for the last 3 days iv been working in china for a company called Jubilant Team International. Jubilant acts as an agent company to commune between certain shoe industries around the world and shoe production factories in china, pretty much acting as translators.
not including myself there are 7 people in the office and another 2 working in a seperate facility (the boss usually isnt around and is going around on business so its 6 of us at the office for the most part). its a small company, and a small office, but for a starter like me its not so bad i guess. besides, this way its easier to get associated with collegues and such. at the moment im acting as an assistant to a woman who is in charge of sorting order forms from the client and ensuring that everything is in order between the clients and associated factories, i suppose she would be the production manager, making me assistant production manager?
unfortunately though, these past few days have been extremely dull. im given little, if any, work to do and i spend alot of my time just browsing the net and doing nothing (hence the reason for my blogging today and yesterday). apparently its thanks to the timing in my arrival. all the order forms from our designated client (Sanuk) have just been arranged and theres little left for me to sort. additionally, this friday along with next week are holidays for the national china day. so i imagine more of the work will be given to us after the holidays are over, and hopefully i'll have more to do.
its great that i have a job now, though its a shame that i have to sacrifice my hong kong life for this. my gym contract will have to be cancelled, i wont be able to see my friends for ages, i'll have to live with pathetic internet at home, give up my independance (living with parents now rather than living alone), too much shit to list. i seriously hope things will pick up soon and that this will be worth my time.
