Every Mile Counts

After 3 weeks of working i actually applied sick leave yesterday. It was a half day sick leave. My head was spinning so i left for home during lunch time. Instead of going home directly i headed out to look for KW for lunch. Sick also have to have lunch right?

Before getting a sick leave, i asked the accountant in Sydney if i am entitle to have sick leave. When he told me that i was only a casual in the company i was kind of shocked because from what i told i was working as a full time worker. In the end, he asked the administrator in Sydney as she used to have the same situation as i am so he called me back and told me i was entitle to it.

I also realized in this situation, is that i never got an offer letter or anything from the company. That was the reason why i did not know if im entitled to any leaves or anything that benefits me. This morning when i came to work i clarify it with my operation manager and asked what is my actual employment. I did get to get myself an answer which is a full time office administrator. But what i really want they did not agree with it. sigh...

Now i only have to wait for the operation manager to do the offer letter for me. This whole morning was crazy and i did not even have time to stop for a drink. After lunch time i was more free till now. After work today, i'll be going to gym classes. I've missed the classes for 2 weeks now so i can't afford to miss it again. I need to exercise because i have been eating too much this few weeks as the weather is getting too cold. But this is what i love about WINTER!!!

Working life seems to busy when your boss is in the office and practically boring when he's out for travelling. When i first start for the first two weeks my boss was away to China and UK so i was just learning the basics and surfing online with nothing to do but just to chat with friends through MSN, listening to music and playing with Facebook (this is how bored i get ok!).

Since my boss was back last Monday i have been pretty busy doing things for him and time really passed by very fast cos by the time i finish my work, its time to go home. I love it this way more because I won't be wasting my time to think what i need to do to make my time pass by a bit faster. I did he's expenses, booking his airticket to Sydney, making reservation and typing letters for him. He's such a nice boss to have rather than working for the operation manager whose always fussy and demand more. But then my boss will be going to Sydney tomorrow for a day trip. I wonder how i should pass my time tomorrow. hmmm.... So im leaving some of my work for tomorrow. hehe...

Life hasn't been happening at all. Maybe because im now working so by the time im back home its almost sleeping time. OMG!!! I need social life!!! Anyway, i might be meeting up with some of my uni friends this weekend and will be attending Amelia's 21st birthday next week. Hopefully i will be getting back some of my social life.

It's a wet wet day today! I went to work with wet shoe and wet trousers. Its been raining none stop since last night till now. But then it also rained last 4 days ago. So basically i am beginning to hate the rain.


I need to be positive in thinking when it rains for so many days because it helps to feel the dam in Brisbane. If not soon we can't take bath anymore. The dam in Brisbane is so try that each one of us have to limit ourselves to 4 minutes bath. I never really care though because our tap in the bathroom is leaking and the landlord never even bother ask a plumber to come.


But in the morning i need to limit myself in taking too long in the bathroom as there are 3 other people who wants to use the hot water. I am actually successful in it. I used to take shower very fast. Since now it is winter i have to taken longer bath to make myself hot.


I just hope that this rain will stop by tomorrow so that i won't be wet on the way to work again. Maybe i am asking too much i should have said don't rain when i am on the way to work and also when i am going home. But Wednesday don't rain because i need to view 2 properties. I will be moving out mid of July and most probably to city. It's expensive but if we stay too far from our work place we will be wasting to buy ticket for our transportation. So hopefully I'll find a place soon.

About my new job, its still ok. I have really good colleagues and they are all very helpful. But this is my only 3rd day of working so there's nothing much to talk. Maybe after a week i'll blog about my job.
