Current Mood: Happy

So wads the update? I’ve got myself a full-time job.

I love my carefree life when I was freelancing but reality hits, it’s hard to get payment even when the client is so “nice” and all. Bottom of it, they still refuse to pay up on time. That is the biggest problem I faced during my freelancing days. Other than that, it is hard to find good clients. Some ppl thought that building a website can just be done with a snap of your finger. Thats very stressful. If I have only me to feed, I think freelancing shouldn’t be a bad option. But my rent, bills and stuff are too much to bear alone with that kind of unsteady income…

And so one fine day, I found an ad on The Star Jobs for graphic designer. It is from my favourite cosmetic company. I’ll give you a hint, it starts with an “S”. I went for the interview, they like my work, they want a GD and web person for future plans and in the end I was hired, for a rank that was higher than expected. I was overwhelmed because it’s sort of a dream place to work in ^_^. I had a few offers before that. One of them pays much higher than S company but it is in KL and I hate KL because of it’s terrible traffic and of course, the distance. Furthermore it is not a company that I want to work in.

After a week of work in S company, I know that I can stay there for a long time, unless something really really bad happened or something unexpected happened such as…..erm, better not say. Environment isn’t bad, free parking, product allowance, staff purchase are a few of the plus points. The down points would be the people there or maybe it’s just me. I’m not familiar with working with older people since my 2 prev. companies consisted of very energetic young employees. This one has a mixture of young and old but mostly are more experienced. My dept. only has 2 people, me and another employee who, should be my underling. HOWEVER, I think she thinks that I should be under HER instead. Well I guess in terms of GD, she has more experience than me and I feel that it is a very good place for me to start in. The boss of the dept went for maternity leave and won’t be back until mid-April. Another worker was involved in an accident and could only resume work next week.

Workload wise, it is moderate, much much happier place than NIC, the nearest deadlines are a few days apart, furthest can span up to a month. Blissful. I do feel lost though on the corporate settings cuz I donno how to use the fax-copy-print machine We don’t get free food in the pantry as well T_T but we do get drinks like Milo and Nescafe. Not everyone is friendly over there. We don’t hang out during lunch or anything so the people are not very much close knitted. I hope at least to gain one or two friends there to ease the environmenta. Sigh.

All in all, I think it’s not a bad place. I hope to get my own workstation soon so I can bring in my figurines to accompany me ><. I hope it wasn’t so far from Kinyu’s house cuz I couldn’t find him for lunch anymore T_T.
