Wasting My Life Away

Tuesday, November 28, 2006

The time now is 7.30pm and I am still in the office. I am praying that I can go home at 8.00pm. I have not left the office before 9.00pm since last week and I predict this situation will go on for the next 2 months.

I don't mind if it's because I have work to do.

The thing is, I don't have any work at all! My job right for the next two months is to print out logs that my India counterparts complete and bring them to MCO. (MCO stands for Master Control. Their duty is to make sure the logs go on air correctly.) In other words, I am the fedex for India and MCO. That's all.

Let me show you a typical day at work for me:

10.30am:
Reach office. Even though my official working hour is from 9.00am to 6.00pm.

10.30am-12.00pm:
Talk to colleagues, play computer games, read, watch TV. Yes, I have a TV at my desk.

12.00pm-1.00pm:
Lunch.

1.00pm-6.00pm:
Talk to colleagues, play computer games, read, watch TV.

6.00pm-indefinite:
Play computer games, read, watch TV. When my Indian colleagues finally decide to complete their logs, I print it out and bring it to MCO then I go home.

I wonder why such a big company as the one I am working in is willing to spend money on me so that I can be a deliveryman. Surely there is a more efficient way of doing things.
