Professional in every possible way

Besides the challenging task of skimming all newspapers for all sorts of news – political, social, economic (but no entertainment) and summarizing relevant articles – the task which the company assigned us to mould us into potential research analyst and broaden our career opportunities, we now have another minor tasks in which we have to diligently capture our daily activities, including Saturday and Sunday. Before I go into that, I need to substantiate that we don’t only summarise news. It all goes into a weekly intelligence journal which goes to the ‘who’s who’ in the company. Woohoo!!! The distribution list is divided into:

1. Unclassified

2. Classified
Confidential – limited circulation
Restricted – news that will damage the company
Secret – news that will BADLY damage the company but pardon me that I can’t go into the details b’cos it’s secret.

Here’s my list of activities and status:-

Monday
*Felt blue but still turned up for work - Completed
*Intelligence journal - No end

Tuesday
*Intelligence journal - no end
*Sent out job applications - WIP (Importance: very very HIGH)

Wednesday
*Intelligence journal - No end

Thursday

*Intelligence journal - No end
*Blog - Working on it now

Friday

*Intelligence journal...No end
*To watch my favourite cartoon – Monster, 11pm on okto


Saturday
*To become more intelligent.
*To reluctantly turn up at company’s sports event to show superficial support cover it for the internal newsletter. F***!


Sunday
To sleep like a log.

Note: only the key tasks are mentioned too many nitty gritty like collecting crumbs of info for some important stuff (secret).

To further illustrate how professional i am:

I met this ang moh ladyat the security counter. She heard where i'm going and stretched out her hand and introduced herself "Hi, I'm xxx from the Australia office" and you are?"

Without hesitation, I shook her hand and replied "I'm Kris, i'm here for an interview."

Awkward silence for a few seconds b4 she regained her composure and said "Oh, good luck..."
