VIP

wenlee was complaining to me how bad her VIP experience was so far. haha... can really sense her pek-chek-ness, her supervisor quite cocked up. seemingly keep throwing her works and expecting her to finish in unreasonable time. somemore, things are not in her supposedly jobscope. ke lian... she OT a lot of times liaoz. and UPS seemingly doesn't pay OT.

comparatively, i think i am having a much better life than she is bah. i have some friends in Philips, although they are not working together in the same department as i do. but, breakfast and lunchtime company is good. and although i am doing a lot of miscellaneous work, i do seem certain benefits. i also learnt a few things on my own, through my own observations etc, although certain things are not deemed "useful" because they are not related to my work. but overall, i think understanding how certain operations go about etc, is good. i dun really intend to learn more about DOE, operation research etc in my work. neither do i really expect to apply what i've learnt in nus on VIP work. but i do appreciate looking and seeing how certain things operates in a real world. the procedures, the interaction, the taichi... hahah... quite fun actually.

and the people in philips are overall quite nice. my supervisor oso quite nice. sibei talk cock, and quite friendly and helpful towards an IA student like me. although, i oso get to do a lot of meaningless work, like presentation slides, flowcharts, ms words, excel, scanning etc... but okay lah. i've picked up a few things along here and there too. some new functions, some better ways and methodology with the programs. all these are tangible benefits. and anyway, someone gotta do all these work too. even if i am not the one doing, someone else gotta to. and these are part and parcel of their jobscope too. just that i am around, i can help to do some of their mundane work which requires very little or no brain processing.

another good thing is, if ever i get OT, i can claim. philips gives OT pay... whahahahaha
