the first week

i have been meaning to blog but simply just haven't had the time! the weekend went by FAAAAR too quickly and probably because i had to come in to work on saturday :( friday night was nice though, went out with the people from work for a drink at oosh and it was nice to just kick back after the week of work.

the first week has left me a little stressed out and feeling largely inadequate. it feels like everyone else is alot more on the ball than i am while i'm just flailing around, trying to keep up.

work aside, things are alright i guess. i feel bad for the boy, who had to deal with my ridiculous emotional break down. i think it was partly feulled by PMS but i had this crazy crying fit on saturday night following a 2 hour walk back to my house from his out of sheer stubborn-ness. he walked with me but didn't say a word and it scared the hell out of me that he wasn't talking. i felt so pathetic and worse still when i broke into tears. this wasn't me, i'm not a crier generally. and yet there i was, bawling my eyes out as if someone had died. he was lovely about it though, making me feel even more embarrassed that my weaknesses had to appear before him.

anyways, for now, i'm still at the office... looks like its gonna be a long day!

And so it begins...

Hee, I've never had phone sex before last night. It was strangely enjoyable, to say the least. Am seeing the Boy after work today and I can't wait ;)

Work's poured in today and there is much to get done. I feel as if I know nothing whatsoever and like some hopeless idiot. Ack! And to think its only my third day... am starting to wonder just what I've gotten myself into...

Last Day of Being a Kid

So tomorrow, I officially start work at my first grown up job. Its a weird feeling having reached this point. I worked hard to get to here but now that I am here, I wish I had a little more time to myself before I get thrown into the big bad world.

I know I'm probably making a bigger deal out of this than I should. If anything, I should consider myself lucky. I set my mind on being a lawyer and got into law school and managed to make it out the other side with a pretty respectible grade. Then I managed to get a job with the firm of my dreams when so many of my peers struggled to get a job in their fields. But here we are. Its the night before my first day.

I'm looking forward to it though, despite the nerves. Firstly, I've interned there before and so I guess I know what to expect. I've got a nice boss. Secondly, a couple of people from my class are there too so at least I'll know people there.

Anyways, I guess we'll see how it works out tomorrow. Wish me luck!

First Day of Work!!

Today was my first day of work and I had a really really great day :)

For starters, as I was getting dressed in the morning, the Boy texted to wish me a great first day at work. I was so touched by the gesture, especially as he'd woken up early just to text and it certainly put a huge smile on my face for the rest of the day :D

My friend V had also been a star, calling me up the day before to fill me in on what I'd missed on Friday and met me at the train station so we could go in together. Once there, I was a bit blur at first, suddenly there was an information overload and I had much to catch up on. We were assigned our desks and mine's in the corner on the 17th floor. A bit of a bummer as my boss and the rest of my team are on the 19th but oh well. People have been applying to move around but frankly, I'm not planning to go anywhere. The dude I sit next to, A, is hilarious! We got along instantly and were talking non-stop, only to realise we'd missed our next meeting, lol. People thought we'd knwon each other for ages by how friendly we sounded but he's a geniunely nice person. The rest of the newbies have been a really nice bunch too. Everyone's really friendly, unlike the rumours I'd heard about people being fairly snooty in this firm.

Workwise, there wasn't anything to do on the first day. My boss was the same guy I'd interned for two years ago and it was nice that he and his secretary still remembered who I was so I was welcomed back. I was initially told that I had been assigned to someone else so it was a nice surprise. Anyways, the day was spent doing orientation activities like researching and then there was a court visit.

Afterwards, a bunch of us went out for coffee and it was nice to just get to know a few of the other people :)

All in all, it was a lovely start and I couldn't have asked for more. I had been nervous about not making any friends, especially after the disaster that was my Dip Sing year but thankfully it was all alright! Hopefully this will continue :D
