Hiccup On The Job

Yoz~ tis morning I missed my stop by 2 stations. Lol, that’s wat u get for getting too comfy in LRT. Anyway, it been a month since I started work here and now wat do I think about it? Well, frankly… not too well. Quite a few of things dun go too well with me here work-wise.

Well, before I start bitching bout it, I do have a few nice thing to say bout tis company of mine. For starters, most (almost all I think) staffs here are overly friendly. They smile, they greet where ever I walked past by, they invite you to sit along at lunch – make me feel like Gordon in HL2, lol. Well I guess it is the culture of tis company. Even my two co-workers in my department is easy to get along wif. A big thanks for looking after this newbie for the past month. Heh. Speaking of culture here, staff are “encouraged” to take part in activities organized by the company. Hell, I done more exercise in the past month than the entire year of 2005… lol. The company do take extra effort in the recreation and activities for the staffs here. Still trying to get used to it. Still, I nvr been in a corporate company before. Just yesterday we celebrated Mooncake festival while breaking fast. I still think I working since I have video shoot the whole event. Hope it was an OT. *grin*

Ok, as for my problem.. well, it been more or less the same since i first work here. Yeap, tool problem and some mismanagement. Not to say my company sucks (well, it’s now a really successful one that is) but things just don’t go well in my department, for me at least. You see, I been given the responsibility to create a corporate video for the company. The thing is my department doesn’t have the machine decent enough to work with. OMG, you must be crazy to expect me to make an animation laden video with an office use laptop. Even Micheal Schumacher can’t win a F1 race if given only a Kancil or at best, a Toyota Celica. *sweats* Ok, 3 weeks ago… with much difficulty on the “budget” we finally brought a decent (hei, wat can u get with RM 1100 nowadays) PC to get started. Problem solved or so I thought.
After some days of animating work, the higher ups decided to use the PC for some confidential paperwork and printing. And since it’s confidential the PC is totally restricted. Now, the thing that is totally unbelievable, I have to use a laptop for the meantime. HELLO~ paperwork with power PC and animated video with office laptop… is there anything right about it? Even the superior from the graphic department who oversees my project shakes his head in disbelieve when he heard tis turn of event. Sigh~
And now I stuck here with nothing much I can do. I even have to content/busy/force myself with meager jobs like arranging table chair for an event or sending letters/invoices/etc to 1 department or another. That even if there anything to do… Well, at least I got to know the people around. Heh.

Another thing is the higher ups like to screw anyone who didn’t get things done, even it’s not entirely their fault. I beginning to feel the pressure since I’m on the corporate video and it been delayed for some time. Anyway, I pitied my immediate superior. He stuck between a rock and a hard place… Well, that’s wat u expect for working under someone else.

Anyway, by next week I’ll get the PC back and hope things dun get interrupted again.. It really taking a toll on my morale. Considered everything, it’s a good place to work in and hope I’ll be more productive. Gambate ne~
