So I’ve started this temp job at ST doing procurement stuffs. It’s pretty no brainer actually, I picked up everything in 3 days, knew the process in 5. Just as Breadface said, any cats and dogs can come and do procurement. Quick summary of the characters so far.
Breadface (BF) as I’ve mentioned, have a face which looks like a freshly baked round bread. She’s lucky she don’t have goldfish eyes. Well, so far she did the least amount of work of the 6 and always want to shoot arrows to newbies such as me besides Wank. I’ll talked about Wank later. Back to BF, though she’s friendly but its best not to underestimate her, she can just throw you stuffs when you already have alot on the table. So to handle this kind of bread you have to keep your table loaded with work, and never ever let her see you with nothing to do. Besides work she likes to talk, thus explaining the least amount of work done and having to OT everyday. Ok let’s move on.
Wank is the Longest serving of the bunch, with 10 over years of experience, she leaves on the dot. But she has a terrible skin disease which now has infect her left eye. Who knows what thing has she done to deserve this. Since she is the old bird, she was in charge to teaching me all the stuffs, which was a disaster. Because being experienced in working doesnt mean she knows how to teach. She just throw everything she know on me, and telling me what to do when she remember certain situations she encountered herself. I’m lucky she was on leave the following day so I can have a different teacher to teach me. Other than that Wank is generally a good person, maybe of the disease, but I give her the benefit of the doubt. Oh and she likes to talk more about nitty gritty stuff rather than the important juice, for example while we were doing project A, she would go into all the small details and just say one sentence on the most important chunk. She is also another Elven archer, she shoots arrows at the last minute and is definitely painful, something like double damage.
Then is the Thick Eyebrows. She was the one who sort of took over and taught me most of the basic stuffs. She is also the major workload source. The good thing is I like working with her, rather than for her, which she would make one feel. But she is one stressed out freak who change shoes whenever she’s gona blow. There’s 3 pairs under her table, plus the one she wore to work thats 4 pairs. She is also one chatter, but gets her work done somehow. Another thing is maybe she stays near me, the proximity reason, which states the closer you stay to someone, the better the human relationship.
Ok there’s another guy who came in at the same time but is a perm staff. Harris bookstore has some experience and looks like a decent chap. I often escaped the arrows is due to him being needed to pick up faster than me because I’m a temp. So he gets all the shit, even the boss wants to drill him. Not much to say about him as he just quietly drink all the poison water up. But I guess after he’s done, it will be my turn.
Now to the guys, first I’ll talked about the Leader. He’s like the captain of the team, being the highest rank of course but I’ve seen people with lower ranks controlling the office. He’s one big man with the final say often. He have this aura that will intimidate enemies and rally allies. Haha I’m speaking like going to war but it’s true. He’s somewhat a workaholic, coming back on weekends, but then again with his daughter so old, all he can do is work. Well at least thats what he thinks of now.
Neutron is the 2nd longest serving after Wank, he’s the typical fast talker and is currently teaching another newcomer. He’s the suck balls type but only to higher ranking people. Funny guy when not serious, and always take breaks when there’s a chance. Didn’t talk to him much as he always eat with other people rather than the office peeps.
Now is Cui. The guy who I would say is my real mentor as he taught me the basics and really help me grasp the process. Used his own ways rather then the conventional methods, guess being a regular in the army last time help him and also help me. We support the same club in EPL, and have almost the same wavelength in conversation. Really a guy who you could depend on. Just found out today that his dad left him when he was still a kid. But thats another story.
So that’s about it, with 2 newcomer this week in the form of Alex and May, which I haven’t had much of a contact time with, shall spare them in this post. Ok my sis finished cooking noodles, going to eat and enjoy my last weekend before school reopens. TGIF people!
