Interesting Job

Things started to get a little more interesting as i went into my 2nd and 3rd day of work. The unfortunate thing was the need to come back on alternate saturdays which is why I am in office now! Then again, its a norm to work on saturdays for property management.

We walked into tenant's premises to see air-cons, climb to the roof top to see water coolers and to the basement to look at chillers. Walking about in the building definately helps to kill time. I also began handling calls regarding tenants' complaints. Most of them were friendly although i heard my colleagues talking about some unreasonable ones.

There was a guy, lets call him Complain King, in one of the units from an insurance company. He was sitting next to the window and complained that the noise from the expressway, since we are next to ECP, is distracting him from working. Thus, we sent a technician to check who reported that the window was properly sealed. However, Complain King was still unhappy and continued to call us and claim that we did not do anything to solve his problem. He even chided our admin assistant and threaten to storm into our office!

I think Complain King is a bit paranoid since he is not the only one sitting next to the window. Usually, people would love to sit there due to the eye-catching view from our Grade A office building; overlooking the distant Indonesia islands of the Riau Archipelago, Sentosa and southern islands to the west.

The solution: Buy an ear plug for him :)
