Of moviestars and the drain.

Week Three of Mattel.

Boss didn't come back yet. Yup, on holiday. So we slaved on without him. Things were quite uneventful, with the most of the craziness coming from the fact that i might have misplaced some documents, which luckily, weren't misplaced, just merely not in my hands at the moment. They were found K?!


And my second time handling staff sales. Yup, deadline's on the 2nd of the next month. Usually have it at the mid and ending of each month. Since it's our daddy's bday this end of the month, which we happily will celebrate, so the deadline got pushed to next month. I haven't used up my quota for the month yet, apparently, it can be pushed back. And no mus, i'm not buying barbies for you, unless you pay me to. =P


So yea lo. Almost one month gone, five more to go. I have a sneaky feeling that it will finish super fast. Some days seem longer than most, but it'll go away quick enough. And *fingers crossed* that i secure a long term career before i grad next year. Yup, though i have finished my studies, graduation date is still long way to go. Hahahaha.


Anyways, Mie is super impressed with how the Mattel staff treats their interns. Which is true la. The other day, the finance intern left cause ended d his time, and the head of finance dept gave the head of licencensing dept money to belanja all of us makan. Lol. Conversation at the elevator:

Richard, where you going? Going makan ar?

Yup, you guys going makan also?

M*** leaving today, come, join us.

*Looks around, then take out wallet, pitiful amount in it*

*laughs* No money la, have to go bank take.

Never mind. Come only. Licensing paying.

And half the office went makan. For two hours. At some very fancy Dim Sum restaurant. hahahaha. Basically everyone from each dept was represented la. Sales, finance, logistics, licensing. So nothing got done while we were out eating. Which there wasn't much to be done anyway considering that it's Friday. Friday like really no work wan wo. No wonder half days twice a month.


Crazy wan really. When i arrived, i got treated to a very nice japanese lunch. Super crazy expensive wan k? Rm300 for 4 people. Shit. Then now when M*** (i can't say his name) left, we all got treated to such nice lunch also. Wonder what i will get when i leave. Char Kuey Teow? I can only hope:)


Then next week, almost the entire sales team going to HK. I don't know if it's a conference, or some toy convention, but it's for five days, tickets paid for and you get my monthly salary for allowance. Which is awesome. Apparently, every year also the sales team have to travel here there wan. Nice ar, being in sales. ( =

Filing here in the office is crazy. Invoices and delivery orders and purchase orders have to be filled. Which roughly translate to 1 and a half boxes of staples gone in three weeks. Lol. I have never used so many staples in that short span since i learnt that you can shoot the staples right out of the stapler and started to shoot everyone. Hahaha. Bloody lots of staples k?


I cannot stress enough just how nice the people are here! I feel that i'll be growing super complacent and get lazy and refuse to improve myself. Not to fear! Next year i shall embark on my CFA adventure. Wish me luck. Need to save up some dough first though.


So be good people. And Happy merdeka to each and everyone of you:)


Cheers!
