this is a post on my work or rather attachment.. jus got to know the magnitude of my workload today. as in really realised it and the impact struck me hard.. wasnt expecting this much of work since i had been editing almost the same thing everyday for the past 8 wks and my in-charge din realli told me wat else is there to be done... i mean, ya he did mention in passing by.. but who knows how much is there to be done??
really felt the stress today and yest.. partly coz i had to help another department to search for some routers and its quite urgent (9800 without repeats, 13000+ with repeats to search thru). can see that tat person (QA) realli needs help and i felt quite pity for him.. however my in-charge tot tat i had to help for only 2 half days.. but as i was still continuing today and spotted by another colleague of my department, who "complained" my job scope to my in-charge saying tat i need not help the other department and asked if i had informed my boss abt it, my in-charge then realli informed me my job scope and said there's a lot to do and cant afford a lot of time to help the other department.. he said he w tell the other person tat my duties had to be relieved frm finding the routers and also told me to inform the person. SO, i told the person tat i got a lot to complete and cant realli help him. he told me that the routers are gg to be searched finished and only have to help for the day (2 pm plus plus tat time). and he also told me not to be the middleman and asked my in-charge to tok to him. (tats very nice of him) ltr my in-charge came and informed him and the other person explained to my in-charge abt the amt left and me being the middleman. i was super awkward tat time! my in-charge asked if there's a lot left and i said no. so he then say to help finish up tat part. (he was considering the fact tat i am able to finish my stuffs on time too, which is sweet of him) my in-charge also explained saying he wasnt usually at his desk and if i see him i could inform him instead. felt stuck in the middle and i hate this feeling.. i know both parties want the best for me and i felt apologetic to both of them... haix...
another thing was that i cant realli stand two pp in the co.! oh no! i am involved in office politics which i want to avoid!!! =x the first person i don realli lk is the QA head. at first i am alrite with him until the other intern, whom i work with previously for a short while, told me he don lk tat guy coz whenever he sees the QA head, there's always trouble. BUT tat doesnt make me dislike him.. i notice tat he always walks ard (ok... communicating with his department, but too often rite?) and he seems to be always pushing pp for datelines and walking ard and chatting with them abt the problems faced. however, he doesnt seem to be doing any work on his part but always asking others to do instead... the higher rank you are, doesnt give you the right to slack k... or mayb he isnt. but frm the way i see him, he seems to be slacking and always chatting with pp abt problems but not doing things on his part...
the second person is frm my department, and the one who "complained" to my in-charge. perhaps being partially influenced by the previous intern, i began to observe more bad points abt tat person.. i know tats bad but i cant help it. he seems to be creating a lot of troubles for others by not doing his work well.. the QA person ask him to do it in a way and he replied saying "is not i don wanna do but i am very busy. u must understand me tat i got a lot of things to do. why not you tell me wat u wan and i apply to the rest" or "i apply this to the rest ma, u cant expect me to create one for each rite" the convo is sth lk tat la.. and he seems not to be completing his work on time, causing trouble for the other engineers too.. and now i fully agree with the previous intern abt him not taking pride in his work. i saw how he keep asking the previous intern to help him do this and do that, and keep rushing him for the dateline despite the intern not being under him and had a lot of things to do... felt pity for tat intern too. but luckily his work prd is short.. tat person also tries to engage my help but luckily i told him tat i had quite a lot of stuffs to do for my in-charge.. so far i had only help him print the work instructions and tat's simple task. thers's once he asked me how long did i take to do and i told him abt 1 to 2 hrs (the system takes a super long time to load as there are plenty of instructions). and do u know wat he told me?? he said if my boss asked me how long i take to print, i cnt reply my ans to him but instead had to say 3 hrs (he suggested half a day initially lo!).. goodness! but i agreed coz i don wanna make things diff for him.. not to mention possible backstabbing of him.. another thing quite pissed with him is tat he actualli look into my own file without my permission lei!!! and he jus look at my signed contract which states the attachment pay per mth.. super duper rude can?!?!?!?! tats the second time he looked at my stuffs without my permission la.. the first time was he looked at the form which i am supposed to give to my supervisor. written in the form was what subjects i took and supposedly my results. luckily i din write my results sia, or else tat rude person w have seen them... pissed off with him sia
gosh.. though work has pay, wkns and weekdays don have to study, i cant wait to go back sch.. i felt tat work is quite mundane and i am not realli learning anything very useful yet... as a result, my life seem to be passing a day by another aimlessly.. time passes seriously slow man.. not to mention miserable, as my another intern friend said.. hope can faster finish editing and creating work instructions peacefully or else i may not get the chance to go down to the shopfloor which i had been looking forward to since the start of my attachment...
