had some time to myself today... got home early, watched some tv and went into the room to look through some of the websites and blogs that I haven't been visiting for some time... stared at the laptop for some time.. not knowing what to do next... all of a sudden i spaced out...
my vision seemed to have gone back to what have i done for the past one mth at work... in the midst of travelling to and fro suntec city... what have i actually done at work?
it's been almost a month... so what have i achieved so far? maybe being a professional surfer, professional report pulling... nothing else i guess... recently a colleague of mine got the news that she is converted to perm.. i'm happy for her.. but looking at myself, i wonder if i can last so long in the company to be converted... HP gave me hopes of conversion but yet after a meeting, the hopes were dashed... ever since then, i told myself that being a contract doesn't really matter as long as u perform well, i stay away from office politics although occasional gossiping or bitching happens... i make silly mistakes at work but i learn from them... so far, those mistakes have never happened again... but does all these help u to be converted? does working long enough in a company help?
data migration happened this week, having gone through almost three data migration and numerous UATs, i had my expectations... but honestly, this data migration has got to be the easiest... i spent most of my time muddling through project stages and jargon which i have not even heard before... and my achievement? i muddled through a wrong sheet of data and completed one project... yay? how long does anybody take to go through that? 1 day 2 day? i dun even know why am i there in the first place.. i'm just keying in things without understanding and i wouldn't even be able to detect if things are missing or wrong...
what about normal aka routine work, you say? i went through the JD that I was given... other than one or two of them that I am currently working on, I dun seem to see any other stuff that I am lacking... i run reports weekly.. in fact more than weekly... i'm looking at how to customise reports for the operations to be smoother so as to ease the burden on the managers... i'm trying to pull out all the projects to ensure they are recorded correctly...checking with managers on the progress of the opportunities... what else am i gonna do?
like what my colleague told me.. now the highlight is the newest system that is launched.. no longer the system that i am in charge of... i can see that too... my boss is overly anxious about the new system, he couldn't even be bothered about me.. no matter how much i involve myself in my own system, it would look as if it is part of my job... who am i to fight with a new baby?
sigh...
