it's almost 2 mth since i started work. & nw, i'm felt i'm dump w mess again like d time when i started my 1st perm job. however, it's much diff than last time. at least thr is no on-going purchasin, servicin, etc to track & at least d mess ain't tt much cos it was a relatively much newer lab than now.
well, i sort of concluded tt actually i prefer to work in a new lab, startin off everything afresh & keepin clear record of everything esp since i'd got d template to track d purchasin & could spend much lesser time to source rather than flip thru d piles of doc manually like searchin needles in d sea. if not possible, at least work in a much newer lab ba. w 4 yrs of workin experiences w d 1st yr tryin to settle & get all d records, i felt tt subsequent yrs seemed to b much easier.
durin my 4 yrs break for studies, i oso continued doin diff part time. & oso in d purchasin dept too. i really don understand y ppl can jus pat their backside & leave a big mess for d next person. esp w missin records or info. hw do they expect ppl to source out? & nw, i felt d mess pilin on me.
anw, 1 question, hw to differentiate btw friends/colleagues?
yes. i'm in a place tt i'm familiar w. i noe d prof for more than 8 yrs. i prep d prac for d prof for 4 yrs, i did my attachment in his lab more than a yr ago, i did my FYP thr & nw i cont'd workin in his lab. i noe most of d ppl well & we're closed. so i bet we're friends & i wished to believe so. but i'm not so sure now. will a friend leave a mess for his/her friends? or is it cos of d age gap? or differences in d seriousness lvl? i rmbr i updated everything properly before leaving for my studies last time. i even track d time & reminded my friend when she should do certain things. i forwarded all impt emails to my yahoo mail cos i noe d work mail will be inactivated. tt's for sure. hw can anyone not noe? tt's common sense right?
currently, i'm sort of taking over a friend or rather ex-colleague who is leaving for studies oso. much b4 she left, i reminded her many times to update me & pass me everything. day b4 shee left, i still check w her even for d servcing, i found out she had an excel file which she will sort of update for purchasin, though not s comprehensive than mine, at least min she shoudl send a final copy to me b4 she left but she didnt.
is it cos d lab is too lenient? prof allow ppl to come in by 10am & didn't really comment much bout disappearance so i admit once a while i took longer lunch when i meet dear. but mostly i don leave tt early like near 1 & i try get back by slightly aft 2. but i see tt ppl took chances to go to JP, to go to service ctr, to go to ambassy.
on d last day of my ex-colleague, she went to d ambassy to get her visa. k. fine. i treat s if i dono. however, when she got back, i still check w her even till i die die wanna leave. cos i alrdy miss my bus cos i was waiting for her updates. i waited till i give up but i trusted her to pass me all items. guess it's bad move. but do i ve to chase aft her & till wat time? if it's my experiment or cos of prof i accept but cos of an irresponsible colleague who keep delayin? hw can i accept tt?
& thanks to her, last week, i was asked twice by my prof on status of d microscope servicing, w d only info tt she called Nikon directly, i ve no other info. this kinda matter is best either u got d service contract no or at least d DID of d person in-charge but i'd none. a PhD student can contact her so i seek her help & was told tt my colleague emailed me. i swear i nvr receive it. & true enough after d student search my email acc. den i was told tt my ex-colleague could no longer access her email. great. but she got a name w no surname so i call d company but i couldn't find d person in-charge. & then my prof check w me for d status for d 3rd time. F*** luckily d prof got d mail & printed for me.
guess wat. i found tt she had given my HP & email to d guy but gave him 9 digit HP no instead of 8. i'm not happy tt she jus give my HP no away jus like tt. i super don like it like tt. she should ve d courtesy to check w me if not den give d lab no la. & d email add is oso wrong. she had search for a student instead of a staff & happily said she forward me d mail. it's not even my undergrad email add lor. i really 'pei fu' her. whr is her heart s she work? photoshop? photography? friends? fun?
today, i was asked by another student on d delivery of another item. & best part. d only info i got fr her excel file is tt thr is a similar or same item bought in june & supposely pending delivery but d file update is till mid of jul only. so is it really pending delivery? is it tt item? so i can jus try contact d company? or had it been delieved & thr is another item from same or diff company aft mid jul? she did send me an email w regards to tt matter. she said she will check w d company via email & get back to me & she nvr forward me d details of her conversation. & nw, i guess she can say tt cos her email acc is locked, she could n't check le lor. wah lan eh. hw many more mess had she left behind? hw many more do i ve to clear?
best part. for purchasin, i'm not d only one doing, thr is another gal & both of us had d acc to purchase fr GS. however, ppl in d lab only keep tellin me they need this they need tt. helo! thr is 1 more person when i'm busy lor. & even best part. ytd, tt gal w d acc came & tell me tt 1 of d item is finishin & she was gg to rest at her desk then. seein so, though i free then, i felt tt i shouldn't 'zhong rong' them. i told her bluntly, 'then buy lor'. y did she have to tell me? if i need something & i'm free, instead of tellin her, i would rather ask if she had anything to buy den i consolidat & get tgt ma. so wat? she is expectin me to buy when she is free? if tt's d case, she can b free fr d duty le la.
previously, before d risk assessment audit, b4 d long weekend, prof wanted someone to volunteer to update d MSDS but no 1 did & so i did. i noe surely many things r missing & true enough. I need to search, print & update in jus 1 day & i couldn't finish. Luckily thr r ppl who volunteer to help me. if not, i cant even finish if auditor really came in. i guess they noe all these r messy stuff so no one wanna b d one in charge ba.
tt's y i say, it's really gd if i can help start of a new lab or at least a realatively new lab so things ain't tt messy. & can really c d true color of ppl when such things happen. i'm really disappointed w tt so call friend who jus pat her backside & leave.
