picking up the pieces

hurray! today was the last day of work. i had a different job, for a change. i was the clicker, whereby i am supposed to keep track of the number of people entering the exhibition area via one of the gates, using a small device. the good thing about this job would be that you get to sit on the chair all day long and stare/stone/sms as long as you keep your eyes on the gate. but the bad thing is that you can slack and play all you want, provided that you will not fall asleep. the job was quite a mental torture - you sit and click and click and click for hours and it can be quite a bore.

this 4-day job was another eye-opener for me. got to know a couple of new faces, including this guy who was in charge of the sound system. he is very nice, cause he kept offering us tidbits when we were working hard. lol. on top of that, he left me this message before he left - work smart, and not, work hard. how true. i must say i indeed work hard. even though i might not be the most hardworking, but i will still fulfill my duties and perform the tasks that were assigned to me. i will try my very best not to slack. self-responsibility i guess. but this doesnt necesaary means it is good okay. if you can take a shorter route to perform the task, why bother taking the longer route? both routes will eventually achieved the same level of performance what. and working hard alone cant really get you anywhere. you have to work smart - learn how to tackle and solve the different problems, learn how to fight off problems, learn how to come up with new ideas and etc. then you will be able to assure yourself of a secure place. random thinking again.

tml shall be my day at home. my legs and fingers need ample rest. time to sleep.
