I am left all alone in my office. My boss is out meeting someone, I've no idea who. My colleagues are both clearing their annual leave, and probably both is Malaysia at the moment. I am only an intern, thus I have no annual leave to clear.
Time seems to pass by quickly today, probably because I am clearing all the work today, and am kept busy to the extend I don't even have time to go to the loo, not like I needed though. HAHA.
Come to think of it, my 12 weeks internship is coming to an end soon. 3 more weeks and I'll be out of the company. I will miss the people here, I think, but I will most probably not miss working here, probably because I dislike desk-bound jobs. It is pretty boring, with not much interaction.
Unlike other schoolmates, I think I prefer working to schooling. I am one of the rare few, and people are surprised when I say that. So do you prefer school or work?

Hi there! It's surprise me that you really like your job so much and you have such a big passion in what you're doing now. I think it is a good thing to motivate you to work. I used to hate study when I was a kid. I hate school but I loved to come just to see my friends. I always thought of working and earning money. Well, now the time is coming but to be honest I hate it! Lol, now I miss my school, my teacher, my friends even I miss study! How weird!

I don't have a great passion for this work actually, but overall, I like the working environment more than the school environment. Most of my friends will say school is so much better after they have gone through the internship programme, but for me, it's the other way around. I like work more than school. Yea, true enough you are being protect when you are in school, but I rather learn to be a little independent. Maybe I don't like the environment in my school. I feel that school is much more stressful than my work life, or perhaps I am lucky enough to get good jobs so far. I don't know, maybe I am just weird. LOL.
Happy mylotting!

Actually my colleagues are pretty nice to me. Probably just the low pay that bothers me more =x. HAHAHA. It's probably not the ideal job that I am looking for I guess.

HAHAH. I don't like schooling also. I am not the studious type I guess. I prefer to learn through experience, learn via hands-on methods. I don't feel lonely la, I had tonnes of work to do actually. I was taking a breather from work just now. I had to seize the chance to take a breather when my boss went out, and have a short break.

Hi there jsloh. I guess you just dislike to work because of the kind of job you have and the emvironment of it. I used to work at cruise ship before, and yes I do really enjoyed my job then, I do have a good salary and at the same time I can visit different places for free. Now Im at a land base job at a hotel in Japan, but I still enjoy my job here.Its a big difference havina a interaction with people rather that desk bound jobs. Hope you will find a interesting job next time. Good luck. Happy day to you.

HAHA. Hello koikoikeiji! I don't exactly hate work actually. In fact, I like it more than school. It's just that it gets boring sometimes. Yes, I need interactions. Actually, I need a balance between interaction and desk-bound. Too much of either makes me too tired or too bored. Thanks and great day ahead too!
