Last Day At Work

Friday (9/2/07) was my last day at work as an examination attendant, and looking back, I didn't even realize that I've worked for two weeks. It seemed that time was ticking pretty slowly. Anyways, I did nothing much as there weren't many venues opened as examinations were less. Instead, I was assigned to do more paper work at the office which I found it really interesting.

In conjunction with my last day at work, here is a few of my inner thoughts about part-time job.

• I realize work gives me a sense of fulfillment and accomplishment, no matter how boring, tiring or difficult a job is.
• It enables me to socialize and expand my circle of friends and contacts of all ages, from all walks of life.
• To gain working experiences and exposure.
• To explore, test and evaluate career choices.
• To withstand peer pressure and stress, and to build self-discipline.
  
• Last but not least, to earn some $$$ of course. ^_^
  

~Well, do wish me luck as I search for more jobs.~

Tiring Day At Work But It's Ok

What a tiring day as my team watched over about two hundred students in the examination hall today. It's my second time watching over a large number of students actually, and previously, I complained how terrible it was, but then I realized it's not that bad after all.

And how could I forget about the afternoon session where the students were sitting for 'Colour Studies' exam under Mass Communication. I gotta say it's INTERESTING as I got to glance at their answers while I walked around to check if there were any students in need. Well, 'Colour Studies' is to test the students' creativity and creativity is what I love, so yes, it's something that got my attention. There was a moment where I wish I could "sit for the exam", just to bring out my creativeness, unfortunately, it's truly impossible. Still, I was "entertained" by them, my boredom began to fade away, and bit by bit, I felt totally recharged. :)

Shed Some Pounds + Self-Discipline

I'm not a girl who does workout diligently, although I'm body conscious. In more precisely, I'm just a girl who does workout occasionally, or whenever I want to. The workout machine in the back room is no longer running and that's a pity I gotta say, as each time I want to use it, my tiredness draws me away. Perhaps, I should really start using it again in order to have a fitter and toner body, and do pardon me if this affiliates with my vanity in other ways.

Yesterday was really tiring as I worked. All the runnings up and down and more than 20 times of washroom trips (to watch over the students) quite got on my nerves but thankfully, I wore my pair of Skechers sneakers instead of high heel kitten pointed shoes, thus, not much of physical damage done although I did feel pain on my calves. I felt I had run many miles or even entered a Jog-A-Thon.

BUT, as I look at in a different perspective, it's kinda silly and de-motivating of me to just complain and whine. After all, there are no jobs in this world that are easy, and I believe what it takes is to have a positive attitude and of course, this includes self determination.

And now, I've put all the negative thoughts about my work away from my head and I tell myself this - It's not that bad, at least, I'm able to build self-discipline, gain some experience, earn some $$$ and shed some pounds in two weeks time. :)
