Two Lovers Under A Tree

My First Real Job at Konquer Insurance – Mad Chaos: January 22, 1997

Views: 324

Working hasn’t been so fun and educating for me.  This is my first real job.

I got up at 7:00am to get ready for work.  I put on my Keppers and blue Nike shirt.  Then I started walking.

I saw Dina at Bradbury.  She was also going to work, so I walked with her to the station.

There was a girl that I fancied at the station.  If she is there tomorrow then I am going to say something.

Konquer Insurance Work Day

So far, work is very good to me, I have lots to tell.  I met the person whom I am taking over.  Her name is Sephora Santos and she was a fairly nice person to get along with.

Work started with me doing some straight typing.

I was put on some accounts for the remainder of the day, which I was very happy to do.

The IBM computers they have are from slow to fast.  The fastest computer the 600 is a very sick machine.

Taking Lunch Locally

On my lunch break I walked to the mall.

I tried on some Obsession and Opus perfumes for men.

Frank went for lunch.

I was put on reception.  I went very good and sounded professional.  There were at least 4 calls and one person who had to pick up a delivery.

Calculating My Salary

My pay is $240 gross.  $25 is tax.  6% is for superannuation.  That brings my pay to $200 a week.

I can turn up as late as an hour or more to my job and the boss won’t care, as long as I turn up.

Also for my job I get to travel to the city a couple of times a week.  That gets me out of the office.  I have to collect the mail from the Post Office.

I also received the keys to the office, so that if I get there first I can open up for them.  I think that is cool.

Lucas Picks Me Up

Coming home I talked to someone from Keith’s cricket side called Craig.

Then I rang Lucas from Campbelltown to ask him to wait at Pizza Hut.

On Friday we are going out to the city with Lucas and someone else and partying at a club.

Macarthur Rams Team Gridiron Practice

When I got back home I got quickly dressed.  Then Lucas and I drove to gridiron training.

Today was just good practice and we got our shirts for the year.

On Sunday, we have to be at Macarthur University at 7:30am so we can travel to Cronulla for a practice game with someone.

Preparing For Tomorrow

Tonight I have to write a reference for Sephora.  Frank told me I have to type it up for her tomorrow.

Right now I have to eat, shave my legs, and then write the reference letter before I go to sleep at 11:30pm so I can get up at 7:00am.
