Coping with changes

After being back in SPH for a week, I find myself still coping with some changes. For me, there are good news and bad news. Good news is that delivery notes are now smaller, down from A4 size to receipt size, thus making handling them easier and also easier in consolidating them. Bad news is that I got to be more involved in Weekly Sales Orders (WSO) work which I did not handle them the last time round.

Previously, I look forward to every wednesday as its a day where a colleague will drive a few of us temps out to macpherson area to have lunch. It often varies from duck rice to things such as Ipoh Hor Fun. But nowadays, it seems that the colleague is not driving out anymore. It makes me wonder whether he still has a car or not. I will ask him one day whether he still drives or not. For now, I just follows where the other two temp staffs want to go for lunch.

Lately, one incident has made me wonder whether i am the one at fault. There is this distributor who returns some magazines and they are being kept at our side temporarily. I made sure that before I return him 3 magazines that are supposedly deem to be extra, there are to be 37 magazines. The next day that our side pass it to the store side, it turns out that there are 3 magazines short instead. Now, either its because I took out 3 additional magazines which I am sure it couldn't have been the case or somebody took it without me knowing. Hopefully the lost magazines are found soon so that no one else has to be held responsible.

So far so good...

Things have gone well as planned... Looks like in no time, i will meet some colleagues whom I have worked with before. Wonders what shall I talk to them? Shall think about it these few days since there is still some time before I meet them... How I love wednesdays back when I work there... Shall talk more about it next time... Stay tuned... =P

Job confirmed...

Just received news on monday from HR about the latest job offer. Its a 6 month contract with a decent pay of $6 per hour. Somehow Its a bit less than what I expected but still I feel it is acceptable. So I filled in the application form and send in the necessary documents through email. I hope everything else goes well so that I can work in SPH starting 12 Sept 2011. Hopefully, this will be a refreshing start in my working life...

Waiting for latest Job offer...

I have heard from my supervisor that it will be a contract job and not a temp job. So now he says that he has told HR to contact me about the revised job offer, but I have not heard from HR since the day he told me this. I certainly hope that things will not come to a standstill as I am now waiting for the HR to contact me. It has been more than half a week since there is any latest development. I think I will ask the supervisor to check with his HR side by monday afternoon if i still have not received any news by then. If the 2 weeks notice still apply, then I shall start work on 12 Sept 2011. If only a week notice is needed, then I still can meet the 5 Sept date. Anyway, the only thing I hope now is that the HR can contact me as soon as possible if not I am really clueless about how late than expected that I can start work in a familiar environment.

Temp Job or contract job?

Now, my new job starting date is not fixed yet although I hope issues such as whether it is a contract job or not can be finalised soon. Hopefully, it won't be a temp job as i am looking to work for a much longer term but if the supervisor says it is temporary measure then i probably accept the terms. At the moment though, the supervisor still has not picked up my calls. I wonder what is he busy with, though i still will try to contact him probably during my lunch breaks. Must hear personally from him why the job offer is a temp one and not a contract or even a perm one. Anyway, should things get finalised soon, hopefully as early as sept 5 I can start work in SPH or else it will be much later than initially planned.

Job Change soon??? or not???

Hi everyone, I am glad that i passed the probation rather smoothly and can claim some allowance in due time. But now, the supervisor of my past company claims he can help me find work in his company. So now, my mind seems to be rather keen on a move back to my old company if he can really help me find a department that i can work in. So how long more will i be training in IMH library? A week more or longer? That i think will depend on how things go in the next few days...

Back after a long break...

Hi everyone, I am back here blogging after a long break. I am now training in IMH library as a librarian assistant. So far, I have provisionally passed my probation. For how long am I going to undergo this training, I don't know. Maybe a month more, maybe half a year? Let's see what happens next...

BTW, Happy National Day, Singapore!
