Colleagues At Work

There is always a variety of characters in a workplace. So is mine. Even the twelve of us each has a distinct characteristic. Below is my personal opinion:

Ms. S - Individualist. She likes to give herself personal space and time. While we are discussing about Friday outing, she was back at her workstation doing her journal. You have to open up yourself before she will open up to you. Then there was this other time...during group discussions, she will sit in one corner, making her own notes. However, her notes are really detailed and nice.

Ms. M - Blunt. She often says things without showing much delicacy or considerations. It's good to be honest sometimes. However, over-doing it might cause you some trouble in the future (not with me), especially in terms of managing relationships. Perhaps being young you can still be blatant about it.

Ms. R - Down to earth. She talks like a school teacher (and in fact, is a tuition teacher as part-time). Good natured girl. She has this motherly nature, bringing me drinks every morning and giving me Vitamin C when I am sick.

Ms. A - Blur. She can be blur like 'sotong'. She looks really serious. However, most of the time she's in her own world. Nevertheless she's a smart girl (graduating from the R's school). She gets along well with Mr. E and often seemed bickering with Mr. D.

Ms. H - Inquisitive. She looks quiet, but she is a very inquisitive girl. She loves to ask a lot of questions during the job orientation. And she is also very hardworking and always taking down notes like Ms. S.

Ms. T - Optimistic. As saintly as her name sounds, she is always with her wide grin. She's a good natured girl who can get along well with the girls and the guys. I am still thinking of ways to make her wear a skirt. That's a huge challenge.

Mr. D - Hyper. He may not have graduated from Finance (he's from Engineering), but he has the most experience in the banking industry among us. He has a boyish face, but he is intelligent. He is the type of person who can spend little time to finish up reading and digest everything he read. He is very energetic and hyper. Talks a lot. In fact, he repeats himself a couple of time to emphasize certain things. Age probably plays a part in his long-winded speeches. He's the oldest among us. Anyway, I nearly forgot to mention he's a great singer in our group.

Mr. S.G. - Crappy. He looks quiet, but he loves to crack jokes with us. At time his jokes can be a little childish. He acts strangely in front of me though. He does a lot of sweet-talk. I have no idea why he's acting so weirdly. Nevertheless, he is very hardworking to prove himself at work. His credit risk management report is as long as Mr. D.

Mr. S.H. - Quiet. He will quietly sit in a corner, looking at his handphone (probably chatting with his girlfriend). He will crap a joke once in a while, but he always gives a very serious look after joking. This makes it hard to tell his jokes from serious talks at times. He jokes more when we are in a small group.

Mr. E - No sense of direction. He possessed this X-factor that makes him a very good friend of girls. In fact, I think he's very sporty about the ideas put forward, he is well-liked by the guys too. However, he can be so clueless when it comes to directions. He needs GPS to drive or at least someone who knows the road to direct him. Even asking him to go along a straight road, he might get lost. I have no idea how he survived his army navigating in the jungle.

Mr. W - Secretive. He is a regular smoker but for some reason he's been hiding the fact from everyone else (the 11 of us). He is being very secretive about it. I have no idea what is the reason behind. Anyway, he always sound sarcastic to me but in a playful manner. However, he has a very good-natured character, which makes him a good friend to chat with.

That's all for the description of my colleagues. I shall do a more detailed write-up next time after more observations.
