1st Day =P

Hmmm.... I juz realised I haven't blogged about me getting this role at Shell.. hehe...

Anyways... today is my 1st day at work in the new role.

As usual... my car pool mate picked me up for work. Arrived at office about 830am, and like all Shell staff/vendors(after the outsourcing), we need to use our smart card to access to the building. Mine wasnt working, so I had to get my mate to help me flash the card twice to let me in to the building.

Went to the securities at ground floor, explained to them the situation and got the guards to re-enable my access to the building.

Walked across the bridge back to Wisma 2, why 'back'? It's cuz less than 3 weeks ago, my ex-team were seated at Wisma 2, but cuz of the outsourcing program and our team were part of the teams being outsourced to 1 of the 3 vendors, we had to move to Wisma 4, which is allocated for 1 of the vendors.

So, since now my new contract is back to Shell, so, I moved back to Wisma 2 where the Shell retained organisation sits lah! Like nomad eh? Moved office twice in less than 1 month.. haha.

I went to see the Admin Assistant to get my laptop(yeah, I got to use a laptop in this new role..hehe..), it was a loaned unit and she told me that she has placed order for a new laptop for me... so... I should be expecting to get to use a brand new laptop soon..hehehe....

Settled down at my new cubicle and realised that the network cable was missing. So, as usual... called helpdesk to request for one. Didn't know the extension number to my phone line... called helpdesk. Cover to the side of the cubicle dropped off, called helpdesk. Didn't have any drawers to put my stuff, again, called helpdesk. Whole morning.. I was practically on the phone getting things done. Haha...

Then, started to read my mails. Got some mails from my new team lead and a 30-min meeting invite from her scheduled after lunch. Got some stuff to read up prior to the meeting. So... excels, word, powerpoints... all sorts of documents to read and familiarize myself with.

Lunch... had my usual 'yum yum' home-cooked meal. My mum cooked my favourite fried kuey teow-mee last nite, but I didn't get to eat it cuz was invited for dinner at a friend's house after badminton. So, asked her to leave some of my favourite dish for me for lunch today. =P

After lunch... continued with my reading. Then, the meet up with my team lead. It was a very short and compact session. She actually squeezed 30mins of her time and in between this 30mins, she has back to back tele-cons. Busy lady. =)

She brief me on my 1st assignment(3 action items), which is... hmmm... not tat easy. 'I know this is quite tough for a 1st assignment, but try your best ok?', was what she said to me. Hehe... I wasn't treated as a newbie at work, I was given quite a big task on my 1st day at work.. Hehe.. Not bad!

After the meeting, I went to Wisma 4(the building where I worked at for the last 2-3 weeks cuz of the office move...), went back to meet my old team mates, and also to get my earphone, cuz I left it at my PC. I need that to plug it to my laptop to listen to some music at work.. hehe... I need some 'noise' to concentrate... haha.

Then, it's work work work. In between, managed to chat a few liners with my usual chat kakis, but, it was short.

'The person most free is now a busy person' was their remark about me...hehe.. I used to be the 'MOST FREE' person available to chat. But, with this new role, NO WAY I'm gonna have time to chat during office hours! Hehe...

About 545pm, car pool mate buzz me. Time to go home! That's my 1st day at work... in this new role. =)
