time to revive my blog...its been a week since i logged on..lol

well, last week went from lousy and crappy to 'ok'. well um, as mentioned, i screwed an interview on monday, went to fill up something on tuesday and collected my 'Minutes to Midnight' CD and was called up for an interview by E2 Power, some subsidiary of OCBC bank. at first, i am really having second thoughts about the position there but what the heck, i went and gave it a shot. that fella asked me to be there at abt 1030 as my interview session was at 11. i reached at 10 and waited will 1145 then only i am asked into the interview room. not that there was a person before me so i was like " what the hell?" plus the people there wasnt that friendly at all. sure the place is nice, but as you exit the lift and head towards the glass door, people on the other side of the wall walk pass you as thou you were some animal in the zoo. can't they even bother to open the door and ask? customer service konon. luckily i wasnt the person who was the 'display' as i invited myself in with some postman who were delivering stuff there. just told that staff who opened the door that i was here for the interview.

the interview went ok i guess but i doubt i'll get the job the moment i left my seat. the interviewer said, and i qoute " banking is not your field and your field is more on IT". so i was, well ok. don't care. just hope la at that moment, plus other reasons i might not like the job is 1)cyberjaya is waaaayy to far 2) i dont want to work when everybody is sleeping 3) "Banking is not your field" ...lol

so went home and got a call from Datacom, the company that which interview i screwed up on monday. the manager of the department i was applying for gave me a second chance. i was like oOoOKay....so i asked why. apparently, i screwed the interview but my assessment was good, so i kinda got the position la. asked for time to think over and gave him the answer the following day. so yea..i am employed starting at 1st June as a technical support and earning a cool RM@%^& per month. im undergoin training at the moment...so yea..busy busy.

several stuff crossed my mind as i think,
pros 1) secure a job early, eases my stress as i am stressed before i got the call
2) quite a good pay, so yea
3) is the kind of job field i wanted
cons 1) i have to start work early, no more rest
2) start work, less time to go holiday ( signing away my freedom, lol)
3) that area is freakin jam in the morning and the evening.
well, at the plus side of the job, dresscode is CASUAL. meaning jeans and t-shirt to work...lol
my colleagues are friendly and my boss seem to be a fun person to lepak with...so far so good la..but apparently the job is quite stressful, imagine handling customers who don't really understand what you are trying to do even thou its explained in layman's terms? ah. well..
plus a possible pay rise after my probation...lol..provided i perform la...haha

well thats it for now.

ciao
