Working Life

After graduation, i went back to the company where i were internship in. Working life is hard, working more than 12 hours a day, some of the days have to overnight because of all those rushing work. For a designer like me in the company started at 10 and finish don't know time.

Last week i had work more then 100hours in the office from sunday until sunday midnight. overnight in office for maximum two nights non-stop for two times, it was very tiring indeed. There are stressful yet tiring time
and there are also joyful and relaxing time in the office too. Such as,drink beer in the office, playing PS2 in the office while relaxing. Boss also join in to drink and play too. That's was enjoying, but i had been facing around 20 hours a day in front of the computer. Isn't it stressful.

Further more i have to think about the animation, the design, all creative part and have to change all those for client's needs. Some clients are easy to please, but some of the client are very very hectic. I just met one of the client which gave us the first piece for us to do, then revised and revised again until is final then they said they want the second piece. All the hard work that we done went down the drain just like that and have to start all over again. That kind of feeling making me very pissed. Because we had been overnight in the office just to finish the work that they gave then revised and revised and end up they want the second piece instand of the first one.

We are not machines, IF we are machines, we have to shutdown or restart because machines can be hot and also slow down when working long hours. Maybe Power machine won't but we are not power machines. And we are not even machines. They think that the video were in library, is already in presents, just drag out and is final art. Clients are too smart to be smart.

Like last Sunday, working from Saturday until Sunday then going for my friend's birthday dinner then went back to office to continue finishing work. My office is in Bandar Damansara Perdana, and my friend's birthday dinner was in Sri Petaling. You all will be wondering about, why i must attend my friend's birthday dinner yet is so far from Damansara? Because is a 21st Birthday, i won't missed it although how far is it, is better to be late than not attend at all. Or another reason is, i don't know the way so i can't come.

Anyway, Happy Belated Birthday, Wen Ching, Camilia, Christopher, Yi-hua and Pui Leng which falls on 9, 14 and 15 January. May your wishes come true.

Back to topic, this is how my working life goes. So, if anyone want to call me out for movies or anything, please infrom me earlier so i can arrange my time.

And another thing, where is hell is my graduation night? they said this year will fall in April. Hopefully is not falling on my birthday. Once started working life like mine, you'll miss your all your friends, even though most you were not close to.
