I hate it at work!! I hope this is only temporary.
I’ve just started my internship at Exxon (2 days so far) and I’m already so sian about it. I spend the first 1 and a half days reading some manual from their webby and the other half reading lab manuals.
The reading is fine until this gal (shall give her the initials “ML”) told me I should memorise details such as the temperature and time at which the experiment should be conducted. So many ok!!
Noe what I had to wear? Lab coat, lab pants and boots! I also cannot wear contact lens and for next year, we gotta start tucking in our shirts/coats.
(This U.G.L.Y pic of me reflects that I’m crying inside. I’m so lonely there!!)
Actually I’m still alright with the attire coz it makes me feel cool somehow even though it looks like what civil defense ppl wear to save ppl from fires (o ya, my whole attire is fire resistant too). BUT I have to tie my hair and pin back my fringe.
Can u imagine? Me à ma jiam botak. Anyway I complied, I did what I was suppose to do, tie and pin (so very toot). And noe what? That ML told me to pin more of my “loose fringe” which are those short baby fringes. How to pin?!
Hai~ shall talk about the ppl.
My department only has 3 ppl (excluding me); my supervisor, ML, and a guy.
ML, as mentioned earlier.. well I think she has smth against me. The guy.. I think he is kind of shy and weird, anyway I have a feeling that he likes to be alone or smth. As for my supervisor.. I think I pissed her off or what.
On the first day she took me to the cafeteria at 11am to pack food but at that time I didn’t bring my wallet so I told her I didn’t want to buy any yet, so she ask me to go back first. It was like her kind gesture was turned down by me, I’m damn stupid.
I ended up having lunch with the weird guy; that was how I got the feeling that he is weird and also likes to be alone. ML was no where to be found in case u were wondering.
On the second day, I took the company transport to work. It was really terrible at first coz I didn’t know what bus it was as all the company buses look the same, and I didn’t know any1. The worst part is not knowing where the exact pick up point was. I spend like 10mins running to and fro from where I think the pick up points might be.
At last I saw a bus with a tiny sign at the side saying “EMET Pioneer” so I just hoped on. Luckily someone on the bus who recognizes me smiled at me and I knew I was on the right bus. Otherwise, I might have gone to the bus uncle to ask if it was going to Exxon, and make myself a laughing stock. Thank Goodness!!
Lunch on that day was kind of sian too. I went to join some of the poly students from another department sharing the same lab as us to get food. I didn’t inform my supervisor or anything, and guess what? I met her at the cafeteria.
It was kind of like I didn’t ask for permission and went off but she did tell me lunch time was anytime. But anyway I felt bad coz I should at least have the courtesy to inform her. I’m so stupid!
When she saw me, she was like “I tot u didn’t want to pack food? Why, had a bad experience yesterday?” Me, being a little deaf ask her what her 2nd sentence was, 3 freaking times.
The poly students started their attachment way earlier then me, so they already knew each other pretty well. Also, I can tell they were on good terms with the ppl working there, even my supervisor. I felt so lousy. So lousy.
Anyway I didn’t talk to any1 coz have no1 to talk to. They probably think I’m weird, shy and likes to be alone, the same as how I tot of that guy. sobs!
God.. help me..
