2nd Day @ Work

Last nite there was a farewell dinner to all trainees under my division and welcome dinner to Ainie who's joining the division for the subsequent 3 months.

('Ainie, ur under my department now.' 'NO! I tot Marketing??' 'No.' 'Carneyz, I'll dieeeee!' while hugging me in the hope that she'll sap away my spirit or something)

All the managers did a 'Yee Sang' (izit correct, Jen?) including us and there were wishes uttered during the occasion:

'Bigger paycheque!' 'More success!' 'New office please...' Lastly from Ainie, 'Marry rich guy!' (tulah, dulu macam nak rak kitaorang matchmake ngan Chairman tak nak plak...)

We spent the night at Ainie's place and at 6.45 am Jen woke me up, half-groggily,
'Carneyz. Prayer time... zzzz...' (sabar jelah, tak pe Jen, in the future, u must also learn how to wake up early n pray 'Subuh'! Hah! :p)

2nd day at work felt strange. My current supervisors don't know what to do with me so they settled to give me simple tasks as to check calculations, yada2. Then my former boss asked me to join a meeting so I can hand over my pending tasks to a worried-looking Ainie (Ainie just came over to check with me whether it was Mr. K or Mr. S who told that we can keep the Xmas trees at one of the stores).

Still, I have limited opportunity to blog as my workstation is OPEN TO THE WORLD TO SEE. Oh, greattt...

Shifting From Comfort Zone

Finally it's happening. The Great Departmental Shift. When we came in this morning, we were lingering at the main area, looking lost and feeling it. Jen looked awfully miserable as she had to go to GH department, which is separated from the main office where we have been working for the last 6 months.

'Are we moving?'
'Why must I move far, far away from u guys?'
'Are we moving?'

Chairman wandered around, trying to decide which cubicle he likes best. Finally he settled to sit in front of his great buddy, my first enemy here. Then Ainie helped Jen to move her stuff while I made arrangements to go to a meeting somewhere else.

My 10.30 meeting was held in Gelang Patah at one of the well-known port. After the meeting, we were accompanied for a tour around and it was really impressive (it still hasn't beat beloved's office and talking about human sensor, I still felt like chuckling remembering the way beloved suddenly flung his arms to create a sort of a movement so the lights at his office turn on)

So now I'm under a new department at a more open space where everyone can see me blogging (no more secluded area!). To be continued...

Christmas Tree, where are you?

Pagi nih aku datang cun2 kul 9 pagi. Walah! Pagi tadi tayar pancit plak. Aku terkial2 mengisi angin kat Petronas. Nasib baik ada 2 orang mamat Kelate (berdasarkan loghat diaorang) yg baik hati menawarkan bantuan. Kalau dah orang offer nak tolong, kasi jelah. Dah selesai, aku ucapkan tima kaseh n blah. Best aa, jadi pompuan nih ;p

Pas tuh aku pun memecut ke opis (dah lambat mah! 15 minit ke pukul 9 pagi...) Teringat la perbualan aku ngan orang tu masa lepak2 kat KL:

Orang tu: Baik2 bawak motor dah sampai nanti.
Aku: Ok. Tak bawak laju. 100 je.
Orang tu (tersedak) : Erk?
Aku: Hehe. Ok, ok. Malam kita bawak perlahan.
Diam sekejap.
Aku: 90 je.
Orang tu: Perlahannyer...

Jadi pagi tadi aku bawak besa2 je. 100. Tu yg cun2 sampai kat opis. Sesampai je kat opis, bos aku suruh carik Xmas tree. Ah, senang je. Check ngan store-keeper. Store-keeper cakap tak dak. APA? Huh, nak wat lagu mana nih? Panik melanda. Aku call DO, DO cakap supplier amik. Aku call supplier, supplier cakap diaorang tak de amik balik n ada 'management people took the snow flakes n Xmas tree'.

Sumer tak ngaku diaorang amik. Aku dah fening kepala. Camana aa? Aku pun terpaksa jadi Sherlock Holmes. Kita use Cartesan Logic. DO cakap supplier amik. Kalau supplier cakap dia tak amik, that means DO main rembat jawab. Cross out DO. Supplier cakap 'management people'. So management people nih musti orang yg pakai tie supaya dia dikenali sbg 'management'. Siapa management bertugas arituh?

Call Customer Service tanya sapa yg bertugas pada hari diaorang dismantle the Xmas tree:
Aku: F, u nampak tak sapa yg angkut Xmas deco tu?
F: Tak sure la. Sebab hari tu I dah nak balik. Tapi diaorang memang angkut bawak ke stor.
Aku: Sapa yg in-charge?
F: En. R la rasanya. Ha, memang En. R ada kat situ mlm tu.
Bingo.

Seterusnya, aku pun carik En. R n dia pun bawak aku ke satu stor yg aku tak tau pun kewujudannya. Ta-dah! Christmas tree ada di ceruk stor. Aku menarik nafas lega. Fuh. Nasib baik.

(Balik semula ke opis)

Aku: I've found the Xmas tree.
Boss: Good. Can you arrange for the Xmas deco to be transferred...
Aku (bengang) : (tadi tak cakap pun nak kena transfer. Buang karen betul)

Begitulah kisah aku mencari Xmas tree...

Pindah Skin Baru...

Excited! Walah2x... Setelah berminggu2 membina 'rumah' blog yg baru (hehe.. bukan aku yg buat aaa... Aku amik kontraktor bertauliah nyer wat keje2 hi-tech ni!) dan beberapa sesi soal jawab user-developer ('tak nak sketching! Nak kotak! Nak tu n nak ni...') akhirnya siap jugak la 'rumah' idamanku selalu .

Ahem, ahem. Citer dari awal la. Hari nih aku dipanggil utk menghadiri mesyuarat kat KL utk Project 2 aku yg dah tertangguh beberapa minggu. Sesi mesyuarat tu membuat kesimpulan bahawa perlu ada lagi mesyuarat di Johor minggu depan, dan mesyuarat di KL Jumaat depan. Orang tu mesti suka sebab minggu tu aku cuti hari Sabtu tu, so bley lepak lelama kat KL

Aku tak sedar rupa2nya selama nih aku bekerja bawah sorang dermawan yang cukup dermawan, kaya-raya, mempunyai beberapa buah syarikat yg kukuh dan terkenal, aset yang tak dapat ditandingi nilainya oleh sesapa jutawan kat Mesia nih, dan paling aku kagum, seorang yang cukup merendah diri dan bersederhana. Aku teringin la plak nak jumpa ngan pemilik syarikat nih yang bukan setakat menempah saham dunia, tapi saham akhirat jugak.

Anyway, lepas abis meeting, aku call orang tu n kitaorang pun gi makan. Lepas tu, kitaorang gi lepak2 kat opis dia sambil memindahkan kandungan blog ke rumah baru. Akhirnya... tadah! beginilah hasilnya...

OKlah. Meh habaq awal2 no... aku nak pindah address plak, minggu depan kot, ke address nih:
http://carneyz.blogspot.com Tukaq, jgn tak tukaq! Hehe. Ok la. Ciao!

Terkadang tersentuh hati
Bila coretannya
Penuh dalam maknanya
Hingga terpegun memikirkan
Emosi apa yang menguasainya
Sahabatku
Aku keliru menafsirkan bait-bait katamu.

Childhood best friend.
