Today is my 1st day at Expedia! ೭੧(❛▿❛✿)੭೨
Really excited to be starting a full time job after a break of almost 9 months! I have been doing some small sideline businesses but it is good to have a stable job with a fixed monthly income! I can still do my postcard and party planning business on weekends.
I am starting work together with 3 other newcomers and they seem like really nice people! The training will be for 2 weeks so I have to absorb as much as possible, especially since the team is using a different reservation system than my previous workplaces.
It will be like learning a new language. ( ⚆ _ ⚆ ) Plus my brain seems to be a bit rusty so I need to really focus to get back into the groove!
Our trainer is from Scotland and she flew in specially to train us! It is her first time in Singapore so we are going to bring her out for lunch everyday to try local Singapore food!
Expedia is an awesome company to work for because there are so many employee benefits and the office is so beautiful! We spent some time going through our employee benefits on the company's portal today and was so impressed with the staff welfare here. We also went on a tour around the office and this is by far the best office I have ever worked in! I will blog about the office again when I have more pictures!
There's a few direct buses I can take to the office and most importantly.. got seats cos my bus stop is the first few stops!! No need to stand! OMG! It is like winning a lottery.. being able to sit down while travelling during peak hours. Hahahahahaha! I totally don't miss taking the train to work cos it is so squeezy! Most of the times I couldn't even get on the train and when I can, I have to squeeze with other people. Squeezing is fine since everyone is getting to work... but there are those people with long hair who don't blowdry their hair! Imagine dripping wet hair on your clothes...
[○･｀Д´･○] OMG I WANT TO USE SCISSORS AND CUT OFF THEIR HAIR!
And don't get me started on those people who don't bath in the morning and/or has bad body odour. Please lahhhhh.. take a shower in the morning can? And USE DEODARANT!!! So yes, very happy to be able to go to work by bus and avoiding the peak hour commutes on the trains. Heh heh heh!
Our training is from 8.30am-5.30pm every day and our trainer promised that she will let us off early if we are able to complete all the exercises on time.
Woohooo! o(〃＾▽＾〃)o
Looking forward to completing our training and joining the team full-time!
