nobody comes here anymore?

hey, hardly any activities going on here lately.. u all too busy to visit and post?

thanks jess! for trying to "de-stagnantize the blog" :p

wah jess, u sound very pathetic leh, ur shoes and clothes falling apart.. think it's time u go shopping for clothes and shoes le, we still have 2 more months to endure leh.. u cannot go to work everyday like that right? :p

hmm.. things are starting to be quite busy for me recently. very soon i'll be working till late hours of the night. As WGS is drawing near, we as IT department has to provide extended technical support to the rest of the departments. so everyone of us take turns to stay back till 9pm everyday. except for the boss lah. he is the second level of support, anything very bad we cannot handle on our own, just call him back :p

i'm really terrified of this technical support thing. so far i haven't had my turn yet. but we had a training few days before and i din noe what he was talking about half of the time! (sy: yah i noe, ASK rite? but u are not here in my situation leh, u dun understand..) all the interns are so computer savvy.. the TP intern told me dun ever let my boss find out that i noe nothing abt computer, coz she was "shoot" by him when he knew she noe nothing abt computer despite being an IT student. but i'm NOT! (anyway, to his great disbelief, my boss has found out that i'm a media and communication student) What is a media and comm student doing in an IT department??

i think the whole company sees our department as The Great Problem-Solver. printer cannot print, toner needs to be changed, accidentally deleted files, cannot receive emails, paper jam, cannot read CD-R.. etc etc. All problems big and small. u name it, we solve it.

during meeting yesterday (we have weekly meetings to update the boss what we have completed and what we are currently doing) my boss asked if we want to stay and help out for WGS. val's boss has already asked her and she has declined. but my boss is keeping options open and we can tell him our decision anytime. and u noe what, i actually am considering. haha dun ask me why.

besides editing video, i'm assigned to another job: updating of E-Newsletter. i'm balancing time with premiere and dreamweaver, plus other stuff like sorting out contracts etc. that's enough to keep me busy for the next 2 weeks.

actually my boss is quite nice. yes, nice. can say that he's quite kind too. "it takes time to really know a person". i feel that this is very true..

i feel that he's just putting up a nasty front so that things will get done much faster. maybe he was too nice a supervisor in the past that ppl took advantage. i dunno.

basically, he's quite friendly. just that when it comes to work, he has high expectations. To him, interns have to perform as well as the staff. he doesn't believe in asap, he wants a date to everything. he has his way of making things work. Somehow i feel that he is showing his concern through this kind of harshness towards us. he sees us as a team and he is responsible for each and everyone of us. he said that when the event is drawing near, everyone in the company will be so stressed out that they lose their temper and get irritated easily. if anyone takes advantage of us or abuses us, don't retaliate at that point of time. just tell him and he'll settle the scores after the whole thing. anything just let him noe and he'll do the "fighting" for us. felt quite touched by what he said. maybe that's why i'm considering to extend my stay with the company. but i'm still not decided yet. half of me wants to get out of the company asap while the half is telling me to stay for the experience. hmm.. let's just see how things go along..

So, how's everyone getting on? somehow LQ and YH have disappeared, are they lost in the river of L.O.V.E? haha looks like only those who are stuck on the banks of singleness have the time to post here. and it seems that most of the time i'm the one who always tell old grandmother's tales :p

Hmm.. care to meet up? or we shall just see each other on 9 March? maybe we can arrange something when we meet on msn one of these days?

sy, thanks for the message! was very touched :) but i wasn't staying back for technical support that day, my duty is next mon :p
