Dear All (who haven't abandoned my blog by now from its sheer insipidity and lack of original content),
Due to the fact that I'm working 3 jobs right now, my blog will start to wither away and die over the next few months. I won't be blogging very much also because, as you know, blogging about work is the easiest way to get fired.
Work so far has been fine, it's not fun but it's not torturous either. It will eventually get torturous, judging from my fellow colleagues' tables. I've 2 same-level colleagues for the department of Music. For safety reasons I shall call them the Sparrow and the Pigeon. And 2 underlings, which are 2 friendly NS boys which I shall call the Chinese Puppy and the Japanese Puppy. And my direct superior, a Cricket, and the overall head for all Arts development, a Wildebeest.
As you can see my accounts of worklife are going to sound like something from an edition of My Family and Other Animals.
Sparrow has been very friendly to me from Day 1 and has brought me to many feeding grounds during lunch hour (see what this is beginning to sound like? The joys of self-censorship). A very chirpy and expressive person! We also exchange a good deal of emails about World Cup, especially when Germany lost to Serbia. On the whole she has been extremely helpful to me.
Pigeon tends to keep to herself and tends to ditch stuff on younger staff and expect them to pick it up themselves. So Sparrow has suffered at her hands and has gotten mowered by the Wildebeest at a group meeting before.
Cricket is friendly, but because she's my direct superior I unfortunately cannot feel comfortable in her presence. Maybe in a bit. She's also been very friendly.
Wildebeest is a watchful, peaceful animal who is actually quite sedate usually. Usually. But also a very nice person, but stern and a bit more hardcore about work (she's been working there for years and years).
So that ends today's edition of Kat and Other Animals.
