday and I kind of like how enriching it is now.

In addition, I've a really really really patient mentor who never fails to answer my endless questions. He is always there to guide me whenever I'm in doubt and teaches me from step one. I'm really glad I wasn't thrown aside to fend for myself but instead have him to show me how it's actually done. THANK YOU DENNIS! T____T

The best part of all was the fact that I had a pay adjustment on my 6th day at work. How awesome can that be? I honestly never expected something like that since I didn't have any prior HR experience and them employing me in the first place was simply unexpected. Dolly said that Boss made that decision for the adjustment cause she really wanted me to try the full spectrum of HR instead of what a usual contract staff would do. To be honest, I'm really thankful for this opportunity and I would really put in my all and learn as much as I can during my 3 months stint at SIT. Whether or not they will convert me into a full-time staff ain't my main concern now because at this point in time, I know that I'm part of the HR family and that they treat me really well.

I really like what I'm doing at this moment so I guess this is a good start for me! ^^ Cheers to an awesome week ahead!! HURHUR!!
