I slam my body to my single bed, letting the kinetic force drop me quite harshly on it. Staring at the ceiling blankly and trying to recall everything that happened today.
Nothing much happened actually. Other than printing, scanning and faxing some documents, there's nothing much to think about.
Then, I remembered my first day of work in this company. Where I got so lucky I think I've used my whole year luck in one day.
First, I woke up late the morning, almost missed my golden opportunity that I worked hard to get for an interview at Crowdest. I got there just in time. If I did late for a second, I might missed my name being called.
And what makes it even better is that I was accepted regardless I'm stuttering like a five year old kid who just learned how to talk when they started to ask me about ways to overcome financial problems. How am I suppose to think when they're all looking at me like I'm some kind of suspect under interrogation?
Yes, I am a business major student but I didn't know they'll shoot me with those kind of question. My nervousness didn't help at all. I just blurted out whatever that crossed my mind.
I would be laughing like hell if I were the interviewer but luckily, they all are professionals so they merely shrug it off.
Second, I thought I was rejected based on my interview session quality but no. I was accepted with immediate service to the company. It's strange but maybe that's how prestigious companies system.
Maybe I'm in trial. They'll judge me on my work quality and then maybe they'll kick me if I didn't meet their expectation. But so far, I think I've done my best and did everything that they told me to do.
I was positioned in Highden Department. It consists of Analysis team and Support team. I'm suppose to be changing team every week and this week I started with the Analysis.
Since Crowdest have so many businesses and branches, it was split into multiple departments so they can monitor everything easily and efficiently. For different region and business is in different floor in the skyscraper building of Crowdest.
You can tell the founder of this company is down for real business at this point. Even the arrangement of departments is well organized. I don't want to do anything near the upper rank. I'm just finishing my internship and I'm getting the hell out of here.
Highden Department is in charge for a wine brand in South region so out of 30th floor, I'm in 9th floor. They said the top 28th floor is where the upper ranks' office so thankfully, 9 and 28 is a pretty big gap. Plus, they often use a specialize elevator so it went straight up with no interruption of stopping on at the downside of the building.
So, chances of bumping into any of the elites was assured to 99.9% negative.
Today is officially my one week of working there. Like any other day, I'm doing some more printing and passing coffees to the employees during meeting. Don't get me wrong, I liked it there. They're all nice to me.
They asked me about my well being from time to time. Sometimes bought me lunch since I'm an intern so I should save up my money for future they said. Everything was great.
But I want to experience something more, related to my business course to be exact. I want to be able to use what I've learned in class in real working situation.
I know it would be tricky and risky to the company. That's why most interns was given classic tasks like mine. Simple and easy for good grade with comment "Well mannered. Good job!"
If possible, I want to walk out with experience or unlock some skills I might not know I had so my six months there won't be a waste. I'll be a printing expert if I keep doing this till the end.
I've asked some of the employees there. Mrs Green once told me that she'll try to give me something to do other than my current tasks. It's been three days since and I'm still waiting.
I sigh while rolling my body to the other side of my bed. Don't care about my sweat and rain drench shirt making the bed sheet wet.
I'm tired. No, not from work but my walk home. I don't have the energy to cook for dinner. I'm planning to grab something quick at the convenient store near the train station but thanks to my excellent memory, I forgot to bring umbrella when it's rainy season.
Suddenly, I missed mom. It's been seven days without mom, since I moved to an apartment near my internship company. Now I live alone for six months ahead. It's only week one and I'm already homesick.
I'm not a spoiled child. I lived in college dorm during campus and I enjoyed it. But there's these times when you're hungry, cold and alone made you missed your so called home.
I search for my phone in my slack pocket and pull it out. It won't turn on, made me sigh for millionth times already today.
"Long lasting battery, huh?"
I toss it aside, somewhere beside me then curl myself into a ball. Still wearing my wet clothes, ties and socks with wet bed sheet.
Now is not the time to worry of getting sick or hungry. I simply ignore the angry growling sound my stomach made and drift into a dreamless sleep.
