Okay, so my stint at Aviva ended today (technically it was yesterday). Feeling a little sentimental even though I was waiting for this day for so long already. Where else can you get a workplace where the perm staff dont treat temps as though they are transparent? Where else can you get to meet other temps who are willing to go crazy together with you? I admit that although the work is really boring/learn nothing much and all, it's a really good working environment. I was totally shocked when I saw this package on my desk when I returned from lunch and realised that it was a gift from the policy servicing department, with this special note designed by dear Agnes. (: Like woah why the sudden generosity. Not that they were not nice usually but I really didn't expect them to get Jiaying and I gifts. Plus a kinder bueno from Shirley, a wrapped gift from Hamidah, cards from Sandy and Jiaying and Thing Thing, the damn nice (and ex!) yoghurt treat from Stacy and the Aviva letter from Stacy, Vanessa, Yijie! I really felt like crying when I saw all those things but I didnt. I guess I was too tired after going to bed at 2 am in the morning for three nights straight. The 6 of us went around giving our homemade cookies and suddenly everyone wanted to talk to us. I really appreciate all their best wishes and luck for this Friday :S but eh sorry guys, I cant promise I will message you my results. It was a good experience and I have felt really at home wth everybody these 3 months. Will probably miss going crazy with the other temps, walking over to Hamidah, Sandy and Rosalind's desks to ask for work, getting Meiyee to sign my timesheet, borrowing scissors and sharperner from Hui Thing and asking the toilet cleaner whether I can use the toilet every lunch, being amazed everytime we talked to Mei May and Rong Rong coz they dont behave like the manager and executive but more like people our age. I will miss the Aviva tag hanging around my neck too. :/
Waraku with the temps was great too. :) Will be better if we could spend more time outside instead of coming home so early. But Im sure we will meet again. Whether as colleagues or as friends. (: It's a journey well travelled.
