Day 103: 67.5%

That's my score for the confirmation test. The funny thing is that only 10 questions were about my job. 70 more questions were about stuff that is not even in my job scope. So I spend 3 hours talking to the experts in the field. So basically this test is not to show how competent you are. But to show if you can mix with whole company. Which I can... Awesome. So now I'm already confirm what will be the next move?

Day 102: Nothing happened

Seriously... Nothing did. I didn't have actual work. Wonder what I am going to do today

Day 101: Interesting news in the morning

Got to the office today. After exchanging pleasantries with the HR manager. She told me that to remind her for my confirmation letter. It's finally time. But to get my confirmation on I need to sit for a test... Sigh... Nothing is easy anymore.

The Intern


Man. If I was 70 and look as cool as Robert DeNiro. I will say life is not that bad. The Intern does have it's ups and downs. There are too many characters and too many arcs which make us thinking that should have just skip the story arc and make the movie 2 hours about DeNiro and Hathaway. Both of them have good chemistry together. We can see is not going to be a romcom that we are use too since the age gap is damn huge. More screen time was given to DeNiro since the movie is about the intern not the boss. But there were some scene with Hathaway that she stole. Plus in the IT age every company is trying to emulate Google. Free shirts and all hippy out there... Overall fun date movie that have a satisfying ending. I can say that the ending even is satisfying it just ended abruptly which sucks... But probably they drag it too long enough.

5/5

Day 98: Good Job for me.

Yesterday was too tired to post so before going to work today let me tell how my day went. Yesterday was the last the day to finish up the tender. Unlike my previous work with another client manager, this one requires a  little more of me doing most of the work. Which I really don't mine since I really enjoy the work. After printing 1200 pages of reports. The tedious process of punching holes in each piece of paper so it would fit the binders. That one took a good one hour of my life. I heard my boss was talking in mandarin about me. Probably something good.. Who knows. anyway, the CEO was there also and was looking at me doing my work. So.. yay. I was noticed.... I wonder what I am going to do today since I've nothing on my workload already.
