How’s IAP?
May 30th, 2007Have installed a cbox in my website. You can contact me, or even try to chat with me ‘live’ over there during office hours. Click here to go.
IAP has been pretty fine so far. Haha. On the first day itself, due to the lack of password for us to use the computer, our supervisor simply told us to ‘wait’ and ‘relax’ for the whole day. And because of a few things (will touch on that later), Wil (another guy who is attached to the same company and department as me) and I were super bored on the first day. I slept until I wasn’t sleepy to sleep anymore.
Here’s a few things about the company/my office:
Things I Dislike
- No MSN and no Youtube access. In fact, all video streaming and proxy sites that you can think of, are blocked! Arrrr… T_T ( Here’s the reason why I set up that cbox. )
- No using of handphone with camera. Things can get pretty messy if you are caught using it. So I had to change to one without camera on the second day. Which is this:
It is water bottle size. IT SENDS SMS IN CAPS, so it will look like I’m screaming at you. Has no clock. Does not show the name of the person who sends you SMS. Inbox limit of 30 SMS. Guys, if you have a better old phone that you are not using, please lend me for the next three months. Haha.
- Isolated office location. A total of three of us are supposed to work in a room for the whole day. It’s like being locked up in jail, or rather, thrown into some unknown world out there. Luckily I have two other interns to ’suffer’ with me. Phew.
- No portable media that is capable of transferring data is allowed.
Enough of the bad, now, the Things I Like!
- It is a stress-free environment. The workload is actually quite low, so low that we have the time to watch dramas (in DVD format), read comics and books. People who love to slack all day, this might be your dream job. Haha. =x
- 10 mins, is the travel time from my house to this company. Woot!
- Company staff are mostly friendly. =)
That’s all so far. I cannot tell you what’s the name of the company here. If you want to know more, you can uhh.. look for me. Lol.

It is really sad to be in this kind of company. You are right, looking back, it is not the worst afterall. The security and rules are tight as it have to serve it own purposes.
It is okie to point out the things you dislike about that company, it is exactly how i will feel if i am in that company.
So if you will be the future boss, try not to set this rules. If you set this rules, try to let your employee understand the purpose behind.
Anyway, i enjoy visiting your blog. I will visit more often in the future.
