Well i have been certainly feeling much more downcast lately cus i'm feeling stressed and drained out from working! ever since i told my boss that i have nothing to do (being an admin assistant), she has been asking me to chase the my company's local customers for debts. hmmm... i dunno how many companies that is in total, but this spreadsheet is very very long. well i am thankful that my male colleague still help me to clear those chasing of local companies' debts, but there's still immensely a lot of work to be done!! and it drives me nuts when she wants me to chase a large number of companies within half of teh day! this task of chaing debts is known as a Credit Controller Assistant. well... so i am now like an Admin Asst. cum Credit Controller Asst..? which explains why i am so freaking busy, with so many tasks to do on my agenda.
however, i am happy to say that this stressful period for me is worthwhile since it is in my view that my resume will look much nicer to be known as a Credit Controller Asst as compared to an Admin Asst.? cus an Credit C asst certainly has much more responsibilities on hand. in short, u're doing more impt things. I was always very envious of my colleague when i saw him collaborate with customers. but i am also doing it now! so there's no longer anything for me to be envious of now. =D hee..
and frankly, i can promise you this- it is more thrilling being a credit controller asst than an admin asst. Cus as a credit-controller asst, you've got to communicate with ppl! via emailing, calling & faxing. I need to use my BRAINS when i think of how i am to type in a cordial n polite manner in my emails and calls. and brains & initiatives are greatly essential in this job; in comparison to an Admin asst. (: well i feel happier now after saying the advantages of my current stressful job. haha..
cus frankly, i felt extremly stressed out when my manager gave me 17 companies to contact at 1.30PM, and she wants them done within 4 hours which was quite a feat for me. cus for some individual companies, i need to contact numerous ppl just for one company as various invoices are involved. so... one company can be equal to almost 4 calls. so... 17 companies is like... ahem. you get what i mean. so because of all these tasks, i felt ill yesterday!
so i'm still feeling kind of sick today. except that my sickness today has transformed into a feeling of heaviness in the heart; instead of teh stressful feeling that i had sensed teh day before. so i've been very moody. so moody that i can't be botehred with some ppl. i don't get why he can't see it. why would anyone wanna waste their breath talking to someone who has the least comments & replies to my words & qs? gosh. you certainly have hit a nerve in me. haha..
anyway because of this guy, i've been feeling very ugly for the past few wks. however, as i've said earlier, i'm much more absorbed into my work that i can't be bothered with him! so.. you know i looked into the mirror yesterday and felt that i looked nice (ahem i wasn't wearing makeup). and you know what i told myself? Well if he doesn't think that i am pretty enough for him, well TOOO BAD. i think i am looking my PRETTIEST today. BLEAH. i really said it out to myself in my office toilet (no one is around of cus). and i felt great!! ahhahaha! so if u ever feel down, remb: so long you look your BESt so far, you've won the competition. there is no need to care abt otehrs. bleah!!! (:
----------------------
enough of complains. anyway i've just wrote finish my timesheet for this month. well i will be earning almost $200 more than last mth as tehre's no holidays this mth.. but it is still very little! :/ but i don't feel unhappy. cus i know deep in my heart, this month is the FIRST time i am earning my money through PURE hard work & not slacking. when i was an admin asst, they gave me so little little work that i had nothing to do, and i ended up spending my working hours in boredom by slacking. it was so boring that i dozed off almost once a day! =X i am immensely guilty for that, but it was seriously boring. so i felt like i'm earning free money. But right now, this money seems more like a reality to me. haha.. in short, i am proud of myself. =D
ok back to what i actually wanna say. well i've extended my contract by 2 wks ( i told that dude & he's like can't be bothered; hmph). my official last day was actually yesterday- 24th feb. but now my last day will instead be on the 13th march- fri. actually i don't really mind staying longer (they wanted to extend my contract for anthr 3 mths) since i have found a great colleague who is now my good friend, & i really liek the environment & ppl. But with such a low salary, i think i really got to move on & i really wish to change my job scope. i am really thankful for the credit controller job but i'm now considering of mooving into the HR or Customer Svc sector.
the few concerns that i have for changing job is the folliwng:
1. i want to work in an MNC like my current company- Radio Holland Singapore
2. the colleagues & working environment may not be as great
3. i will miss Audrey who is now my good friend
4. teh distance!!! i have a company bus from Jurong East daily, which will take me to Tuas. so i only spend 93 cents a day to get to work. i don't want to splurge my salary on tpt. haha..
5. i WANT to wear my own attire. I DON'T WANT to wear company uniform!!!
well i'll not be too surprised if my new job (if i manage to find one; HOHO) do not satisfy all my whimpsy criteria.. i am too petty; haha... but i just have to move on. I will be working a total of 3 months and 2 weeks in this company, & i need to be more adventurous don't I? (SHUCKS. an idiot guy just said HI to me on msn. i don't understand why why why i don't block him; i deleted him but i frgt to block him! idiot me). ok back to topic. hmm... yup so i gotta change job scope!! =>
OK. i got to divert my energy and typing to my resume le. i have not created my resume yet. i want to give my BEST shot & nothing less. i think first impression is crucial!
anyway.. pss. i think i may be more stress soon. cus i need to make a present for my dad & Audrey by next friday!! next fri is my last day of work. and i'll be celebrating my dad's b'day next wkend. the present that i have in mind is computer-based. i certainly need to refine my technique of editing certain stuff. (:
anyway, i'll be collaborating with Nicholas Yap from my sec. sch. i hope he can help me create a nice website. haha..
