Allons-y!

"I'll do what you tell me to // Cause in darkness I follow you" (also, about my first month at work)





Received my first paycheck from this job and can't wait to spend it all.

Kidding... but not really. I believe that first paychecks are meant to be spent. Savings can start from the 2nd paycheck onwards. I just feel that you should use your first paycheck to thank people, and to share the joy with your family and close friends.

Anyway, I was reading my blog post about my first week at work (read here) and I just find it so interesting about how things have progressed. Okay I'll do a update point by point:

• Haven't opened my wallet since the first day or work, because I have been bringing my own lunch.
• UPDATE: I am still bringing my own lunch to work so yes, I don't get the chance to open my wallet other than during the weekends.
• I suck at answering phonecalls because I don't know how to answer people's questions.
• UPDATE: I still don't enjoy picking up phonecalls, but I no longer get a heart attack whenever the phone rings. Mainly because I understand better about what is going on so I can answer phonecalls more confidently now. Also, I even get my own phonecalls now (meaning, people who call to look for me) which makes me happy HAHAH
• I also suck at talking to models because I can't get their accent most of their time.
• UPDATE: Okay this one is better now. Maybe I'm just used to the different accents or whatever but ya.
• Have been trying to master dreamweaver, and I think I got the basics already.
• UPDATE: I think I'm alot more proficient with dreamweaver now. Plus most of the problems have been fixed so it's just small little updates every other day, which is alot easier.
• THERE'S AN OFFICE DOG WHICH IS A SCHNAUZER WHICH I LOVE.
• UPDATE: Still love.
• My handwriting is very ugly compared to everyone else in the office, so I have to improve on that because there's lots of writing involved at work.
• UPDATE: Still ugly.
• I am now known as ying, because yingzhi is too difficult for the models and non-chinese clients to pronounce. So I figured, ying is my professional name while yingzhi will be used by my friends and family. So dear reader, please use accordingly. 
• UPDATE: I am used to people calling me "ying" now. It's been so long since I heard anyone call me yingzhi, which I miss very much so I have decided to say to myself "I am yingzhi"every day when I wake up and before I go to bed.
• Kidding, or not really.

Maybe I should do such an update again next year, to see how things have progressed then?
