i'm the newbie in the block

If you would have followed me till this post, you would have remembered that i had mentioned about heading towards a different career direction.

yup yup. i've already left my previous company in the accident vehicle reporting industry. and now i'm in the estate and construction field. not quite the physical term of construction per se, but rather doing customer service in the estate management. heard before?

when i was interviewed for this job, it sounded pretty easy. the job responsibilities dished out had painted quite an incredible image of what the position requires of me. but when i really got myself at the actual site, i was actually taken by surprise.

as the name implies, estate management. yeah, i worked for the developer for residential properties in the customer service department. so the project site is made up of developer, contractor and sub contractors to follow up on the purchaser's defects found in the unit lodged by them after an inspection has been carried out. within the Defect Liability Period, the contractor and the developer has to make good for anything defective found within the condominium itself. that would be at least for 12monhts. so before i came, 2 of my other colleagues were taking charge of at least more than 2towers. and one tower has more than 90units. but of course, not all units had been collected even though every SINGLE UNIT has been SOLD. but nevertheless, the files that they carry had so many defects lists which were still outstanding.... and i was told that when i am almost settled down, i had to take over one tower. that would be about 98 units or so...

for a newbie, that's definitely lots of follow up to rectify so that the units could be wonderfully handed (praying hard) over to the owner before they start suing us for not completing the rectifications on time.

so for the past 2days, there were no such things as being able to knock off on the dot at 6.25pm. everybody works till 7.20 at least. i smell something burning. yeah, not just my weeknights are burned, my saturdays morning to pig out on my bed are burnt too. no la, i wont die because i have to OT but rather i just hope that this would not be an everyday affair. i would have other more important committments to attend to. and that worries me. and people, there's more to tell you about my new job.

stick around... it's getting late so i need to fly off to dreamland....

nitezz..... (=
