Phantom Reborn

I was like a Red Indian whom came from one of the eerie tribes somewhere in Africa ever since I came back home from Port Dickson. And this morning when I got up, as usual, I took a glance at my handsome face, but another glimpse caused me a slight scare. My face was as if being animated, I looked like Hellboy! How cool was that? And even more cooler, Hellboy with a skin-peeling face! I was wondering how should I face my colleagues when I get to the company?

Today is the very first day I drove my very own car, and drove it to my workplace. I should be disgraceful towards how my sense of direction has brought me up over the years, plus I'm a guy, for God's sake.

But what my intuition tells me all this while proves to be correct, so when you drive, you learn the way, you recognize the routes. "Argh, enough of these useless moaning!", you would probably thinking this kind of sentence right now. I'm so sorry to moan like a sissy girl over some sense of directions thingy, I really do. If you're still okay with it, then soldier on with the post, will ya?

Well... Jobs in a corporate are no new things for me, I'm definitely no first-timer for such kind of jobs. But things got a twist in the company I'm currently working in. In the past, temporary staff was my title. Therefore, it practically means whatever you do in the office or company, if correct, you might get praises from others; wrongdoings, others took the blames on behalf of you. But this day onwards till the end of the next 6 months, things correctly done - that's part of your job; mistakes committed - clean up your arse and prepare to feel the pain. The difference is just that simple, really.

So, basically... First impression is highly important for a newcomer, everybody knows that. So I drove my old junk to the destination and arrived darn early in the morning at 7.45am. Imagine arriving at a work place 1 hour and 15 minutes earlier, and the shops were not showing any signs of warm welcome towards the pedestrians. All shops were closed.

At about half an hour later, finally I saw one of my colleagues unlocked the door. When I first entered the company, every colleague of mine was staring at me, jaw-dropped. When I was introduced to one of the top salesperson in the company, he asked for my position in the company. The person who showed me around answered, "He's working as a nutritionist here." He exclaimed, "Nutritionist? Then why are your face like that?"

Oh come on man, that's sun burn, for God's sake.... =_=" The sun was really merciless to me the other day...
