Note One: Newbie

Day One

Remember about the internship program I applied at my dad's office? So yeah, thank God I got it woohoo! Now I'm working at BCA company, from Mon to Fri, 8 to 5 like a real employee.

It's on Public Relation, the aspect I'm trained. I know, I know it's not related to my major but for your information, on that aspect there is an internal division that's focusing on internal advertising like annual report, seasonal greetings and company profile. So those are the things I'm trying to learn.

Today, was my first day. Nervous at the beginning, of course, but things went a little more relaxed time by time. I was instructed to manage the company daily clipping and upload it online. It took about three hours.

But it wasn't as smooth as I thought. Well, actually, it was smooth. Honestly, TOO smooth. After lunch break, I got nothing to do. Totally stayed put, doing nothing. The bosses were too busy with their own things. Once a while I checked the division's email but, yea well, overall I was untouched.

Thank goodness my co-workers are entertaining. They're much much older than me yes, but they're just so funny. And as a newbie, some silly guys were teasing me. Not some, only this one guy. He's so finicky in a funny way. So yeah, although I had a rough -well, flawless, actually- start, they helped me went through it.

One more thing, this emptiness really drove me crazy. I thought I was too green to be trusted to do something. But apparently, it turned out that first timers are common with jobless situation. Even my dad, on his first six month working, was doing the same; vacant most of the time.

So that's my roller-coaster first day
Wish me luck for the remaining four days and five weeks.
Seriously, I'm actually interested and psyched in doing this.
Just if I got things to do


P.S. : Don't be panicked. There will only be four or five notes about my internship journey. I have no time to record each day, anyway.
