9.-13.5.

Hey,

9.5.

On Monday I worked in the office. I did some engagements for clerks that already had a contract. I also made them files (Or more like attached the red cover of the file with a fastener and some plastic sleeves.) and sorted their papers out into the file. he I did their name tags and attached them. I really enjoyed working on those files, because I felt like I know how to do my work and that I was trusted to those correctly really gives me a boost.

Friday hadn’t gone that well, because I also had to correct one contract I had done incorrectly on Friday. Not a biggie though, I had just put in the wrong ID number. I also had to find the files we had done back then and put in their place (Those cupboards are bursting out of their seams, by the way.), because they still needed to be put in the payroll system.

10.5.

I went to work in Baystreet. It was the same as usual, patrolling at first, then car park watching. They had managed to fix the indoor car park barrier, which I’m really glad about. I also did something I guess could be called hot work surveillance. And believe it or not, that’s how it’s called in English.

What happened was there was a guy changing the flooring in the elevator and I was told to change shifts with the other security guard watching the guy work.

I wasn't given any specific directions on what to do, but my best guess is that I was supposed to do hot work surveillance (but there was nothing to put out a fire near, nothing) and watch that no one comes to interrupt him working (a.k.a. to be a work safety hazard).

PS. It’s getting so warm here that the mosquitoes have awakened and currently they’re trying to invade our apartment, one bite at a time. And these aren’t nice little mosquitoes like in Finland. You can’t feel when they bite but oh **** does it sting and itch later. And it itches for days (and I’m not even allergic). Seriously, my right arm looks like a meth addicts face.

11.-13.5.

On all of the days above I worked in the office. I did the same things everyday: engagements, terminations and updating database, occasionally copying some documents.

On Friday however on top of those I got to print engagement and termination notifications from ETC and file them in their file.

The wages were also finished, so I cut payslips (like with scissors from paper), enveloped them (not sure if that’s even a real verb…) and wrote the addresses on and stamped them with Signal8Security’s stamp. Posting stamps they already had. I liked doing Friday’s tasks. Especially putting payslips into envelopes and writing the addresses. Because I never get to do that anymore, so it was fun. (What I define as ”fun” might be the reason why I have very few friends…)

Anyways, next week will be the last week here. And I would apologize for not blogging until now, but deep down I know that nobody cares.
