Goodbye Bummer, Hello Secretary
I believe the title is a big hint of this entry. Yes! I'm back to work after 7 months of not working. So to those who think I've got nothing else to do but to send emails, shame on you and if you're reading this, double shame on you!!
Anyway, I'm really lucky to have gotten this job. Out of so many companies I sent my resume to, none called. A friend called on a Tuesday to tell me that he has arranged an interview for me at 430pm the next day. I went without even knowing the full name of the company and nailed it - right there and then. Talk about being lucky! Well, being an ex-DPian played a big part too!
Same industry, same line, some familiar faces just a different area and a little difference in the job scope. By little, I mean really little. What's great is that they do not practice any probation period but of course there are certain of its policies which I wish can be changed but it's all minor.
I find it funny when suppliers/despatch guys give me the 'hey I've seen you somewhere' kindda look. Before they even ask, I'd say 'DP' and smile. It's nice to know that some still remember my name.
I'm in my 3rd week now and the only complaint I have (thus far) would be the boss being too laid back. My first few days, I almost died of boredom but that's also the plus point. It's nothing like DP where everyone would be rushing for this dateline, that dateline, this trip, that trip etc etc.
Another great point is that it's near to Fid'z and Radia's work place so I get to meet Fidz for lunch and see Radia whenever I want. If only Elis' company did not shift elsewhere.
I have one problem though, I think I've put on weight even though the digits are still the same, I feel heavy. See, when I was a bummer, I ate once a day or twice the most but ever since I started work, I've been having 3 complete meals a day. I don't snack but those 3 meals have given me the bulge. Big bulge at the tummy and sometimes when I sit I can feel its lower part touching my left thigh! Arrrgh!
Now, both my butt and my tummy are protruding and that's definitely not sexy!
P.S Happy Birthday TB. I'll be celebrating it with you for 2 consecutive days (tomorrow and the day after) with different clicks! I love birthdays!
Things happen for a reason
