being bored at work has never really been an issue for me
as temp staff or internee you usually find yourself bored out of your wits doing mundane tasks
or in the case, attending meetings and trying to understand the corporate world and its related businesses
but being real frustrated and irritated at work is something that requires more to deal with
my work here is just about kicking me out of a plane with a parachute without teaching me how to deploy it;
or like plucking me from land and dumping me into the sea with no knowledge of how to swim
or so on and so on.. you get the idea.
right now im doing research for an american firm in shanghai as an internee, but i really have no idea how to even start
i've tried many ways and directions, but it all seem to bring me to one dead futile end
i know its prolly my job to keep trying, but perhaps some information are never meant to be found
and its just so damn frustrating to keep hitting the same pt after trying so hard
not to mention, reading everything from chinese and trying to make sense of it all
im just perhaps a little lost and out of my mind
damn, i need a hell of a GPS now..
other than that, things here are pretty a-okay. especially the shopping trip yesterday (:
jane (my dad's assistant) and i spent the entire day out on the streets of shanghai
on one and only mission to fulfil prescribed retail therapy treatment
and it was one great success (: [that is, keeping my eyes closed on the RMB spent]
more pictures will be up later..
met up with lynn a few days ago as well to shop and dine at zhengda guangchang (:
it was a great time catching up and all, but it was pretty scary at the end when we cldnt find a cab home
because everybody gushed out of the mall at the same time and started snatching cabs
there were even a few guys who were beating up this cab driver in front of all of us
but then again, some cab drivers really deserve it.
they wont stop for customers, unless you offer them a high price that satisfies them
so there was sort of a blackmarket or cartel or whatever u call it there
and i had to spend 60RMB to get home, when it cld easily have been just 10RMB
GARHHHH.
4 more days till home sweet home....
i cant wait (:
