Crazy schedules and crazy workloads, shagged.

Today is crazy. Endless new biz documents are coming in and i have to make sure they feed Vivien on time such that the scanner won't feel hungry. It was quite fun to have 2 "new" colleagues now who were actually transfered from Dhoby Ghaut to help us since that side do not require people to be there anymore.

What is so shiong about sorting the documents for Viven or Zw to scan you ask? Well, need to imagine a bit. The cases come at 8.30am, 11.30am, 2.30pm, 4pm and 5pm. Seems ok? While each case consists of average 30 documents each with 20-50 pages or more. Moreover, zw let me rot and do it alone from 4pm-5pm for about 50 documents. He is such an asshole sia right? YES agree with me!

His reason, " If i help you do these documents, it means that you can finish faster and i will have more backlog documents to scan!" So i was like (-_-!) and t(-_-)z .
But dun misunderstand la, i not angry this is just part and parcel of job life know? SIBEI SIAN AR, so must do some interesting stuff.

At 7pm or so, we recieved another pile of 50 or so documents, courtesy of Yvonne. Ok, i admit we complained for a while about the crazy workload. However, when we start doing and she came over and gave us some MINT chocolate, then all discontent was dispelled and we chionged through the documents. Although we still did not complete it, i can gladly say we did the best we could till 9pm. Tomorrow i shall continue the stack and rush through whatever that comes next.

Since the number of people coming to work is constantly decreasing and ceterius paribus, the production will fall and each of us get heavier workloads. However, Jenn has not been helpful to us. She will only interview people tomorrow and we hope that these people will not be those who cannot tahan the job requirements. So far, the permanent staff cannot even last more than 3 days, with 1 leaving after 1 day and the other after 2. I must say this job is too boring for people to take it with crazy hours.

FINALLY, tomorrow will be the last day for me. I can finally say GOODBYE to the crazy hours. It is a bit nostalgic to part with the friends i have known through work, but it is part and parcel of life. So for tomorrow, adios amigos i will remember the times we had.
