am not unemployed anymore


^_^

Well... It's a little more like the feeling of ambivalence.

I never thought I would find a job I did not like.

I went to an agency as recommended by some friends.
They said there was an opening where he worked but it would be more clerical work (eg. keeps records or accounts) and banking.
I thought it would be a nice change from working in the IT industry, considering my previous experience.

I called up the job placement agency and was told to come in for an informal chat.
They told me it was a nice placement at the Commonwealth Bank.
I thought to myself, " I like where this informal chat is heading".
The job description said I would be participating as part of a team.
This suited me fine as I would then be able to annoy people with my inexperience and they would cover for me for the first few weeks.
The job title read that I would perform the duties of a loan conveyancing officer.
I thought WOW... this should be novel and interesting.

What is this conveyancing business anyway?
I decided to shut up about it during the interview and google ^o^' it later.
Apparently, it is a term given to the legal process of buying and/or selling property. A dictionary later, I came up with the explanation that it means, "The legal process of transferring the ownership of a property from one person to another."

Anyways...
I was told to show up bright and early last Monday in a nice business suit.
Since, I am the new guy there, it has been mostly general office boy duties.
I pick up and sort the mail every morning and do a ton of filing after.
We then get a nice lunch break and, considering that I am in the city, it has been interesting.
I then come back and collect more mail, post them and then do more filing.
After all this filing I get to, again, collect more mail and post them.
This is very boring and monotonous.
I don't feel like I am learning very much; which was the reason why I accepted this position anyway.



...bordering on the annoyance.









...show up in a nice business suit


It is nice to be a highly paid office boy or, at the least, I am probably the best dressed...
