interning at mot week 1/8

Today marks the end of my first week in MOT. It wasn't to long ago when lily took me around the office on my first day of work, introducing me to colleagues from different departments who probably identify me as yet another intern and me wondering if i am ever going to bother remembering all their names, to the wondrous view on the 33rd floor of psa building, and to the really low foosball table which has been my only source of entertainment in the office and a dull backache as well.

Over time i have gotten used to the unfamiliarity of the surroundings. Its sad being the only intern and hearing stories of others in mha or mom having bunches of interns together, but in a way i m forced to learn and be resourceful on the job myself; my jobscope is not a multi-player project based kinda thing but i work fairly independently. drafting some internal comms strategy and tasked to see it through the weeks in mot might be a small task compared to the macro-ness of what most others are doing, but i am secretly glad i am not making coffee or shredding paper (lol)

Its one week on and I havent started fb-ing or done casual surfing at work. i am desks and desks away from anyone who seems like a fb user and its not the type of question you would ask anyway, you watch and learn. And i am kinda sitting beside a T junction where people just mill or walk past every other minute, so might as well get that thought off my mind, not that i am getting withdrawl symptoms anyway.


fyi, I wouldnt consider asiaone as casual surfing.
