First Day at Work

Penat!!!

I woke up by accident at 4am this morning and couldn't get back to bed. I woke up feeling icky too. It was cold last night, so hubby had us use 3 duvets. I actually woke up sweating coz I was trapped under all that duvet! It was just such an uncomfortable feeling. Especially since when I got out from underneath the duvet, the cold was bighting!

Anyway, I took my shower and hubby went down to heat up my car. Then I drove to work. It only took me 45 minutes coz the traffic wasn't heavy. So I got there at 6:50am. Ok, an hour to kill before checking in with the security desk. So I listened to the radio. Bosan giler.... Plus my perut memulas ok. Luckily there was a private bathroom right next to the security desk. Anyhoo... I ended up having to wait for the other new hire coz he was late. He apparently went in through a different entrance so, my manager came to pick me up first and then we picked up the other new hire. We got our pictures taken for the work tag and then off we went for a tour of the office. Ok, it's huge!!!! There are basically four main building.. and they're all connected through a basement. So you can start walking and walking and before you know it, you're entering a different building without realizing it. Anyway, the manager really took us around. I mean, he showed us everything!! Macam over doing it pulak. In fact, we sat in his office going through all the company policies and core values and filling out forms. Then he took us to lunch which was nice and then one of the team leads took over and set our laptops up. Coolness siot... first day dapat laptop dah. Woot Woot

Anyway, the person who supposed to train us actually took an emergency leave and we ended up having nothing much to do while the team lead tried to figure out how to get us to fill up some of our time. She's pretty hyper and I would love to have her as my team lead. Unfortunately she's moving to a different department next week. Oh well. The other members of the team seem pretty nice. Pretty nice bunch lah.

I'm just tired now. The drive home was so long (about an hour) and then hubby wanted dinner. He had cooked rice so I just heated up some of the leftovers. But I think I'd better cook something tonight so that we have something to eat tomorrow. Then it's an early night to bed tonight. Ngantuk sangat....

All in all the first day was really slow. And my car is so dirty now. Boo hoo...... I just washed and polished it yesterday and now it's covered in dirt! So horrid. Oh well....

Oh yeah, I can't log on to blogger from work. Sucks... can't even log on to gmail. SUCKS! They really control which websites you can and cannot go to! So much for the new laptop. :P
