ah.. my first day at work.. hold it! i've just recalled some old memories. memories which falls back several years in past... it was back in primary grade. i still remember it. i had to write about "my first day at school", the very first day we attended school, in nursery grade :) every kid used to write something like ...
"aharen school ah dhiyumuge kurin baiy keyeemeve. dhen dhabahah foiy thah elhee eve. dhen fenvare eve. fen veree mamma aa ekuga eve. dhen reethi vegen mamma aa eku dhiyaee fihaara asheve. gossa aharen school ah gendhaane milk packet akaai chickens ring packet eh gatheemeve. dhen baaru baarah hingaafai school ah dhiyaee eve. dhiya magumatheegai varah gina meehun fenuneve. adhi varah gina dhuvvaa ehchehi ves fenuneve. adhi school uniform laigen thibi varah gina kudhinves fenuneve. eyge thereyga aharenge ekuveri kudhinves fenuneve. dhen school ah gos vanee eve. eyee varah bodu thanekeve. varah baivaru meehunves ethaa thibbeve, mulhi thanun ivenee kudhin roa adeve. dhen aharenves roan feshee eve...."
i, too, must have written something like that, but that was past. today, one decade later, here i am, abt to write on "my first day at work". please excuse me for the lack of skill to make this interesting, for i do not have the talents of writing nor to be imaginative. so here i continue...
i opened my eyes. i saw nothing but total darkness. i could not see a single ray of light. the silence in the room was deafening. i turned aside, grabbed my mobile on the side table to see how many nanoseconds were left to get up. but damn! the time was 5.55 in the morning. i had no idea why i was awakened so early. so i just rolled from side to side in bed, thinking if it wud be a gud idea to go back to sleep, or to get up fearing i mite not be able to wake up again. i had to make a choice. a choice that would have an influence on my day ahead. better not ask me how, just believe it. i chose to get up, and i did it. i could already feel my bladder full and about to burst out. but i just couldnt ignore my PC and walk past it. so i sat down, and started my day.... minute by minute passed, and in a lil while later, my mobile alarmed. yes! the time was 6.45 then. i stood up, grabbed the towel and ran to the toilet. and during all that time i just couldnt get one thought out of my mind.. the thought that it was gonna be my first day at job! :p
after freshening me up for the day ahead, i started dressing up. unlike the first day of my school, my mum wasnt there. i never had breakfast beforehand, neither had my parents to ensure i bathed fully. and neither had them to dress me up. i was alone, all alone.. i kept telling myself, "jaheen! you're grown up!". the time was flying by very fast. i wasnt surprised to see mum still asleep, for i knew she must have been really tired packing up stuff for dad who left abroad during midnight. hmm.. anyways, while i was abt to wear the office tie, mum came running, fearing that i would still be asleep. hehe! but she calmed down as she saw me dressed up and ready to leave. then, i just sipped some water and headed towards my office. i wasnt as nervous as i expected me to be.
it took just 4 minutes for me to reach office. but got stuck once i reached there. i had no idea from where to get in, cos the main door was locked. but just like how things were going my day since the day began, at that moment my smart-looking boss arrived in. he guided me inside the building and made me sign the staff attendance book. i met a couple of "office mates" there. two ladies, not chicks though. they seemed quite surprised to see me and i knew why! then i followed my boss and he took me to the section where i was supposed to work. there was nobody inside the room, except the cleaner who was busy sweeping the place. my boss, showed me my cabin and said
he'll introduce me to everyone once they arrive. so i sat there, just taking a good look at the room. the place was really new and looked nice. after a few minutes, my chief came to me and assigned me with my first task! my first assignment in the government! :) it dint look very difficult, and i completed it within a few minutes. my next move was to follow my work-mate who took me for orientation inside the place. the people seemed nice, freindly and approachable.
after a few hours, i went for break.. i was all silent cos i wasnt "friends" with everyone.. but i really hope i'd get over that soon and become buddies in no time :D
talking about chicks, umm.. well.. i just met only one! but the only one was hot enough to make me not mind abt others, as they fit into the category of "ladies" and not chicks or babes :p heheh.. (i bet she'd be reading this blog one day in the future and wud skin me alive for calling her "hot"! :p sorry babe, u're really hot ).. anyways,i prefer not to talk much abt the ladies/chicks/babes, as i havent met everyone YET!
time flew by quite fast through out the working hours.. i did go to MMA twice with an office mate for some business, although accounts isnt part of my job :p oh and yeah! i met a school mate, who's now working at MMA. her "smile" was more than enough for me to know that i looked awful in office dress! :p lol.. not to mention i had a tough time with my tie, loosening it all the time to swallow :p
well.. abt the works at office, i really cant say much.. i've been asked not to "leak" anything regarding the works and their status.. hehe :p so too bad if u've been readin this to find out what works are going on there.
anyways i really did enjoy my first day there. i'm kinda tired of typing this.. sigh! i give up! :p
adios!
