It was supposed to be my first day on job today, cause I was told by one of the leaders from the Foreign Trade & Economy Bureau to get to work at 8:30am this morning. And I did as she told me so.
It was 8:05am when I reached the mansion, which is an old building, built around 1990s'. Seeing nobody in the office, I could only stand at the end of the corridor and take a smoke. It was pretty embarrassing for me cause I only did that when I was a salesman in Singapore. I never like the feeling of waiting for somebody alone! I still remember the old times when I hided myself on the fire-corridors and did nothing but taking cigarettes. That is absolutely the worst way to kill time!
Back to the point, Mr. Liyang, one of the vice directors of the bureau finally approached me and we had a conversation about 10 minutes, regarding on the bureau's background, duties, privileges, and whatever I concern about. Then I knew I was going to join a really busy bureau, cause I would have lots of work to do everyday. Fortunately, I will still have weekends. And I was told seldom we would work over time.
However, there is one thing that I still worry about. What if the director of the bureau does not allow me to get on board, or he just prolongs the probation period? Even though I have strong confidence on myself these years, I feel a bit nervous, cause I really want to be a member of the bureau. Who knows what the hell I was thinking of. Anyway, I said yes to him and that was a confirmation which proves my joining in the bureau. Then I know I would have a monthly payment no more than RMB2000. And I will get that amount until I retire! Is that terrible?
Mr.Zhang, my ex-boss, told me that I am too young to be a government officer. He said I would have to clean the office, take care of the flowers and get hot water for the leaders everyday. He was afraid that I could not bear it for long in the government. Anyway, I am optimistic on my career life and I know I'm gonna make a great difference up there!
