As saying goes, nothing is happier to sleep in on Saturdays.

Yes, I survived the first week of work and, finally sleep in! It was not that bad the waking up part, just more of when I was not given assignments to do and there’s no internet on my computer..those periods, I can barely keep my eyes open. I drink lots and lots of water and goes to the toilet way too often to keep myself awake.

But fear not, the lack of assignments wouldn’t be happening too much anymore because…I am officially hired!

Yes, the boss confirmed me yesterday. Actually the creative/art director spoke to me after lunch. He wrote down the figures (pay) on paper and asked if I am OK with it. I was shocked (and not in the good way), it was a very, very, very low pay..nothing like what the boss and I talked about earlier. If…if, I interpreted it correctly, it might go up after the probation period which God knows when..3 months or 6 months or NEVER. Notice the bold ‘if’. But I took the offer, at least I have a job, and it’s a first job so..well, I will just take it. My sister and mother was saying to just take it..at least I can find a job. And my mother told me over the phone about how people in Italy or Germany are queuing up to look for jobs..and of cos did all the motherly talk and lecturing.

So, that’s it..a first full-time real job. I am not really looking forward to it as much as I hope. There are days during the past week I dread sitting in front of the computer so much and can’t wait for 6.30pm. I do a little countdown every 5 minutes. It’s nothing like Starbucks, no where close to as fun…or if fun is ever a word to be used for a career/job. I already got my first assignment yesterday.

My sister always tells me how she wish to just quit her job and join Starbucks again. I always sympethise with her but I think I am finally getting it.

I am full of complains right? It’s only the first week!

When I was about to graduate from polytechnic, all the fears of a working life..now I am living it. No escape.

I am going to go out later, enjoy my well-deserved weekend. It’s the last weekend of this sort, if you get what I mean.

And oh, I watched ‘Eagle Eye’ yesterday! It’s a good movie, keep you very entertained every moment of it. Seem a little unreal that degree of cyber-terrorism but come to think of it, in no time, it can become real. And Shia LaBeouf is sooooo cute and charming!
