Oh yes, today marks the first day of my new job. If there is one word to describe how I felt, it has to be overwhelming. The job of a copywriter is really quite challenging man. As they put it, "exciting but taxing". My company is essentially a branding agency that does bao-ka-liao, from brand logos to advertising campaigns. It dwells upon me that they were indeed in need of a copywriter - judging by the amount of workload I'm given on my first day.
And surprise surprise, it is the first time ever I have done OT. Oh yes, stayed after 8pm plus. Still have unfinished work to complete but I couldn't take it anymore. Spent the whole day in front of the computer screen churning out word after word. Even did a Chinese translation of some copy - to which my supervisor commented - Not bad! But no extra pay for that!
Should I be happy? Haha I don't know. But for once, I am finding my job to be pretty challenging. That's right. Those 'easy' days at SAFRA were over. Now a lot is on perfection, on how to please the clients, on how to do successful pitches and how to win them over.
I have been forewarned of the notorious amount of OTs in this industry, prepped myself for it, but still decided to give this a shot. After all, I have quite possibly landed on one of my dream jobs! So yes, I think I'm pretty contented for now. Taking one step at a time. Need to show that I am capable to perform!
Having said that, I do miss my friends back in SAFRA. Ah, miss those crazy moments!
Ahhh, and dearie is now on the plane to Hokkaido. I am really starting to miss her already. Just hope this week will pass by faster so I am able to see her soon!
Soldier on, Anson!
