today the compliance dude that usually shares my work space isn't here. which i am very very very glad for. its called FREEDOM!!!! plugging in my fav bsb songs singing along to it while reading my stuff. he will be back tmr. darn. all that youtub-ing, msn-ing, fb-ing drives me to distraction.
just now i was "reading" with my eyes half closed i.e. i was pretending to read but in fact i'm napping. there. i came clean with it. what happened next is the kicker. my supervisor came in to prepare tea and at the same time talk to me. i was like thinking "oh crap" while continue to converse with him. my goodness. shite. and here i was thinking i was hoping to ask him to write a testimonial and he caught me napping. riiiiiggghhhht.
he asked me after writing two reports how do i find the work. i gave some lame ass answer saying every firm is different so approach is different so gotta use abit of brains. right.... =.=" i mean i do find myself using my brains and it is challenging. i mean coughing up reports that are of professional quality is not funny. i once said that to j lo and he said "well i reckon your supervisor doesn't think it is" or somewhere along those lines. he has a point.
supervisor said my first report is "okay". i wanted to clarify with him then he moved on to say that all of the fund managers are rushing reports for FY2010 and are moody so i guess not.... which also means he isn't going to read my 2nd report anytime soon. i think i am doing stuff too slowly but seriously these firms are outrageous. they do all sorts of crap!!!! lumbering giants that do not create returns but guzzle in money. its damn hard to analyse and see value in those firms. wonder what my sup sees in them.... just cuz its from an emerging economy...
the following reports are gonna be a pain. talking about pain man! i've got a serious complaint. and i swore yesterday via sms. yes you saw that right dear reader, i swore not verbally. via sms. okay seriously everybody think interns are stupid people who have no brains with no thought process. i emailed this analyst yesterday to ask for an annual report of a particular firm. she gave me the link to the company's website saying that the annual report is inside. seriously lady? THERE IS A REASON why i emailed you for the annual report. if i could have found it on the company website which i DID the day before but couldnt print it out cuz that webpage is a piece of shite. i wouldnt have emailed you for it. like puhleese.... interns do have brains and they THINK. for goodness sake! treat them with respect!!! like DUH the first thing a person does if he/she wants to know more about a firm first stop is company website!!! i was very pissed after i read her email.
then my supervisor said i have to evaluate my reports by myself because he will be in reservice next friday. cuz i handed up my reports 2/3 weeks ago and there still wasnt any feeback so i emailed him saying what does he have in mind for evaluation or process or i gotta refine the stuff myself. evaluate the reports myself?? like what?? how in the world am i suppose to do that when 1) i'm an intern 2) improve that report when all i have is my point of view on the material i've read?? like how in the world am i suppose to improve on that damn thing when i don't even know what went wrong in the first place?
i was beyond pissed that i was out the office door by 5. even earlier than that compliance dude. for once. FOR ONCE.
nvm. whatever. i'll do my best. see what he says at the end of my stint. he most probably won't read any of it. sheesh. this is why i feel all the work i'm doing is useless. there's a report at the end of all that research there isn't an outcome cuz he ain't gonna read it. i mean i was mentally prepared that he won't bother to read it but to actually know that is a different thing u know what i mean?
