32 calls!
first day of work and i answered 32 calls. actually that's considered low because the girl next to me answered 40 calls. it's not so much that i was unproductive whatsoever. the thing is, i realise that the calls come streaming in according to our station number. it happens that mine is the largest number of the four officers in my area. so the first call goes to station of the smallest number, and when all other stations are occupied, only then will the incoming call come to me.
ah well. but im not complaining. surprisingly, work isnt as bad as i anticipated it to be. then again, this is just day one of me being independent. maybe it's still too early to gauge. but whatever. im glad it's pretty ok. i had grumbled last week cos that the clique im with were asked to do interviews while i got stuck with what i thought then as a crappy phone operator. but really, maybe this is a blessing in disguise because the interviewers were bored to death and "swatting flies".
so far, no one scolded me on the phone. today i only had TWO calls in chinese (thank god). my chinese really sucks. even my malay colleagues can tell me that "i speak chinese as if ive just learnt it". i have to agree with them on that though. (: ah well, but hey, i realised you dont need to speak a language well to be understood. and even though my chinese sucks, both chinese callers thanked me in chinese "xie xie ni ah, huiru. bye bye". see, so cute right? but there was an uncle who said that to me and goosebumps came running right up my skin. haha.
im having a headache now. ive got yet another online timetable selection exercise and the stipulated time im alotted is 1-3pm. d-a-m-n i-t. i dont know if im allowed to do this at work... rahhs. and im so sick of online enrolments because the system is sure to frigging lag. it's so stupid to need to select the timetable when there's nothing for me to elect since there's only ONE timetable for the finance option that i am in. goodness.
right. enough of rattling. im tired after a hard day's work.,..........zzzzzzzz
