what's left unsaid in the corporate world, you better make clear?

i felt so cheated just now after realising that my i am being paid x1 for all the OT hours i have put in! what the heck. so there i was while monotonously keying in data, i indulge in my own thoughts, the next best thing to do rather than concentrating fully on the work i have at hand which felt like counting sheeps.

i was making some lists, like reasons why this job is unsatisfying/ satisfying:
1) first of all basics, what i do in the job, is plainly monotonous.
2) but i had fun kaypoh-ing about the details of people i do not know such as names of some people (i kwnot hat is mean, but seeing people with unusual name is interesting isn't it so? and the ogling at some people's annual income and place where they lived in)
3) trying to read/decipher a certain people's handwriting is like what the heck. especially a certain group of people i find.
4) but reading handwriting of people could be quite fun, cause when you see how they write, you can laugh at them.
5) except that you get questioned by the head of dept on why the heck are you laughing about. talk about freedom of being happy.
6) we aren't allowed to talk officially, especially when the head is around. hence everyone works really efficiently.
7) but that means i get to do my stuff, no one disturbs me much, so i'll just indulge in my hidden thoughts and smile like an idiot or frown like some grumpy maid at random times. they may just think i am crazy or frowning upon messy handwritings.
8) i worked so hard, they don't even count the minutes, they either round up (which i have never seen) or round down your working hours. which is like so stingy.
9) the boss treats us bubble tea twice in a week once.
10) OT is screwed up there, and the pay just sucks. its more of the recruiting agency's fault! because they do not clearly state everything. what the hell. firstly its the CPF disappointment, we only got to find out much later from other people that we will be getting much lesser take home pay. and now OT, we have to work another bloody 3 hours first to get OT rate. isn't this like wahlao eh. work so hard for nothing. no satisfaction for working past the hours you are supposed to put in. like an idiot i am. no wonder everyone looked so gloomy and sian when they are asked to OT, and i there was like okay okay! thinking of the extra extra i am going to ear which i did not. oh wells.
11) at least i am earning some money for a simple minded skill job. :(
12) well, i activated the smoke detector in the office which sets off the fire alarm. definitely not going to be doing that when i am an official working adult.
12) i don't like the someone who sits at my left hand side. i dread it when she comes. she has smelly foot. seriously, she should just keep her feet in her shoes.
13) they are nice people nevertheless.
14) except the head, she talks like a duck, loud and rough, and do not really give clear instructions. (not trying to say my english is really fantastic.. but hers is.. the grammar sometimes, is just wrong.) but i now know she's still kinda pretty nice..
15) but to say they are friendly is an understatement, mostly, we are just temp staff, so they (the perm staff there) would keep getting-to-know one another especially with people from the other dept to the bare min such that we only smile in acknowledgment. anyways we do not even have much interaction during work as talking during work as you know is not encouraged, so the only time is lunch, where you could listen to all the office gossips in the pantry.
16) my energy level is like a minimum curve. lol.
17) oh! i nearly forgot, food nearby is very cheap! $2.20 only for economical rice with 4 ingredients. much more, its good too and there are a wide variety to choose from! and its from those kind of older hawkers which we hardly see nowadays.
18) but i have bringing my own lucnh box to work, had fun preparing them in the morning, and showing them off to the aunites who always seemed surprised that i could cook. lol.
19) and also! i do not have to wake up early for work! it starts eqarliest at 10am, usually 11pm. and there are sometimes shift where i start work at 1pm. nice isn't it?
20) the aunties are making fun of me, trying to match me up? lollol.

yeah yeah, i can't actually remember what i have thought of earlier, but this is roughly what i thought of and more rubbish added to it. haha. so that is more or less how my office people
