The past week was my first week at Maersk Filipinas. For my first rotation I was assigned under the customer service department and come Monday, I was shipped right away for hands-on training by our Singapore colleague Eileen. The first day, I must admit, was quite tough. I felt that my brain couldn't contain anymore all the info about shipping, i.t. systems and everything I was learning so far. Come Wednesday though, which was the last day of training, I found work to be enjoyable and interesting. Thursday and Friday were spent learning about shipping history, basic shipping business processes and the like through online courses in the office.
But the first week wasn't all serious business. I was able to spend Monday dinner with Maersk Phitop (country head or simply the "big boss") Jesper Larsen and the other senior MISE trainees at Circles. It was fun to hear about their experiences, and I'm really quite excited for our modules now. Lunches on the other hand was spent with Ma'm Melissa and the other MCC trainees whom I really got to know. Also it was fun reminiscing my Singapore holiday with Eileen. She even said she'd bring me to Bun Tong Kee once I go back to Sing in July! Back in the PBCom Office on Thurs and Fri, I was able to catch up with Shermz and Kaye, plus lunch with Angeli and Inca.
It's nice also that I still get to do stuff even after work. Tuesday, I still played at the league at Powerbowl. Wednesday was spent with shoti and accounting and stat stuff. Friday was league wherein we got a total of 9 points!!! Great game Jaki and Tot!!! XD
I know this coming week will be busier and tougher but I'm sorta excited all the same. Plus I'm getting my first paycheck at the end of the week!!!
