First day of training

Guess everyone has their first day story to tell and i suppose i'm the earliest to write it. Thanks to my supervisor for giving me the chance to write. Basically, i did nothing today. I was given no assignment nor projects. Well, maybe there was. Here's my schedule for today...

7am - walked to Admiralty to take MRT
8am - reached Buona Vista MRT station
8.10am - reached Bus Stop to take Shuttle Bus
8.15am - reached Matrix - the building i'm working at
8.30am - went to 5th floor to meet Miss Chua - the admin girl in charge of my placement
8.45am - Miss Caren brought me to 8th floor to meet Miss Aminah - who is an Indian ><
8.50am - stunned because CPU not functioning
10.00am - been sitting down like an idiot for 1 hour ++, still not functioning
11.00am - finally, got a CPU that is functioning. told to reformat it
12.00pm - went for lunch with 'colleague' - Miss Anna from Poland, Dr. Bhanu from India, Mr. Thiru from Singapore
1.00pm - came back to office, continue formatting
2.30pm - done formatting. waiting for technician to install MATLAB
3.00pm - almost doze off
4.00pm - still doing nothing
5.00pm - NOTHING... thus writing blog

So, here's what actually happened on the first day of work. Not as fun as i thought. Wanna hear something that will tickles you off your first day?

I've been wanting to go to the washroom since 11am but i am afraid i might not able to come back into the office if i went out. The doors are equipped with a scanner, which you must scan with you pass to enter. I, on the other hand, havent got myself a card, thanks to the admin who just threw me away. :( I kept my urine to myself until i cant stand it anymore, which is about 3.30pm. I went out, into the toilet. When i was done, i wanted to open the door with the visitor pass, the thing don't work - coz there's no sensor at the card >< - I was stucked in the toilet and pantry. At this moment, i went to every exit i can find, hoping to see any human being with the card. Guess who i saw? A janitor >< I asked the janitor for help and she opened the door for me. That's how i came back in. So, that's basically what happened on the first day which i hope do not serve as a preview to what might happen in future. To the rest of my friends, please do share what happened on your first day. Till then..Nano Nano~~
