A word from my heart

It's a rainy Saturday morning. Again, I came to office to work. I have worked for nearly a month. All I could say about my internship is boring. There's no better word to describe it. There is no routine job for me since I'm a trainee. All I need to do is bring my own laptop and wait for new tasking. I admit that all the thing I have done so far is none related to my course, honestly. I chose to go for a food factory, and most importantly I knew it was a small and old place, I still go for it. I always wondered if I insisted and paid more attention to my internship, perhaps my life today would be a bit different.

Everyday is a boring day for me. Wait for 12noon and 5pm everyday. Wait for Saturday every week. Wait for end of month. I should have done some changes on such a boring job but there's nothing I can do to change it. It's an internship, a 6 month internship. They would not let me handle routine job since they know I'm just a trainee, a temporary worker that would not worth the time to teach and educate (and I'm glad that they did that). All they give me is some extra work, which could be done by someone else and can have being not existed at all. It's just some extra job that I think why it should exist since it just too extra and meaningless. I can't imagine how I am going to spend half a year in such a place. No space for self development and self enrichment. 

Started to understand what a friend told me before. Internship is somehow useless, you can learn not much from it. I would not deny it. I think one day I would eventually agree with it. The company policy should change. I could see the workers are not happy with their current jobs. Yet, one of them have worked here for 20 years. Luckily my attachment with this company is 6 months and I would not stay any longer at here, seriously. Somehow I think I'm wasting my time at this place. I'm here just because the decision I made yesterday. So think twice before making any decision.

After all, it was not a whole negative thing. Glad that eventually I learnt and found something in my life. I am always unsure about my future planning, and I'm glad that this company have slowly guide me to look for the place where I shall belong. You have to pay to get the thing you want. It's true.

Working life started~

Kick start February with my 6 months internship at SPIC.

On the first day, I spent like almost 3 hours reading and starring at the previous trainees report while waiting for the manager, also the boss to come. Then the manager walked me to the pepper and fruits garden. I was wearing heels and it was totally not convenient at all stepping on the soils and rocks. He told me I can wear T-shirts and flat sandals next time instead as I might have to go to garden once a while. He asked me the names for all the fruits planted and of course, I failed to answer any of it. I was given the tasks for continuing the previous project done by previous trainees. It was a brand new and challenging thing for me since I am not excellent in generating ideas.

The reason I dislike my job~

#1 Long working hours in a week (work 2 weeks for full in alternate Saturdays). 

#2 Bring my own laptop and stationary to work. (working also need bring own resources one?)

#3  Low monthly payment (lower than those Indonesian maids, not even 1/3 of 1K).

#4 No need  OL look at all (after 6 months I might pay no attention in dressing jor!)

This is going to happen for my life in the next 6 months. 6 months can mean a lot. Increment of salary, end of probation period, awarded half of bonus too)

#1 Good thing is I can get connected most of the time since I am in charged in searching information via my own laptop (writing this post during my working time...shhhh). 

#2 The place is near with my house. 

#3 I can work independently without supervision. 

#4 Quite friendly staffs too (though just few of them).

1 thing to blame: How come Faculty of Food Science and Technology, UPM  set 6 months for internship???
