In a world of my own

Friday, October 15, 2010

I think it's really ironic that although my supervisor is back, I am doing much more stuff for other people, rather than my supervisor. And when I say more, I really mean MORE! Yesterday, I worked non-stop from 9.30am to 5pm (other than the 1 hour plus lunch break), and today, I worked non-stop from 8.15am to 5.15pm (other than another 1 hour plus lunch break).

Sometimes, I really feel like I'm a 'bao ka liao' worker, or someone who 'da za', meaning, I do all the "loose" work which a LO is not free to do, and the aunties (who does glassware washing plus wiping of stuff) can't really do. Oh well, at least I'm occupied! I spent the past 2 days stock-taking the 1000++ standards in the coldroom and fridge and dessciators. Was so shagged by the time it reached 4pm! I think the greatest thing I'm learning from this internship is really patience. Patience to sit down and do repeated things for hours, patience to wait for people to give me jobs, patience to handle some people. At least one good thing about working is that you really go home without the worry of tests, and homework and assignments and projects. Phew. Total relaxation at home! Let me go get some mindless TV now!
