Stuck in a Work Rut


Internship is a foretaste of working life. Now, I can finally understand the reason behind those blank and sleepy faces on the morning train rides to town (school). I think I'm almost capable of looking like them. Give me 2 more weeks. Going to work practically zapped every ounce of energy I have left in my body after waking at 6 every morning and sleeping at 1 plus every night. Weekends seem so cherished once you work 8 to 5 every weekday.

Oh anyway, why am I still blogging during office hours? Its actually my lunch break now and I'm typing in near pitch darkness. In China, most people sleep during their lunch breaks, and hence most of the lights are off between 12 to 1. Another reason, is the energy saving policy in Shenzhen during summer. It's pretty obvious; the lack of elevators and the dark staircases (the lights will only turn on based on weight sensors).

Very different from singaporeans; we hardly conserve power energy (when we ought to) and we love to talk cock and gossip during lunch breaks while they, prefer to get their lunch done asap, rush back (not to work) to sleep. Even while typing this post, I can hear snores coming from the cubicle next to mine. Getting used to it. I'm even getting used to speaking in chinese.

I feel that my threshold for the experiences out of my comfort zone has increased tremendously ever since I got here. Foodwise, I dont find myself complaining much about the lack of tasty food in the company's canteen. Yes, I do complain once in awhile but I still eat the food. It's all about the getting used to.

Okies, its time for me to get back to work.
