New experiences at work

Hey guys! Time sure flies uh? Another week just evaporated haha! So that means I have been working for two weeks now as of yesterday. One more week gone by, lots more to write about.
Over the past week, I picked up a couple of "office skills". On Tuesday, I learnt to print addresses onto envelopes. By Friday, I was already getting really used to doing that such that I was churning out stacks and stacks of printed envelopes every day. The next thing I learnt was to seal these envelopes in record time! The method I was taught to seal these envelopes more than tripled the number of envelopes I sealed as compared to before. It came as quite a surprise really. My aunt just saw me sealing the envelopes one by one really slowly on Friday and thus gave me some tips. I didn't know there was a skill to be learnt in something as simple as sealing of envelopes lol! So, with the new skills picked up, I was then able to carry out my tasks with more efficiency and ease.
After two weeks at work, I have pretty much gotten used to working life. The early morning squeeze on the bus, the never ending work waiting to be completed, crowded food centres and then back to squeeze in buses for the evening rush hour home. Haha, of course, I have also had to adapt the way I work to meet deadlines too. Well, and I have also come to realise that no matter how hard or how fast I work, there will always be work brought over to the next day to be completed. There is just ever so much work to be done haha!
Being one who isn't picky with what I eat, I am not too choosy about where I have my meals if I eat alone. As such, I have been frequenting the Bendemeer food centre for my lunch. Being able to enjoy my favourite food at low prices is sufficient for me. In fact, I have yet to patronise each and every of the stalls available there... haha!
Despite having gotten used to my work schedule. I have been getting to work kinda late ( ie. at 0900 or even after 0900 on some days). I really got to get out of bed earlier and clock in earlier for work just like last week. This past week was a short work week for me though, as I missed work on Wednesday due to having to attend to some private matters.
Looking forwards to another week at work. Hope my pay starts coming in soon though...
