a look at my desk

Logistics, courier, mailroom.. anything but marketing...

Yesterday and today have been very tiring, settling issues with the calendars and cards and also delivering the cards and calendars to the various departments. Some things that I learnt in my uni days started to come back... satisfying internal customers have been hard... But I had learnt it the hard way with some colleagues reflecting on the distribution for the calendars and cards that I am in charge of... Which is a good lesson for me...

I could really say that I am the internal mailroom for my department officially.. Yesterday, mailroom called one of my colleague who is situated at 2nd floor to get some stuffs, instead of getting the other temp girl who is nearer to him, he told the mailroom to call me instead.. HAHA in the end it was just a filmsy paper which anyone can handle..

I can also say that I am doing logistic in the department also as I am now currently consolidating, organising of 3 orders for our branch... There is also one pending project for me but I still need to wait for instructions before I send out instructions to the various departments...

I am happy working at my level but is quite demoralised with the fact that I could not get a permanent job at all.. Looking forward to this weekend as I am going to paint my room and giving it a overall makeover..

yet another week...

Story that I wrote to my colleague:

HAHA long story...

The calendars order, 1000 (500 bilingual, 500 normal) of them are for charity. Then I send them an email (9.11.2007) that time to update the order as starting it was 1000 with normal logo. Then the printer din notice about the update and print 1000 normal logo and then somemore they based the printing not from the email but from the distribution list (16.11.2007) which I gave them, so they printed it wrongly as my list did not state the quantity for the different logos under the charity column then they tell me that they did the printing wrongly. To cover up for my mistakes and her mistakes, I email HK side to ask them whether they can take in the normal ones so that they don't have to reprint. Lucky they accept it, so end up we cover our backsides.. Phew~

Friday...

Calendars orders are here.. a whole lorry of calendars and it is 6.00pm everyone is going home.. The deliverymen and I were doing the delivering to the various departments, lucky some of them are still in the office, lucky that I knew where some of them sits which makes the handing over easier and therefore we are able to get the things done within 2 hours with like ??700?? over boxes placed in where they should be.. worse thing is that, I dunno why my mailroom knows that they should call me when the orders came, I think I have become the next mailroom to their mailroom when they need to handle big bulk of stuffs... I am.. the marketing internal mailroom cum logistic cum courier.. My job is no more just an admin staff.. HAHA is that good or bad for a marketing graduate? I wonder why some get to have good job and good pay when they come out yet I got only a temp position in a company... Am I that inferior to them?? Is that really meritocracy all about? study hard hard get good job, study not good you get cert also no one wants you.. WTF~.. That might be what luck, fate, destiny are all about?? it really sucks to the core...

Singapore economy is bluffing us all along... I have not get a permanent job yet and the papers are still reporting that fresh graduates are not meeting the demand.. _|_ sg papers..

Internal mail man..

I dunno about other departments but I think mine is a pai kia department.. Yesterday we were supposed to be in a fire drill yet everyone in our department were like in holiday mood as we are going to celebrate one of our colleague's birthday.. We went to a jap restaurant in suntec.. Shin (dunno what) and then waited for her just before the fire drill.. (and thus escaped the "fire") then my other colleague dragged her and she was stunned when she sees everyone of us waiting for her.... HAHA.. over with that.... Now my job in the department becomes the internal marketing courier guy.. always making delivery between the 2nd and 5th floor... then I am also the logistic guy in the department and worse yet I have become the APAC logistic guy as I have been helping the APAC department to deliver stuffs and making sure that the deliveries came in and arrange for DHL and making sure that everything were in place.. HAHAHA got to go... sending candy to our friend's place.. she is having her wedding today.. good luck guys and girls.

PDA phone!

HAHA candy and I both got ourselves a pda phone!!

Weekend again!!!

Weekend is here again.. sooo fast.. hectic week for me, we were having an event overseas and yet we had only 2 persons coordinating the event over there.. our dept therefore had to assist them here in any ways we could... sometimes i wonder why some vendors or supplier are so reluctant to see us, we wanted to give them $$ yet they keep pushing us away.. -.-" Singapore sees the lowest unemployment rate ever.. yar yar yar.. lotsa jobs no ppl to fill up... why I still cannot find a permanent job yet? unemployment rate is low but what I think is that unhappiness in the job rate is damn high among lotsa employees.
