Thurs, 19th July

Guess what, i just received a call from Dept of Statistics, Ministry of Trade and Industry, asking me to go for an interview tomorrow @ 2.20pm. I actually forgotten when i have applied for this job. I think it is sometime in Early June. Facing a dilemma cos i dun know how to get a half day off tomorrow. My boss is very busy and she dun looks happy recently. How should i ask her?
To be honest, i find this job is rather relaxing till now. Other than the very high level of visit last week, I am not doing alot of things. I have only been doing simple stuffs like updating website details, calling chinese universities to chase them to submit documents, preparing reports, sending correspondences etc... Maybe i am still learning, picking up ropes from my boss....There's really alot of things that i am not aware. Sometimes, i feel like i am not even a MSO who knows so much in work. They are so busy everyday. Yet, i am a Manager, in name, doing simple things. Perhaps, you may feel that i am worrying too much or maybe i should feel happy instead. Coz i am paid higher and do less job! I want to be busy always. I want to be developed and learn new things always. Is it that i learn things too slowly that i dun get alot of duties to do? I feel a bit of "useless", occupying a place and doing very minimal duties. Another incident is about my Big Boss. Recently, we have a summer programme and he was asked to initiate to signify the commencement of the programme for a group of 47 Chinese students. He was intoducing all the IRO staff who were present in the lecture theatre to the students and he left me out. Seriously, I DUN FEEL GOOD! Maybe i am too sensitive. The manager whom i am supposed to cover when she leaves for her delivery (3 months of ML + 2 months of settling in malaysia, she's a malaysian) is really good. She is sharp and experienced in this field. Everything looks so simple to her. She can do it fast and efficiently which i find it hard to match up. I know i shouldn't compare myself to her, but inevidently, her efficiency puts me down in front of my boss. *God* What should i do?
