My grand opening at new place

It been a tiring week. Monday was my 1st day reporting for work at my new company. I had a 2 hrs orientation (induction they called it) with the personnel from HR, giving me an overview of my company's vision, core values, company history, achievements, etc and then she started to sing me the company's song. LOL! After that, she lead me to the 6th floor to look at the old antique machineries, and told me to remember the 4 top heads of the company in case I ever see them, I have to greet them. Oke, I try my best to remember and visual and recognise if I can.

Then after was loh-bohing at my new desk, do some cleaning up and I realised my current desk is so much smaller than my previous workstation. But since this new company depends mostly on electronic documentations and mails, that really helps to save alot of space on my desk and thus the issue of big desk or small desk is no longer an issue. Then was lunch with my pri sch schoolmate, dehan, who is now my colleague and lunch partner. After lunch was another induction by the business excellence manager, and that ends my 1st day, taking a ride from dehan, I manage to reach home early.

Tues was round of induction by different managers again, bring me to see the data management, the structure, plating, prepress etc, then was on the job training, trying out the system and figuring out how to use it, colleagues feeding me the procedures and I was so damn serious over all the steps. And thank god, I got Desmond to send me home.

Today, again, induction, by the warehouse manager, giving me an overview of the turnkey, kitting, warehouse operation, what are the common terms they use at work, and with abit of my experience with my past vendors, I thank god I was able to understand what they are saying (sometimes) and was able to pick up things fairly well. Then was to the post press to understand the machines the plant is engaging with, the SOP, the different sections...and I will say, this new company that I am joining, is certainly a place where ppl are willing to impart knowledge and lend a helping hand. Then back on my desk, loh-bohing again till the end of the day. I tried out the route I planned for myself and guess what? I manage to reach home smoothly by 7:15pm!

Tommorrow is thusday. I left one more induction to complete and should be starting working on the operations soon.

I can no longer wear shabbily to work, wear jeans any day I like, or my birken sandals to work. The new environment requires me to wear cover up shoes, strictly no jeans unless friday, wear my dog tag every day and no radio! I have been obedient, so far, for the 1st three days, and planning what to wear on thusday, but I am looking forward to friday wear I can wear my fav, JEANS! Yahoo!!! Although msn is officially usable in office, but I am afraid to log on to my msn.

With 114 contacts, 30 over online daily, 9 or more dialogue windows flashing in my past record, I guess I should not dig myself a hole to jump in man. Maybe I will just create a new msn for purely work purpose.

I really dun now how long can I last being obedient. LOL!!! Oh god! Please trust tat I can! I can be a good person, not setting the fashion trend in the office, leading the girls to wear jeans in a fasionable way even on monday and not get caught! LOL!!!! I have that strong urge to be defiant to challenge the policies again!

The best part is, my direct reporting manager, is the sister of the company's boss, and, my work station, is just next to the daughters of the owner of the company. I really dun know whether to laugh or cry. But everyone is very supportive and friendly so far. They make me feel that asking questions are not sins, they encourage me by telling me they understand I am new with no background, in return, I learn to be as independent as I can so that they can concentrate on their daily hectic work instead of taking care of me. I try to pick up things fast asap so that I can start working asap. And I want to be recognise at work. I wanna soar! I think I hope I can! :)
