Practical - 1 Month In

Drawn by WhyWai out of boredom in office.

4 weeks since I started my practical in Flextronics. My post is actually a Manufacturing engineer post, who responsible for the production of HP huge printer, called plotter.

Yes, this big.

So far I am quite disappointed on this practical job as I don't really learnt anything technical related. Given that I am doing practical for only 3 months, my supervisor doesn't seem interested to teach me anything. For weeks, I have been passing around by my supervisor to his engineers just to do some 'office boy' works. There were even few days that I just sitting in office doing nothing whole day when my supervisor is too busy to bother about me.

Worse, I only got limited access to filters active internet! Erm, Actually me as practical can't even access internet. But luckily my supervisor gave me his username password to help him do some paperworks in 1st week. So I have been using his account to sur,: Google news and Wikipedia... =. I hope my company

My only good experience was in 3rd weeks when I was asked to assist a young engineer close to my age. Maybe he also been through this practical thing, so he is the first one to actually explain to me what he's working on and give a task to take responsible. Not just ask me to print material list or take photos of part.

Well, at least I did learnt 2 things about myself:

- I'm having a hard time speaking and understanding Malay, seriously. When I tried to say "You email to me", it became "you emel ke saya". =.= Luckily, my supervisor talk English to me.

- I intend to smile stupidly when people ask me something that I'm not clear. Which make me really look like an idiot.
