Dirt on the hands: First day of work

Dirt on the hands

Every single thing that we do are like dirt on our hands. It may not show, but it's there. At the end of the day, when the hands are washed and dried up, was getting our hands dirty worth the while? or were they just stains that needed to be washed out as soon as possible and be forgotten?

First day of work

So, yesterday was my first day of work as a field service eng. Not the kind of work I was looking for but it's a start at least. It's like what my friend said, when you start working, prepare to at change jobs at least 3 times before you settle :P

I'm setingganing with a few of my buds at SS1 atm, which is a bloody long trip to commute to Tropicana everyday. Anyways, I went out at 7.30am, thinking that I'd have more than enough time to get there in one and a half hours... turns out I arrived 15 mins late at 9.15am. It takes less time to get back to Malacca on a normal day.

Around 10.30ish, my supervisor gave me a parking pass to the season pass area and told me to move my car since the parking lot below the building is crazy expensive at 2 bucks an hour. So as I was roving around the parking area for space I noticed on the right side there was a large ditch with no railing or anything similar to mark it and thinking that's just bloody damn dangerous when suddenly I got a sudden jolt.... turns out that the ditch goes all the way to the left side with a small path in the middle and my left tire had fallen into it. So off I go looking for some pak guards to help with lifting my car out of the ditch.

The rest of the day was pretty uneventful. Spent the whole day playing YM and bugging ppl or browsing forums and stuff. I had nothing to do, literally nothing at all. I even managed to doze off at my desk for an hour or something. A big pounding headache that I developed sometime in the afternoon didnt help much also. If I had a portable hardisk I could download crap all day long on this insanely fast connection... that's a good idea.

Got outta work at 6, drove back for 45 mins, break fast then went to sleep without eating since my head was killing me, ate my meal at 10.30 and went back to sleep. GG, off to a good start it seems.

Face the task as a challenge in your life. Every sen you earn is honest money. As I told you beore; have integrity and be honest. Always communicate and don't be shy to admit our weaknesses.

Good Luck to you, my boy.
