| My dear xanga, I know I have neglected you for quite some time, but now that will change. I am hoping to get back in the updates with mini episodes of my life to reflect upon besides the working life. Starting off with something related to both. I am currently in the Big Sky State of Montana, on my first business trip ever! Sounds exciting? kinnnnd of, but not really. I had to connect two flights from Burbank to Salt Lake City, then to Helena Montana, starting 6am in the morning. On the up side, the sky here is pretty big, clear, and pollution free. It is a beautiful place, with nothing much to do, but beautiful. If you enjoy skiing, rock climbing, jet skiing, fishing, golfing...and sorts of outdoor event, this is the place to be. All the events you can think of, all within close promixity of anywhere in the state. I will end here for now, and spear the why-i-am-here-for-work part. First comeback entry, complete! | | |
| So maybe some of you know, I've been studying for my second actuarial
exam (that took place this morning at some fancy pantsy hotel on
Wilshire, and costed me $10 just for its rip-off valet parking.)
Anyways, it feels like finals week all over again, except less intense
on the studying, and more intense on the psyche. With finals, at
I know where I stand and I know for sure, I will definitely not fail
the class. However, with this, you never know. =/
I think it was agreed among some of us test takers, this exam was
quite, much harder than the past exams posted online. (meaning
the curve will be nice), but not if I am going to be the buffer for
that curve. =(
Regardless of what the results are, I'm done!! (...at least for
the next 3 month I am.) I mean, the worse that can happen: (1) I
take it again in 6 month praying to pass, (2) I don't get my
one-time-passing raise, and (3) feel embarrassed when they announce the
passed and non-passed employees at work. =/
oh well oh well! I am ready to play! I'm done feel sad and
frustrated that I might have done better. That was this morning,
during lunch and a little while after lunch. This month felt so
long,I wanna go out and play! There, my long overdue update.

| So I have survived the first two weeks of the real world. Why
does the first two weeks deserve to be set as a period worth
commenting/posting? Well, its one paying period itself, so I
suppose it can to be a bench mark/point.
Things have been okay. Work-wise in doing actually work that
helps the company make money is something I have yet to do. I've
been in "training" and "reading" other people's spreadsheets, but
basically I sit there and don't do much for 8 hours. Otherwise I
get called in to sit in on meetings and phone conferences to "get the new girl up to speed". Things
aren't that painful, I just feel useless most of the time. I
suppose that should be ok. Tthe girls on my team tells me to enjoy this
period of time. And gosh darn it, I will.
However, I should make known that I am very grategul to have the
co-workers that I have. They have been soo soo nice and helpful
and welcoming, even when I don't work with their group, don't sit by
them, and/or have anything to do with them! The older Taiwanese
lady in my group really takes care of me like I'm her little sister,
the various lunch groups really accepts new members, unlike clicks back in
middle/high school, and the old intern gang are still as "tight" as
last year, just now busier. The co-workers vary in age range and come
from all sort of weird places, (like Ohio mostly, what's with that
place?!?). Its quite different than people you meet in school, of
all same ages and background. Conversation covers many topics,
including why Ohioans(?) don't ever fly out of their state or go on
planes ever, marriage life, study life, soon-to-sppear significant
other would-be encounterence...(hahah) So, in short, they're pretty cool
beans!
I really don't have that much to complain about work, except the commute,
all else is good. I get to set a study hour for the upcoming exam
and take work time off to study. So work and study wouldn't consume too much of my life. Hopefully I will update
with a much hyper tone to speak in regards of my outside-of-work
excitements.
For now, I'm tired. This post is boring, but I just feel the
need to update. Its kind of hard to stay in touch with friends,
now that we are all in different places and not much time for going
online. I guess this would be my way of letting whoever reads and
cares, know what's up with the fabulous (haha, year right) life of
Annie Chi. In the mean time, let me know how you are doing!
