the nomadic neophyte

i still feel like i’m back in my ojt days in college, which isn’t that long ago by the way…

adjusting to a new environment, to a new myriad of people with different personalities… i can barely recall their names, i guess i’m just bad with names… still, they are a happy bunch. everyone has been really helpful and made me feel at ease, approachable even. well, at least the ones i approach…

will i be able to miss them? well, i guess not… haha! sad to say, i haven’t really bonded with them, well, except for Paul, a fellow neophyte. he likes to tease me with loads of forms with attachments whenever it is near five in the afternoon… at this point, i don’t like doing OT but he insists on having me do it… coz he has done several OT already… nyarr!!! haha!!! but i never did OT… hehe! nevertheless, they have been really kind to me.

i guess my days as a nomadic neophyte will soon come to an end… the newspaper will definitely miss me coz i’m the only one who takes time to read it from cover to cover, while i await where i will be assigned yet again… you see, i occupy a new and different cubicle everyday… the longest cubicle stay i had was two days… imagine that! the restroom will miss me too! coz i often visit it whenever i am assigned in a zero degree temperature cubicle… i feel hypothermia sinking in… and i need to pee often! haha! i will for sure miss the escalator that operates only on monday mornings! at least i got to use it twice! haha! i still am hating stairs/staircases… but i guess, it is a good form of exercise coz i always have my butt glued to the chair during office hours…

tomorrow, i will no longer be a nomadic neophyte… but a hungry trainee… hungry for food and information! i hope my instructors are great teachers… i heard some of them are really strict! goodness! i am wishing myself the best of luck! 

adieu my lil nook…

i’ll finally say au revoir to my own little nook… where i find solace and freedom… apart from all the work at the mezzanine… i’ll say goodbye…

as i drank the last drops of my watery juice, i don’t know why but i like buying my lunch at the same place… i took a final glance at this silver table… you have been good to me… you were always free whenever i come to you during lunch, it is as if you were always reserving this place for me… weird… but i’d like to think that it is so…  i have always come to you for the past two weeks or so, and i couldn’t be grateful enough… thank you so much!

so now, i’ll extend my stay for a few more minutes and do my blogging the old-fashioned way — the pen and paper way.

i hope i get to have my own nook/special place in the training area… where i will be shipped out tomorrow. i’ll wish myself luck and hope i’ll do well in my two-month long training…

so, au revoir my nook… i’ll see you again… i hope… you have served me well… i am forever grateful.

yeah, yeah… it must be weird having myself write an entry about my own lil nook, but i consider this an ode to my special place… i have grown to love my nook and i’ll miss it for sure… it’s a bit sad…
