A Hard Day's Night - The Beatles

You will, under no circumstances truly be able to comprehend something unless you experience/participate in it. Damn straight; accurately as hell! Alright, I'll admit that I did underestimate the demands I'd face when I was dead set to take up a job offered during my insanely long holidays. I knew it would be difficult, somewhat taxing and definitely a little inconvenient and I'd like to say I wasn't warned but I was, *chuckles* butohwellthat'sthat. Ladies and gentlemen, I hereby stand corrected. As ever..

A taste of work will definitely be a time where you'll experience new massive degrees of emotions that you never knew you had or could reach. "Fatigue", "stress" and "pressure" are merely words and can't possibly hold meaning for what it describes. I'm not saying my job is BAD, oh no. It's just the whole, being a newbie and being utterly foreign to these "shores", these "natives" and their "activities". Haha! People at work aren't weirdos, they just probably have high hopes for a total stranger to their company and treat her like she's been there for years. Sigh, but they need the help and I could use the exposure. I scratch your back, you scratch mine then.

Gut-wrenching would best suite the times I've been at HB. I mean, I had to dial up companies I've never heard of, query about stuff I have no clue about and act like I am able to grasp whatever is uttered on the phone. Damn. Its not the calling, its the calling constantly and the not-being-well-educated on the subject bit. Not tough, just I'd rather be doing something of variety instead of A to.. Well, A. I mean, I finished a sum of RM32.02 in about, 2/3 days! Calling my superiors and what not, spent mostly on job related tasks since I don't make phone calls often. Now, its like I have a phone bill of a totally insecure, overprotective psycho ex girlfriend.

There is a flip side to it though and it ain't perks. Work definitely widen my scope as to how work might be in the future. It taught me a universe of values, lessons, methods and what not. Dealing with the press is no walk in the park, I mean, people can actually slit your wrists if stuff goes wrong, figuratively. An eye-opener all in all, I've learnt to enforce greater discipline upon myself, ensuring that I'm in check repeatedly and not making a monkey out of myself. As well as taking initiative whenever, wherever. People hire people who they deem as capable and so, I have to BE that. Its about earning what you get and not just enjoying what you receive just because you can. So yeah, that's the working life for now, till July until college comes back in full swing :)
