What is working life?

Working life just started more than a week ago. However, I realised that I was not as excited or happy as I expect I would be. I could not recall any moment that really made me smile sincerely or even that made my day perfect.

Today, my anger just blast through my brain and lost its control. Oh wells, as people who know me well enough will know I am a bad tempered person. Actually, I realised that I have better temper in Canberra, but it escalated after I came back. I don't know what's the reason behind but I will try my best to be a patient person!!

I just get to know where my attachment will be for July. It is in Selayang, oh god knows where the heck is Selayang!! I heard it is out of KL!! hurray, that is how my company arrange people for attachment!! Sending a person from Kuching who knows about nothing in KL (except for how to get to work and the way home) to go to outskirts of KL and arrange all other people to go somewhere nearby. 'Thanks for that!!!' The person in charge said he had no choice to put me there!! Nothing can be done to improve the situation!! O.O

The most amusing moment is when he shared the previous batch experiences in attachment. He was telling us how bad one of their team mate had to go to Klang from XXX, another one had to rent a temporary place just to do attachment, bla bla bla. Holy crap, why am I in a company that wants DE-provements rather than IM-provements!! Why compare to the worst while there is a chance we can make things better? Maybe I am at the wrong place at the wrong time!!  

I have a feeling that my company is bias towards people from the other side of the country (as in Sabah and Sarawak because they are always the ones that are regarded as far behind from development, ie, rural area), be it at the senior management level or even junior level. Let me share a bit of my experience from the assessment centre that leads me to the thought that maybe my company is 'looking down' at rural areas. One of the panel judges actually keep repeating that rural areas are inaccessible by internet and they could not afford pricey and classy stuffs, thus ask how we should curb the problems. Of course, I did not give them a second chance to continue to humiliate the people from rural areas that I tell them 'DON'T LOOK DOWN ON PEOPLE FROM RURAL AREAS'.

My friend told me once that when he went on a road trip in Sarawak, there are free wi-fi in a lot of the small villages. Not even in KL, we have free wi-fi, so shut up!! Stop that negative thinking about people from rural areas!! Although after the debate with the panel team, they did clarify that they have no intention to look down on people from rural areas and to prove that, they said they have a lot of branches in Sabah. The truth is actually, they merge with a company from Sabah, that's why they have such big amount of branches in Sabah but there are only 4 branches in the whole Sarawak!! Who is treating me as an idiot or a 3 years old kid now??!!

The other thing was what happened today!! A girl who comes from Bintulu (if I have not mistaken) was assigned to a branch which requires her to drive pass 2 toll stations (imagine how far it can be) and there was a branch nearby where she is staying. So, both of us from the Borneo were the only one that got such crappy attachments!! What does this show? Is this a coincidence? We are the 'lucky' ones that receive the rotten eggs in midst of 29 other good eggs!! What is the probability in getting one out of 29?  Think carefully!! People here is not as simple as you think they are!! A lesson learnt within 2 weeks!!

Basically, life sucks at the moment!!
