9-5 Office Life....

The day I left hairdressing was the day I went into Julia Ross Human Resources in hope of seeking temporary office jobs which (*fingers crossed*) will eventually lead me to my permanent office job in the future. It's been like 2 weeks since I've been wif them and I can totally say I am sooooo satisfied with them!! The first week I was with them, they had already found me this temporary job with a conference-organising company doing data entry and making calls to update into the database. It was fun....and I was happy I am finally into 9-5 jobs...where ppl start work at 8:30 sharp in the morning, have 1 hour break whenever I wanted and say "Have a Nice Weekend..." once the clock strike 5:30....*sweet*. Since last year when I joined Shark Hotel till my days in hairdressing, I had to work at days when people were busy having fun like thursday nites (late nite shopping), friday & saturday.....It was totally different now that I am in office work....I work when people are working and have fun when people are too.....

My office.....

Partial view from my office...imagine 180 degrees of sea view.....



Since that job ended last wednesday, immediately my agent called me and arrange a job in Miller's Point for the rest of the week....how efficient. It made me think for a while that there are so many opportunities out there....it kinda gave hope for me and it kinda felt good after what happened with RAW. And one more good thing was, I felt I was important and I was part of the company when I work in the office. Everyone is so nice to you and treated you as part of them. Miller's Point job was fantastic....imagine 10-5 work, office facing breath-taking sea view of Darling Harbour to Circular Quay, kitchen with everything you need including a 42 in flat screen TV and a fridge full of beer, sparkling mineral water, soft drink and juice that you can take anytime you want......And at the end of the job, people actually appreciate the work you completed for them.....that is the best part....the feeling of accomplishment!

Today is Monday again....and when I did not get any call at 10:30 am, I assume there is no task for me...just as I was about to plan my unemployed day, another agent called me, telling me that she has arrange an interview for me with an international life insurance and financial services company in Australia Square. I met the agent at 2:30, went in the company for interview at 3:00 pm. Everything went smooth.....but one problem...they wanted people to start tomorrow but I told them I can't and wanted to start on Thursday instead. No....I'm not lazy, but I need to go to the airport to pick up my parent's friends who are here for holiday. I need not to do that, but out of courtesy and I am really really worried they might get lost, I decided to go meet them tomorrow n e way. I had organised their trip from the beginning and really wanted to help them up to the end. Say I am overly helpful or whatever, I dunno if I was too helpful that I'm dumb or I'm really nice for being helpful. I did not get back a call from my agent after the interview....meaning there is a chance that I did not get the job. Is it because I wasn't able to start immediately? Or because I really screwed the interview? I was quite confident when I left the office because I tot I had scored it....what was the problem then? Or will they call me back tomorrow instead? One thing I knew I screwed was the results of my data entry and typing test which I overly stated the figure. My agent had told me earlier that they wanted people with 10,000 ksph and my agent told me I had that speed. I was pretty sure I had only 7,000+ ksph but when the interviewer asked me about it, in the midst of really wanting the job, I told her I think I did 9,000 ksph but wasn't sure if that was the correct results and had told her to call my agent to confirm that. I know I lied but I really wanted the job. Maybe the interviewer called the agent and indeed realise I lied?? Gosh...i wasn't as worried before I slept just now....but now that I'm fully recharged and sober, I realise I'm so worried I had made the wrong decision....

Anyhow, I hope I get a good news tomorrow morning...meanwhile I'll keep my fingers crossed!

On a separate issue, I took some funny pics of Rooney with his new toy, Froggy....
