I'm having a bad week. It's only Tuesday and I already know it's out to be a bad week. My pessimism at work, once again.
Over the weekend, I slammed my own THUMB with the car door, thankfully it didn't swell, but it's still aching like hell.
I got scolded at work for doing my work. Twice.
On Friday (the prelude to the dark week), Gummy Bear and Rara had a slight argument over something I did, and Gummy Bear insinuated that I had screwed up and made a mistake. After more arguing, they finally came to the conclusion that what I did, was CORRECT.
Yesterday, S gave me an email attachment to print, which came up to 170 pages, I have no idea what was it, but it was a HUGE file and I was told specifically to print the attachment. So off I went, printing 170 pages, and it didn't help that one of the printers in the office had broken down and there was now a queue for the printer in my area. Anyway, as my print job is processing, 80% done, Gummy Bear, whose document is waiting to be printed, comes out looks at the stack of uncollected documents and proceeds to reprimand me for it. Gummy Bear said "if you know the email is going to be useless, then don't print it!".
Needless to say, I felt indignated and offended. I may be just a temp staff, but that in no way means that I have to be subjected to their verbal abuse. I'm doing their work, being paid a miniscule amount of money for it, and I try my best not to complain about it. And now I'm getting scolded for doing something I've been told to do?
The 2nd time I got scolded happened today. And it was Gummy Bear again. Damn Gummy Bear. I'm going to hate Gummy Bears for the rest of my life. And I got scolded over the online system, because I wasn't "properly trained" over the terminology. Has it ever occurred to anyone that I'm not an accountant in training?
I am now handling/helping out with FIVE major clients. Someone take the files (of all 5 clients) and smack me to death, please!!! The clients must think I'm the new accountant. They keep forwarding all the emails they send to Rara to me as well. And I'm NOT SUPPOSED to be interacting with them!!! Ok, it didn't help that I spoke to the client on the phone, TWICE. Under orders of Rara, of course. So every now and then, I open Outlook Express and see messages from D*****. Ahhhhhh....
5 MNCs, I'm about to jump out of the window and plummet 30 storeys to the ground, forming a murky, grotesque puddle of blood. Why, oh why? Why me? 5 MNCs. 5 freaking MNCs!!! And I'm not even drawing the pay of a regular accountant!
It didn't help that I developed a headache in the late morning today. So I sulked, sighed and frowned my way through the entire day. I am in such a bad mood I can't even bring myself to go for a secondary school class gathering tomorrow. Yes, I am officially 100% cranky.
And goodness, I can't stand bad handwriting. I admit, mine isn't fantastic, but I like it to be legible. I spent 15mins deciphering the handwriting of The Big Boss (TBB). TBB's handwriting is so bad I couldn't make out the word "SINGAPORE".
The printer in my area then went wonky in the late afternoon. I'm working with a wonky printer. I have a LOT of filing to be done for the 3 companies that used to be under Oven.I have to re-update the online projects because of the mix-up in terminologies. All 15 pages of it.
The newest MNC is driving me up the wall because the information is all over the place and the projects are considered URGENT.
I find myself in a fix when one employee of the client finds himself missing a Notice of Assessment (NOA) for LAST YEAR. And the headache goes on, the details I shall keep to myself lest it be too specific. It's not as if you can't tell who I'm working for but argh, it's making me fed up thinking of it.
The laptop LAGS. Never ever use IBM laptops. Ok, maybe not ever, at least not the ones I'm using at work. I think the laptops must be considered the great, great, great grandfathers of modern laptops. They take 5minutes to boot and fully load, and it's not even running 20% of the programs my computer runs. The screen goes blank when you run a new program. The "keyboard" is highly user-unfriendly.
On a brighter note, I like the Nikon Coolpix S5 and S6 a lot. Of course, the cash is pretty good too. People like me are resigned to forever admiring things they like and never buying them. Whoever said life was fair? Lol. Of course, I could dig out and find out ways in which these products suck and then console myself by saying "thank god I didn't get it!". Lol. Sour grapes, anyone? =P
I'm a 3rd year student in what is probably the largest autonomous university in Singapore majoring in a Science-related subject (well it sorta IS SCIENCE). I'm known to be introverted, sarcastic (at times), funny when I rant (which isn't a good thing lol) and somewhat of a loner. I miss LA and would move there in a heartbeat :(
