Stop

Playlist

Random sounds from the television in the living room

I have been attacked by paper. So much so that I have sustained multiple injuries. I am so going to bring gloves tomorrow.

I think I'll miss everyone at MBA.

Celine and her kawaii way of typing. She's super nice. Never gets mad at me, despite the few times that I screwed up. And left documents in the printing room. And talked, not so softly, on my phone. And... Yeah. She's never mad at me. I mean, I think I'm hard to get along with, but she so absolutely told me that those born in the Year of the Dog and Horse get along well with each other. Wow. I really like her. Our little walks around campus. Searching high and low for exits. Borrowing equipment. Figuring out how things work. A bond. I am, after all, her first temp staff. We did trial and error on quite a few of the systems. Conquered mountains of applications. Shared jokes... Oh man. I've yet to leave and I already feel nostalgic!

Then there's Jason, who sits in the cubicle right next to us. He goes on and on about people, namely me, who do not punch holes proplerly, in a nice way. He complains that I bully him, I so do not!, and that I look too happy when I offload work onto him. Shucks. I sorta felt he was imposing at first, I think its the built, but... He's a nice guy.

Next up are Richard and Edwin. Is it me or does all the MBA staff have English names... Hmm. Anyhow, Richard's... Err. Shall I say it nicely? He has his own style of working. I shall leave it at that. Edwin. Ah. He has, certain... Issues. Still, the both of them are alright. No one dangerous. No one too outstanding. Alright as colleagues.

Finally. Angelyn. She's the head of us, so I guess she's considered my boss. Or are all of them my boss since the temp is the lowest ranked? Whatever. She's bubbly. Adorable. Quite serious when need be, and tends to hog the toilet key. Hilarious incidents of Celine and I hunting high and low for the key. not exactly pleasant when your bladder is full, but on the whole? Funny.

I've had a good time. Free lunches. Staff discounts. Much laughter. A relaxed environment where everyone seems at peace, if not happy. Fighting with the printer. Learning to scan copies. Weighing mail. Addressing cards. Putting together admission packages. An agreement not to answer phone calls... This two months have been a blast. Thank you for hiring me. For working with me. For accepting me.

Byebye :)
