LIFE!

I am stealing a few minutes of my life to write this….time slips by so damm fast, especially when your busy. I’ll convey my working life experience to you peeps…

It has been 2 months plus..coming 3 months, I’ve been working already. Achievement-wise, I’m sorta a certified ISM Auditor, had the offshore trainings, did some ISM stuff for the company, preparing certification matrix, attending HSE MS and Operation Meetings etc etc. The real test is NOW, out of nowhere, I found myself being the focal point for a vessel (to-be-chartered) to shell.  Throughout that, I begin to see the attitude of fellow colleagues, some just find excuses when you ask them to do stuff, and BEING “LESLEY”, I had a hard time convincing them…more likely I’m slap with sarcastic remarks…one of which “ I dunno how to do…you  so clever, you go do lar” Btw…that’s just one of ‘em.

Not only must you deal with your colleague…but also your boss(ES), imagine yourself having 3 boss(ES), and each of them just THiNK your doing only one of their jobs? Hahha..can’t they see I am doing 3 different jobs? LOL…..Those 3 jobs are further split into 3-4 parts, accumulating to 12 ITEMS!!

Hmm….I’m illustrating it as simple as I can already, ahha..so, plz understand!!!! Working life (for me, right now) is very very hectic. I felt I have no life ..suDDENLy. It’s a scarry feeling I tell ya…even reading/watching a movie also need to rush.

For the past 2-3 days, been working up to 930 pm..sigh, sigh…its another job, known as PMS (I knw what

ur

thinking), but

ur

wrong, its not Pre-Menstrual-Syndrome, it’s the PLANNED MAITENANCE SYSTEM…tedious work..really, gotta check and correct 4 logbooks(for each ship(s), which is subdivided into months)…did I forget to mention deciphering handwriting as well? End of the day….you’ll find urself spinning,

ur

fingers cramp due to intense page flippin…the worries that lingers whether things tomorz will be done…the list continues….

Yeah, I am complaing..a lottt. Coz I’m practically stuff up. The only solace I can find in this job is experience..with a price though. I’m sick throughout working, being in and out(to vessel, wearing thick PPEs) of the air-con room (wet sweat becomes dry sweat..get wot I mean?) I’ve begin developing chronic coughs..sigh, waS heal…and now it(S) back…

Tell me…when will this end?
