The Last Day

Today is the 29th and final working day for me at my current workplace, but nothing seems to work out fine for me in the morning.

Bright and early in the morning, the photocopier was the first to throw a tantrum. After having a mis-feed, I was quick to remedy the situation removing 2 pieces of paper that was stuck in the machine. However, it still shows that there was at least another paper inside. So I performed the paper mis-feed drill again, and again and again, and it still didn’t work. Then manager O came. She basically did the same drill as I did, and poof, the mis-feed is resolved.

My stapler has never failed me in the 2000 shots, but today, a double feeding occurred and required the IA drill. Even the company stamp had something against me. While stamping my timesheet, the stamp somehow got stucked.

I am also quite pai-seh to some of the people in the company. Somehow, they know my name, but I don’t really recall seeing them at all, but well, just smile and say thank you won’t hurt. Anyway, I bade farewell to some of those that I know – the receptionist, Grace, pantry lady (authentic one, not kopi soh from last year’s work place), Lilian, and Herry from IT.

Lunch was packed back to the office. Over lunch, my bosses told some very interesting experiences in some of their overseas trips. They were all so funny, and I’m so envious of all these trips they make with the air fares paid for. Wonder how my future job will be like, though I won’t really like a job that makes me fly all over the places.

My adventure in a department with all people of the opposite gender is over. In the 1.5 month, I sort of felt like I had become the male lead to a Japanese anime with a theme like “Love Hina”. But now, I will have to switch back into the undergrad mode and game like there’s no tomorrow.
