The title says it all! I cannot stand it! You see, I have just moved on to a new career path which initially I really looked forward too, but now, I dont!!! Everything is so alien to me, the industry, the people, the jargon! I miss my ex colleagues and my previous freedom of going to work at 9am, sneaking out lunch at 11.30am, coming back at 2pm and driving home at 4.30pm. I am still adapting to the new environment and the new people. Even though it has only be 2 weeks, I dread going to work! I have been crying so much it's not funny anymore. Yes, everyone has been telling me to really think about it, whether this is what I want to do. But I dont know! To make things simple, I am going to list down reasons why I hate my new job! 1) I dont have a parking spot! This is important ok? Keep reading! This is so sad! I have to wake up at 615am everyday to get ready and tokyo drift to work to beat the other drivers for a pathetic free parking spot! It is just crazy! I normally arrived work at about 710am and I only start work at 845am! Which means I have about 1 1/2 hours to daydream about my next career as a supermodel (if you're wondering, I am 5 feet 3 and weigh as heavy as a truck hence the daydreaming). You see, I am not a cheapskate, I dont mind paying for a car park, but the basement parking has no vacant spot. I can try applying for it but I need to wait for 6 months, at least! 6 months? So what am I going to do till then? I cannot be staying in my car daydreaming everyday innit? 2) The employees are EXPECTED to work late. Meaning you will be given plenty of tasks to finish and that you have to multi tasks in between your given job description with other ad hoc projects! And if you go back at 5.45pm sharp, they will give you the evil stare! Eerie evil stare! So you have to pretend to be busy and stay as late as you can! 3) My new colleagues does not belief in having lunch. Majority of them will packed their lunch and eat at their humble workstation, alone! Even the zombies in Resident Evil do lunches together, agree? I mean yes they fight amongst themselves to eat human flesh but hey, they eat together! I totally do not condone to that idea! I mean, lunch means lunch. I dont care what I'm having but lunch means going out for a break with actual humans, and no, blow-up dolls are not included. These people do not share the same sentiment as I do! I wonder why? 4) The system is so blardy complicated, which explains why I need to attend training for the whole month! I have to memorise 84 screens, 7 different applications, juggle between calls and my team, manage the product that I am assigned to and also multi tasks between work. Please be reminded that this is my 2nd week, thank you! 5) The people here are ice cold. Totally un-cool, they are dead serious people! Their jokes are based on work and the system applications, like dear old Gilbert. They dont really mingle or talk. I dont know what to say!!! How can you work like that!! 6) No internet access. Do I even need to $%%**^%#@# elaborate? Are these reasoning good enough? Or I am just picking on excuses because I am thrown to an unfamiliar place and I am not used to working hard! Back in the good old days, I dont even work. And even that I complained about how work is so stagnant, how stupid I have become and that we are always fighting to make things work. But now thinking about it, I really miss the flexibility of my work, my great ever cursing boss, my fun loving lazy colleagues, the crazy jokes cracked by VENUS and also the unlimited internet access that was given to us, surf baby surf! Sigh, what am I supposed to do? I am feeling so confused and lost. Should I give myself 6 months to adapt? What is my time line again? |
