Haiz been a tiring but less taxing week. I guess my supervisor is also in the holiday mood and hence took a few mc which means i won't get so stress. Also i think my supervisor and i have an understanding of each other now since its into the 6th week.
In the past, she was always chasing me for work and such. And even said that i spending 4 weeks on an aspx page was dissapointing. I was quite moody for a few days :(
But that didn't kept me down for long as i was given another task and another task and alot of side task. Just like playing RPG games where there are side quest. Then i got to know that my supervisor was having pressure from her boss ontop. The VP of my company >.< and that was why she was so mean because apparently, the VP wanted to see work produced by the intern and i wasn't producing much work.
Although the aspx page was complex and was 700 lines long with my n-tier architecture, it was still an aspx page and what the VP wanted to see was more aspx page instead of a complex aspx page.
And then came the 5th week's special dish...... Meeting with the VP. Apparently, they had a year end progress meeting and the interns were asked to go also :(
Which means i had to meet that scary VP. On the day of meeting which was Xmas eve, my supervisor could not make it and hence it was cancelled. I thought i had a close shave until the VP came over our side and asked us to show her what we were doing.
I took the chance and dumb everything and the "wow" factor to her to see. Her comment was, i don't care what you do, i want it to be nice looking. You guys are young and creative, give me something nice.
I was like "wtf..." then she went over to my friend side and apparently, my friends aspx page was already uploaded online. And the VP went,
"Ohhhh you were the one who did this. Its very ugly you know? I was making a fuss yesterday at the meeting about how ugly this is yesterday. Sorry to be frank but i really feel this is ugly"
And to speed up the time to the meeting because i didn't do much for xmas and xmas eve because apparently my xmas eve half day is at 3pm and by the time i reach home, i got to sleep and woke up only for dinner. But can't complain much because one of my friend didnt have half day off for xmas eve. So all the lucky people who got off at 12 or 1, good for you D:
Anyway as i was saying, the meeting was terrible. My supervisor got shoot and the VP was like i don't wanna hear how you do it or why it is like that, i just wanted you to do it. Somemore said there was no right or wrong when obviously she was blaming everyone. But lucky for me, after reporting on what i did and getting shoot by her of not specifying a timeline, i was let off the hook and allowed back to my seat to continue my work ^_^
My supervisor was not that lucky as they had to continue on the meeting discussing about some other stuffs. And they discuss about it until 2-3pm and the meeting started at 930.
I think after seeing the pressure my supervisor was getting, i became more hardworking(??) I don't know, maybe i saw how much pressure and understand why some things my supervisor said made sense.
Anyway this is part and parcel of working for a big company like this. Bound to meet all kinds of people, the most rewarding thing i got from there would be the knowledge gain in programming, coordinating stuffs, dealing with unreasonable people, socializing, see how servers are mainain and also used including setting domains and stuff and file sharing and many more.
on a side note
