My Official Entrance into the "Real World"

Today was my first day at work. After being idle for like half a year, the notion of work left me with mixed feelings. It sure feels good that you are actually doing something, because that what we are supposed to do, work and earn money. At the same time, the thought of going through this 830-530 cycle monday-friday, makes me want to just sleep and do nothing.

As expected, first day at work, nothing much going on. I was given a cubicle, and a pc, but dont think they are mineor permanent. The makcik served me coffee hehe. They told me I will be spending most of my time at the project site, and the office is just like a "transit lounge". Not sure what I will do at the site or the logistics, but it sure beats working in a factory. My supervisor introduced me to everyone, and then gave me a stack of documents. I read them all. Besides that, I surf the net for a bit. That pretty much sums up my first day. A friend said that, during his first two weeks at work, he did nothing but read. So, I guess its just the way it is.

Just before lunchtime, I went to see my supervisor, and asked for unpaid leave to attend other interviews...... I hid nothing and told the truth. He looked expressionless upon hearing my request, but I could see in his eyes, twinkle of hatred. I was facing an angry and pissed off man. He had every right to be pissed off, if I was in his position, I would be furious. But I got 2 days off anyway hehe. Man.... I truly feel bad.
