Been for almost a week since I first started work in the civil service. Over the past few days, I've been adapting well, love everything over there, the environment, the culture and my colleagues. They are just so overwhelmingly friendly, like this morning, my manager offered to treat me for breakfast, but declined as I had a heavy breakfast before work. Yet in the end, she got me a cup of tea from Coffee Beans and Tea Leaf.
Like I mentioned, I am comfortable with the working culture over there, in fact, I love it! It's a work hard and play hard environment and free from office politics. For example, I was told that they're fine with me taking lunch break for more than an hour.
Technically speaking, you'll never be late for work. They have this flexi hour scheme which allows employees to come for work anytime within the acceptable limit and you can go off as long as you perform the hours of work you are suppose to.
Oh, I was praised by my immediate supervisor and manager for a job well done for one of my project. I was on cloud nine after that.
And there this coffee maker machine that dispense milo powder mix, amuse myself every morning making a cup of milo. Rather childish, yea?
Knocked off early today after attending a seminar with my manager and colleagues at The Treasury, a short walk from my office, City Hall. Interesting seminar, topics range from intellectual property, copyright law, property management and balancing work and personal life.
Lunch is also another interesting period of the day. Went food hunting with Bevan and Yasmeen for the past few days. We even arrange thru email, that's how eager we look forward to having lunch together.
Enjoying my internship so much.
