Fuse Blown

Everyday is so different, so 'interesting' and 'exciting'. There is nv a single day that is like another, and there shld be no other day that will be like today... wat craps..

So sorry that I have been flooding my daily work experiences in my blog. I know its a bit turn off to some of u, but this is one good channel that i can release my pressure and get the sorrows off my chest.

This morning i was quite loss in the workplace. My manager was away for a 1/2 day meeting and my foreman has taken a long leave. I am left solely in charged of the operations. Every minor things ppl will end up looking for me, and being so new here, how the heck am i going to know what decisions to make? But somehow thats the best way to learn, just that i dun like being in this transition and 'uncomfortable' zone. The feeling of being a 'xin jiao' is not so good...

This afternoon, I was thrilled that 4 IA students will be attached to me starting next month. Besides the existing NTU student working here as part-timer, i would have 5 students under my charge. Haha, but on what grounds do I have to take charge of them? Well.... i'll see how.

One of my admin staffs came over and passed me thick stack of documents for signing and approvals. They include claims, MCs, leave forms, Muslim Friday prayer offs, components order forms etc etc... We all know that we must be careful in signing documents, but there s really too much everyday. In the end signed them half-blindly. The admin staff later came to me that my signature is too simple, she advised me to change to a more complicated ones so that my staff will not be able to forge my signature. Arg... i hve been trying in vain for years to come out with a decent signatures.. . thumbprints anyone!?

Not long ago, another 'notorious' taxi driver came and I was tasked to handle him. Waseh the english terms he used were so cheeem.. and he even has a tape recorder to tape down our conversations. Strangely, I have nv lost my cool to these angry ppl, probably becos i know they are not angry at me but at the situation or at my staffs. "Its not my fault wat" haha... I think what ppl want most is respect.. and if u keep smiling and nodding ur head at them, and after they have finished blabberings, they will leave the place a happier man.

My foreman said to me: I will see when is the day ur fuse start to blow...
