2012 is one of the hardest time after having endlessly sweet
escape at Thailand.
Came back to Indonesia didn’t mean a good sign. I have to
face the real world, where I should be able to stand on my own feet, WORKING!
Well, finding a job is not that easy. NO DOUBT. DAMN IT’S
TRUE. As a Bachelor degree of Science, I could work in related field that I
used to learn. I almost got that kind of job. A good one with nice work
environment, but as it the offering came late I took another job to do. Yea, as
a part of PPIC, that I didn’t know how it would turn out. Thank to Maria, my
college friend, who brought me to one of the largest national food company.
It was quite nice as I learn new thing. Being a DRP team, which enrolls the equality distribution of finish goods was quite interesting. I worked on something new, far away from what I used to learn, a job that should be taken by industrial engineering student, but given to a Bachelor of Science. My first boss is Mr. Raymond. He is one of the most outgoing boss in the office, the most fave guy to talk to, the most handsome boss among all. LOL. I always love the way he shares his family story. I can feel that he loves his sons and daughter most, cares his wife as much as he can give. What an adorable family guy, even though he had quite a hard time for living back and forth in 2 different countries to feed his family. But, it shows me how the reality is.

I has a right to choose, but the company doesn’t! The first
reason I took this job, was because the office is in the front of my boarding
house. What a perfect place! I can save time for the trip, I can have my ‘me
time’, I can finish my English course! But as the company grows, organization
changes, the small part of it (re: me) should follow the policy. After enjoying
2 ½ months, I should move to another office, which is located in the boarder
line of Tanggerang and Jakarta as logistic team.
Again, I should thank my partner in crime, Yanita and her
mom for feeding me for 6 months during my placement there. I could say that
Yanita's mom meals are the best! Since the office is on the area where good
food is very hard to find, I asked Yanita’s mom whether she wanted to provide
one portion catering every work days for me.
Lucky me that she fed me a lot! :)
After 6 months I struggled with that condition, I should say
thank you again to one of the easy going-est boss on earth for bringing me back
to my old office,as Demand team. On his age, I can say that he is one of the
role model of young on top. 27 years old at senior manager level! He
is different. He treats his subordinates like a family, like a friend, not as a
slave! It was my pleasure to work with him, but it only happened for several
weeks until again, I should move again to PPIC due to the highness word. Well,
I don’t really like him btw, he is not a good model. But just let him be, time
will prove it how ppl reacts to his words. :)
Coming back to PPIC, I should do some of my old jobs plus a
plus plus report. I was picked because the person who did it is being taken to
a project, which is now being delayed for a year! Very nice! Being a part of
PPIC team help me to master Microsoft Excel. I was the one who always being
ordered to make different types of report, which were quite complicated. But I
did it!
My boss at PPIC was nice tho. He is a calm one, likes
compiling data to protect him from other department attacks! He is damn smart
and can know what is wrong if I give the wrong number. I did this kind of job
for several months until I should move (AGAIN) to Daan Mogot Factory to replace
the production planner. I rejected it, but my boss insisted me to take that
job. I didn’t really want to, but since nobody can replace him, I took it.
Sending to a place that I didn’t want to was not a good
choice. I felt depressed at the beginning, but the condition was not that bad.
Less politics things in the factory brought a little happiness that I couldn’t
feel in my previous office. People more sincere there. They like to help me who
was noted as a temporary team. Every hard condition that I faced, I could pass
it because they always support me for every stupidity and mistakes that I did.
Being a new planner for 2 kinds of product surely was such a
nightmare. I know how to plan the first product, but not the second one. I was
complained a lot, but I learn a lot as well. Thank God that I was helped by a
master of the production who has handled the second product for years.
Have you imagined that in this cyber era you wont be able to
find something while you ask Mr.Google? Logically, you can find everything on
Google, but I did it and the result is nothing. What did I google actually? I
google-d a name. A name who belongs to a man that I met in Daan Mogot Factory,
a freakin master on Tetra Pak world, one of the most respected man in the factory.
But, since Google doesn’t even know it, I will keep the name as a secret.
That man has been working for the company since 1986 (if I’m
not wrong). It means that he had passed his retirement time of working and it’s
been reset! What a loyal person in the world! I met some ppl who did that as
well. They keep working on their retirement time and will really quit after
they reach the retirement age. LOL. Good to hear that I can find ppl like them,
because nowadays it’s quite hard to find such a loyal person.
At the first time I met that Tetra Pak master, I felt a bit
scary even for saying ‘Hello’. He always eats in the canteen, exactly on the
table next to mine. For about one week I never even said Hello to him. Until I faced
the condition where I had to talk with him, related with job things as a
production planner. Since I was new and couldn’t make the production schedule
on my own, so I should ask him to teach and help me how to make it. He did it
very well, patiently. That kind of condition pushed me to talk with him
everyday, and finally I know that he is a nice man and likes to say jokes. I
don’t know why, but not many people can have a long conversation with him, but
maybe he feels quite comfortable with my ‘cengengesan’ personality, he chats a
lot with me from important things to unimportant one. I do thankful for his
kindness, his patient, his helpful hands, and his life stories. I learn a lot
from him and he is one of my favorite colleague. :)
