你现在到底清楚了吗？

Thursday, May 24, 2007

sometimes, i really cant believe i am doing what i am doing in a newsroom. so what have i been doing? (roughly...) the first week - i cant rmb how time went by, but it just did. save for an interview i did on thursday, for which i rushed out the article the next day but only got it back last week and the final copy approved just days ago (tuesday? i cant rmb!).

the second week - oh i collated addresses too. some 2400 of them. someone else helped me, but i really dont think she did as much as i did...so maybe 1800 for me, 600 for her. =X i felt as if i toured singapore in that few days, seeing all the different street names, some i have nv seen in my life like lim tua tow road and aroozoo lane and lorong lew lian (i have no idea where they are!).
when we finally hit the 2500, i didnt feel the elation, i felt annoyed. cos that wasnt the end...after the addresses are typed, we had to wait for the envelopes to come in...

third week (this week) - envelopes came in on monday evening...and while waiting for that, i had to cut the big pieces of paper into small little ones, one sheet has 28 names.....i did all the cutting myself, with the help of a paper cutter of course, while the other girl was busy with some other online thing boss asked her to do (she noes html you see, so they actually brought her in to help with the website stuff).
and then guess what? we had to paste the addresses onto the envelopes ourselves! GOSH. such a killer. started doing this on tuesday, at first i was doing it all by myself, cos the other intern wasnt free and i felt terrible!!! =( some colleagues who walk by will give me that look then i just look at them and 苦笑...aiyo.
can i start bitching now?? haha =P
finally, the other intern (she) was free yesterday to help me with those darn admin stuff. every morning when i come in, i help distribute the papers. that's at 10am. she came in at the same time, and just sat there and read her magazine and used her comp to do -i-dunno-what when i was doing all the filing and stuff! well, it's nothing wrong with that, but i was thinking, "wah lau! so buay自动 one leh! saw me do the pasting yesterday alr mah, cannot start first meh? or at least ask if need to do the thing lah!" so i was a bit irritated. cos the stupid pasting thing is easy but then super time-consuming and brainless. and not offering to help doesnt help at all.

when she finally started helping when i got down to doing it, i'd rather she dint help at all. haha. ironic eh? maybe i am ANAL, but i just cannot agree with the way she does things leh! like, she can squeeze so much glue to that thin tiny piece of paper containing the address and then glue starts oozing out when that piece is pasted onto the envelope. i could hear the squishing sounds of the glue bottle when she applies glue onto the paper. and, there is so much glue that the back of the envelope is wet also leh!!!! =X i told her, "eh! no need use so much glue one! later the envelopes all stick together." and really, some stuck together. i said, "see, i told you!" i tried to be as un-hostile as i possibly could. i wonder if she could hear my dismay. i dun think she did. =X

ok lah, maybe i shouldnt be so anal cos different people do things differently but...you know, i used two-thirds of a bottle of glue to do 5 boxes, equivalent to 1250 envelopes...she used one bottle of glue + that 1/3 of mine + another half of another bottle...for ONLY TWO boxes!! can you imagine the amount of glue used on each?!

hahaha. i cant believe i am getting all so upset over small little things like this. rahhh. do you guys think i am unreasonable? well, maybe a little i guess. but heck, i really看不顺眼...it all just gives me a very messy feeling. i dint know i am such a neat freak.

i dun dislike her, just dont agree with her actions. oh well. haha. now i feel better after letting it all out. give yourself a clap if you have read till the fullstop at the end of this last sentence of a not very meaningful entry that only goes to show how fussy i am even with trivia things like this.
