Newsflash

[elyse]

...since I barely have time to get online at all. Let's have the news packed into one entry :)

1. My tourist visa application was rejected on Jan 6, 2003. I couldn't go to the USA at all, at least for a few months (hopefully not years *pouts*). Anyway, I see it as a blessing in disguise. Look at how paranoid the Americans are now.

2. A week later, Jan 13, I got a job offer (a connection from my mom's client) at Gran Mahakam Hotel, Jakarta, Indonesia. Within a few days, I was interviewed by numerous people, including the General Manager, who is French. They wanted me to start working right away, but I told them I'd start on Feb 3 (Feb 1 is Chinese New Year).

3. I had a minor lymphatic gland surgery on Jan 22, 2003. Stayed on the Medistra hospital for a night. It was my first time having had a spinal anaesthetic.

4. Starting Feb 3, 2003, I'm an IT staff (under Accounting Dept) at Gran Mahakam Hotel. On my fifth day, I was asked by the Cost Control (directly summoned by the owner of the hotel) to help them with their project. So I'm now under the Cost Control... until the project is done, which will not be in the near future.

5. I have to work 9 to 5 Monday to Friday, and 9 to 2 on Saturday (which I rarely go home on time; I usually go home after 6 on weekdays). Takes some time getting used to.

...end of newsflash.

See you whenever I could steal some of my spare time to get online... from the IT Dept's computer :)

I heard the difficulties of getting visa to US (but yes, that country is in a mess right now). Hope you like your new job! :)
