After more than 5 months, it finally comes to the last day I work. Well, yesterday I had a very nice farewell with my boss, I gave him a birthday gift from my Mom, a 100% silk cravat, she had prepared it before visiting Finland 'cos she knew my boss is a very nice person and actually he is so kind to me. He, in return, gave me a cute b-day postcard came along with the working certificate. It was a little pride to read such those praises written on the papers they indicated me, and yeah I felt really content for what I had done, I guess I did a good job.
My boss, courteously, held the bag carrying all the stuffs by both his hands and gave it to me solemnly, he said, "I do as the Vietnamese culture". I was just pathetic, he was a, as I said, very nice courteous gentleman. From the following days then, I wouldn't see him as daily as usual so I was a little sad about it. He was so kind to me as a supervisor and a teacher, means I got valuable lessons from him, both of how to deal with work and language matters. I like him very much, you know, his age is almost the same as my parent's so I treat him as respectful as I do to my parent. He is one of the kindest Finn I have ever met so far. And since he is a good English teacher, and our university has the relationship with Hanoi university of technology, so he has chance to visit Vietnam for working as an exchange teacher in the future. If that thing happens, I feel really lucky to his future Vietnamese students, because he is a very good teacher! Vietnamese students can advance their language abilities so much when he teaches them. Okay, after all, thank you so much for everything, Mr Tapio.
C'mon, I've just overcome a probation, the next step is the graduation thesis as you might know, before I really graduate. Things seem to go well, and I really feel good about it. I will have relaxing days until the end of July, then to wake myself up again for other important things need to be done. Phew, life is just a long way and each time you pass by a landmark you will feel a little funny, and happy. Thing is to keep going as far as you can!
The only matter that bothers me is that yesterday I received an email from the working place reported my last salary for this month, and because I didn't work the whole month, just for the first 10 days, so I expected the money shouldn't be so high. But more than my expectation, it was just... how could I say, just unbelievable! I did work these days but they paid me something like few hours wage. "WTF?!!", talked to myself, I even couldn't believe it. Was there any mistake here?!! The money is not what I really care about because the opportunity to work is more important since the practical training period is mandatory in my to-do list, but the salary shouldn't be that ridiculous! Anyway, I had written an email to my boss to ask about it, and still waiting for a positive response... God blesses me!
This morning, I come to the office, maybe the last time, to clean it up and throw away some personal documents, and to erase everything in the computer. This office is really cosy, I remember the time I was here alone and felt really enjoyable with it, I could work in peace, or even listen to music in low volume in search for working aspiration. I just wish I could work in an office like that in the future, small but cosy, rather than a big room with full of people and computers. Because you work, so the working place really should be quiet and peaceful, which is perfect for the concentration of the work-er. Some of you might wish to see as many colleagues as possible staying right beside you, for a little fun you guys could have during the working time. I mean the gossip or discussion or whatever any colleagues could share together, and you might call it something like funny-working-place. Okay, it's just what you wish, but if I can choose, I will choose to work in a discrete ambiance. Maybe it's because of my introvert but it's what I really hope for the future job.
After all, now I will enjoy myself for days without work. I printed out some novels and documents waiting to be read, and I planned to do something else, too. Life is Good!
Farewell, job!
