i am not sure if this is a piece of good or bad news. to me, it's just scary news.

yesterday, the hr manager talked to me regarding the extension of my temp contract for another two months. she told me that currently, she pays the job agent $10 dollars an hour, and the agent pays me $6.50 an hour. so it would be a win-win situation if she pays me directly instead. tell me, should i be happy to know that the agent is earning easy money? i was quite pleased with the extension of the contract though... until...

....i saw the email from my new boss.(wait a sec, did i mention before that my new boss looks like mr lum(oh and i heard mr lum left nj already), happens to be 35 yrs old this year and is a friendly person but kou3 hua1 hua1.) the hr manager showed it to me and i was like OMG. the list of my new duties look like greek to me. definitely not what i expected, and absolutely no brainless work to be done at all. there were some parts of the email that i dont really understand, so the hr manager told me that my new boss will speak to me later....

so i went back to my seat, having a bad feeling about the coming two months. and then my new boss came and asked me to go to his office. (lets label him as 'math teacher') first thing i discovered through my conversation with him was that he was an ex-NJcian, who studied in the old campus,where NYGH is currently located at. as he explained my jobscope in detail, i totally freaked out.T__T i realised that there is no one in the office who has exactly the same job scope as me. there is no one to ask other than him. and i will be working with him most of the time. ...................
if that's not scary enough, there's more...

he said that he will guide me along. eg. some report or research papers thing... he said "don't worry, after you finish, i will check through it and go through it with you. you can offer suggestions and opinions too." (at this point in time, i thought he sounded like my father, going through my homework with me :X)

he ended the conversation with this.." it should not be a problem for NJcian. btw do you want me to send you some documents to read so that you have some background knowledge?" could i say no to that? of course i had to look interested and say "yes, sure, why not".

i thought this was the end. i left his office. returned to my seat. continued with my brainless work. and then he came to look for me again. this time, he had two books with him. the books looked really boring, especially to claire(who totally dislikes reading books, average number of books she reads a year is 3?) he said "you can read through these two books too. i think they are quite useful. you can pick out some useful tools from the book and share them with me." could i reject his offer? obviously not. but i dont know why he didnt leave the books on my table though. maybe my facial expressions betrayed me.

right after he returned to his office, i immediately packed my belongings and headed for home. no way am i staying in the office for another 1 minute. i dont want him to give me anymore things to read.

the whole story took place between 5.00 to 6.00pm. That must be the worse hour of my working life. a nightmare. He is really a true red NJcian. no doubts about that man. a workaholic, a mugger in the past i presume. i hope my work wouldnt be as scary as it looks. the main problem is that his expectations of me( an NJcian) are too high and i have too little confidence in myself. should i look forward to whatever that lies ahead? i hope so. i hope i can live up to his expectations.. :X

i am going to enjoy my last few days of brainless work.
