Summary of day
Today's Ups:
Private tour of the spanking new National Museum.
Meeting the great team at Nat'l Museum, definitely. Didn't get to watch the screening of the local sci-fi film production 'Avatar' cos of extreme tiredness, but hopefully the next screening this 20th.
Today's Downs:
More induction programs. 1 more next week before I'm really done. Tired, tired, tired.
More product and systems knowledge briefings. More codes to learn. My brain is a whirl of information yet to be sorted and organised in a coherent flow. But how, when even the system's logic itself is a mess?! &^%$!!!!
It's a system designed for punishment.

Sampler of 1st week's orientation
Trainer 1: How long are you gonna be with us for? Oh, 4 months only? Well, you do know the company doesn't issue staff with mugs unless they're with us at least 6 mths???
Me: Mug...?
Exit Trainer 1, Enter Trainer 2:
Trainer 2: Oh, I noticed you've not had your mug yet? Wait here, I'll get you a foam cup from the meeting room!
Me: What's with this mug thing...?
Exit Trainer 2, Enter HR officer:
HR Officer: We've decided to issue you with a mug since you'll be with us for 4 months.
Me: Arrggghhhhhhhh!!!!! Let me quit!!!
