Expect the Unexpected

First day of work... There's so many things that I expect to occur... yet, the outcome was otherwise... ...

1. I was supposed to report at 0830... Before peak hour which is 0900 (I always thought so)... So, I shouldn't have a problem squeezing into the train and bus all those, right?

Yea right...

... ... ...

It's so scary~~~

I make it into the train today... But I really don't know whether I'm able to do so tomorrow... In fact, I barely made it today... I have to walk down the platform and went in from a door that was "not" so pack just as the door was closing... But I heard that the train come every 2 minutes ... so hopefully it's not as bad as I think...

2. I'm the only person attached to Shimadzu... So I expect I'll alone throughout the whole journey... But guess what? I met ZX at the bus stop.. And his workplace is just opposite mine =D Yes, I start to feel that the day is not as bad...

3. I report at Shimadzu... the receptionist was helping me to call the person I'm supposed to report to... Hmm, the phone has been ringing for a while... Maybe she's away from her desk? ... ... The truth is... she's more than away from the desk... She is ON LEAVE!!!! Just what going to happen to me?!? Luckily, one of my interviewers saw me... If not, I don't know how long I have to wait as the receptionist didn't know that whoever she's calling is on leave... So I guess the day can still be considered as okay?

4. I was told to wait at their library... and I waited for... More than one hour... This is definitely not what I expect to do for the first hour of my attachment... Sitting around and reading some of the articles published by the company...

5. Finally!! My supervisor(s) to be came... Yes, I can't wait to do something... Even if it's just preparing solution or disposing chemicals... Yet... Never in my life... have I feel... feel... so useless!! Basically, I'm just standing and watching as my supervisor prepare solutions... Oh no, I got help out in labelling... Yes, I helped to label like 3 containers =.= Hmm, I guess I have to be more patient and wait for them to teach me new skills and distribute works to me...

6. Okay... I knew I'm cursed... It must be because of me... Just my mere presence... Yes, it must be me...

The machine that my supervisor was briefing me about broke down... Who would expect to spent more than 2 hours of your first day of work watching your supervisor trouble-shooting... And talk about the day being... okay... At least I learnt something...
