I've yet to see my contract but I've been working at my new company for 3 days now (4 if u consider the half day shoot today as well).
The initial ultra excitement is now gradually giving way to a little apprehension... Somehow I've this irking feeling that it might turn out to be another O*hre experience. I was super elated to get the job in the latter initially and worked my guts out and gave my all, boss liked me and I loved my fellow colleagues. Then I started to get miserable due to the unreasonable work demands and revolted against the disregards for employees' morale & welfare. Which was probably what cost me my cert for outstanding internship performance in the end. I still love my colleagues of those months but most of us are not there anymore. All away at happier places. And I vow never to go back to that company again.
Over here, everything is still pretty ok so far. Still within my tolerable range even though things could get a little eccentric at times. And I must say I'm not very used to working as a full-timer as yet. Kept being called upon to help out in other stuff and I'm not able to start work on the production stuff cos not pre-prod yet. I'm supposed to work on the marketing of another film (that's to be launched in a couple of months time) with Boss A, but am unable to do so cos the people I'm supposed to be working with are all too busy with other things. Hopefully we can have a proper meeting on Mon. I hate this aimless waiting...
Didnt have a very good first impression of the movie's director the other night. Didnt even talk much, much less start work together already machiam I 得罪 him. Did a pick up shoot for a promotional MV for the movie today and found out it was because he had some bad experiences with some idiots from my Uni previously. And he boldly admitted he is the kind of narrow-minded bigot who stereotypes everyone based on the experience with a few. KNS... NTU got how many thousands students??? You dare claim to have seen "so many NTU students" to anyhow pass judgement on us??? It's precisely because of prejudiced and self-centered people like that that we have so much unnecessary conflicts in the society.
Anyway, I've made known that whoever those idiots are, they do not represent the entire NTU population and I'm definitely not a pushover. Interaction between the 2 of us was still pretty edgy and spiteful, especially since we are both kind of ti ki... But I think we sort of made peace towards the end ba... Don't really feel the hostile vibes anymore though I think I'll probably gota keep my stock of sarcastic retorts on standby lest he wana start a war with me again. Other then that, I think we should all be able to get on fine la. I'm very 公私分明. As long as we all remain professional towards our tasks, all those petty squabbles can be left till the after-work-kopitiam sessions.
Boss V might be getting another van since I can drive. Yeah~~~~ Got proper production van!!! Lidat won't have to use the big coffin-like Traffic, especially since it was meant for another purpose. Talking about that van, we kind of made a mess of its mats after using it for shoot today... sand and mud and all... Wonder if the peeps got clean the mats after unloading the equipment just now. Abo I better clear the evidence tml before we're found out...
Quite a few things to do tomorrow. Must make sure I don't leave office past 8pm again. Damn sianz to keep staying back so late... especially when there doesn't seem to be anything significant going on. Haiz... but everyday is still unpredictable one lah.. scully tml last min meeting again =p I hope they decide the next shoot date soon... Wana book my bike lessons oso cannot =<
