Stressful, exhausted and sick.

This is what I feel right now. This has nothing to do with my personal life. It is all about my job here. I am tired of doing the same thing or repetitive works every day. I hate them so much. Currently, I am trying very hard to finish all the tasks assigned for me. At the same time, I also have to check some works done by my team mate and I am a bit surprised since she is senior and I am supposed to do something else rather than checking her work. In fact, she is very nice to me and I hope she will not take an advantage of my kindness to dump all the rubbish on my desk. If she really wants me to check or do her job, just let me know and if that is an order from my lead, surely I will sweep all the rubbish. Last time when people heard about the brilliant chance offered to me for working here, all of them congratulate me. Thanks. Knowledge wise, I am right on the track. In term of the working culture, yes they are very good, hard working, punctual, committed and dependable. I do agree with that. Apart from that, I think there is something missing. Personally, I think they lack of management expertise. Maybe this is only happened in my project, or maybe in my unit, or maybe they are very busy implementing HAZOP comments, or maybe detail design is about to kick-off. Maybe. I don’t know. Anyway, my point is that everything is not in order and not well placed. It is a pain to find some “master” documents. Yes, we can manage to find it through the database but we are not sure whether the documents concerned are the latest one or not or to make sure if there any comments or markup on the latest documents. I put this as a big problem because I don’t like to do repetitive work. That’s all. Sometimes I love the pressure. It is not the same feeling like those school days. It can really boost my strength and enhance my normal capability to achieve something unpredictable. This week the French class started. While working like a mad, I have been invited to join the class since I will stay here for almost 1 year. Last week, somebody called my telephone and she spoke French with me. Yes, I can’t reply her. I have zero knowledge on this language. Actually, she’s from “language department” in my office specially dedicated to teach “outsiders” the French language. Since I can only reply her 100% English, (it means can’t speak French at all), I have to join Group 1. I believe this class is for beginners. Hehehe. The class schedule is very tight since only two hours per week for three months are provided for the course. I don’t think it’s enough. Learning in the first class was horrible. The lecturer hadn’t use even single English words. It’s crazy and really put me in high pressure condition. It’s a hard time for me to catch up everything only for a short time. Besides, there are three of my colleagues from Malaysia and one guy from Chennai that also join the class. All of them used to learn French before and surely they have no problem in the first class. Huhuhu =(
