The second day

CHAPTER 1
Well , the only word I could use to express all the things are going there that boring , boring and boring . Yesterday , the manager asked us to come at 7:45 AM , and we did very punctual. But just standing outside her office and dared not to knock on the door . She came out and asked to join the meeting with them . There are about 20 staffs in her office . Whewww! How nervous ! Then they talked many many things ...blah blah blah ....and she started reading the groups which were divided by her . "Vy-the 9th group" . Hmm , a bit disappointed ! Q.T and her bf are in the same room while I am in another . Yeah . they must be because the manager is her mother's friend . Of course , how could she bring me to the same room with them . I am not on the priority list of her . Well , let's see what happened . After the meeting , I followed to my "sis"....(don't know how to call her in English-kinda person who guides trainee what to do) Don't know why these people are as old as my parents but they still prefer us to call them as bro and sis . How funny !

My sis is a chubby woman with curved hair . She doesn't own a lady look , just kind of a very normal one . The importance thing is that she seemed easy going and lazy - I think . She asked me sit down and made a normal talk like where I am from , where I am studying ...blah blah blah then she continued " oh , I gotta take my breakfast, now you are here and waiting for me for a while okay ? ah by the way , have u taken ur brekafast yet?" - a question without answer - She knows well that I will say yes and never join with them . 9:10AM . She came back , turned on pc and watched VN-Index . Who knows if she is able to read it or not . She was just kept scrolling up and down . She didnn't care any stocks ??? Maybe or maybe not . -I was still sitting beside her . Then she took a book which is as thick as a dictionary , law about Tax and looked at me "now you read this" . I said nothing and read it . What the hell is it ? Why do I have to read kind of this one ? There is nothing I can do there . Boring !

She went outside then she came back and gave me another book of Tax law . "read this , the previous one easily makes us sleepy" Hmmm...Both made me sleepy , sis ! Then she was outside . Then she came back , checked her mailbox and started chatting . Some other ppl in that room just still did something the same . Men kept being on the phone , women kept checking their zodiac . Some clients came , but of course you have to obey the tax workers , if not you will have to go back to your company and do all the things again !!! I was sitting , looking around from 10 to 11:30 AM without doing anything . Then she said "now you can go , come back at 2:00PM" . Firstday to be internship made me very disappointed . Really really disappointed . I wish someone had me photocopy eventhough I don't know how to do . It might be better than just sitting and doing nothing . I shouldn't have applied for this position . Yes never !

As a trainee , I have to come on time . Of course , always ! Then I came to my chair and go on this morning job - sitting like a statue . Now I know what I am made of , stone or wood ??? It was 2:45PM , and she still hadnt come yet . The manager dropped in this room , discussed something to her co-worker . Oh I didnt forget to say hi to her . She saw me sitting and doing nothing , dare not to touch anything and she asked "where is she?what are you doing here ? Why are you just sitting and let time pass ? You are wasting your time girl ? Why don't you ask her what to do ?" .
Vy : Mrs Lan asked me to come at 2:00PM .(My God , I wished I could say something better than that, but say what ???)

The manager : then where is she ?

-She still hasnt come yet , boss! someone said .

The manager : Oh , you know her number ? then why don't you call her ? (How could I call her if she were supposed to busy with her children , her husband , her ..anything she is busy with , she would think that I am complicated . Damn ! Okay , let me do that . then she starting calling but maybe no response . Okay sit there and wait for her . I am busy now .

Finally , My big sis came . Just few mins after the manager had left .

- Oh dear , did Mrs Tuyet call me ? she asked every one .

I didnt forget to say hi to her . She left and of course you know where she were going - came to Mrs Tuyet's room .

Then she came back and whispered soemthing to her colleage's ear . how funny that I still can hear that "get something for her to do , dont let her just sit and do nothing" .

Then she starts doing her job . Now she is really doing her job huh . That checking checking and checking all companies's papers . She didnt really ignore me , she gave me some papers and asked me to fill the ordinal number for all . Thank God , at least I got something to do . After then , I went out for a while with her to ask for some signature . and then I was there to pile the letter to other local Tax offices,stick glue on every envelope and "now you can go home , tomorrow I will tell you how to send a letter" .

So that's all . The first day being internship in Tax Office . Free but boring . But I always know I shouldnt quit . I chose this one and I have to run to the final line . Maybe I am not patient enough . Maybe I am not smart enough . Maybe I am too timid . Maybe ...they don't like me . Okay , let's see how tomorrow going . OMG , my back gets hurt , really hurts now , I can't even bent myself . I just wish to have a massage and a deep sleep enough . I just wish so . I just ....

First day in Hochiminh city Tax Office

Whewww! Finally I work as a trainee in HCMC Tax Office . First day begining with lots of strange things . Every one seems busy . No one cares who you are or where you are from . Thank God the manager didn't ask for the transcript because I never want to show it up . Maybe Q.T was right "if you got insider's help , you never have to get any difficult requests" , but who knows what will be going in near future ? I know that I can lean on her all the time . When will I be able stand on my feet ??? Oh My God ! How tired today is !
