New chapter

Yesterday was my first day at Level 55. Fresh out of bootcamp, brain all washed and shiny :P The day went by so fast, with meetings filling up half of it and the rest just with getting the computer and network stuff up and working and getting to know my new colleagues and the office. All in all, it was a good first day. Met with the GM boss-lady and was kinda taken aback with her remarks about working with females. She mentioned that female staff always tend to give her problems and thus do not last long in her dept. Like, wtf? Anyway, i'm just gonna take that in stride and just go with the flow.

My workscope is nothing different that what i've done before, just that this time it's only confined to the O&G business. Something i would need to master as quickly as possible. My boss and SM are cool fellas. The type yg pijak semut pun tak mati. But they are also sharp and very2 intelligent. So I really2 have to learn the business inside out fast to keep up with them.

Thought of going in today to just familiarize myself with the work but was discouraged by the boss-lady as it "gives an impression that you are not managing your time well". i mean, seriously?? when half the time i will be traveling, u can't expect me to be up to date with the paperwork due unless i come in on some saturdays. haiyah..maybe that's why they give me a laptop instead of a desktop. so i can work from anywhere. but ive always thought that the best time to get work done is on a weekend, when the office is quiet and the phones ain't ringing.

Anyway it is saturday today and i will heed her advice and spend quality time owed to my munchkins for going away for 2 weeks. The boss is always right, right?!
