I’m about to face challenges in life—do I dare?
By
Sinta Dien Wulandari
Wake up very early in the morning, go to work until late afternoon, try to be a “nice” translator, and then go home in the evening. That was my newest daily activities lately. Well, don’t you think that I’m a “real” translator, no I’m not!! I’m in training. it’s not ordinary you know, due to I’m a colleague who still struggle for my studies and research paper’s preparation. Being a translator is not interesting as I thought. Hard, since I have to translate a technical manual which I don’t familiar with, totally out of topic of my studies—English Literature. As an “unprofessional” translator who hasn’t certificated, I’m trying to do as best as I can, practically finishing it with translation’s theory I’ve got so far. Further, it was my newest challenge recently.
At the first time I stepped my foot in this company, everything was sooooooo strange for me!! The building, the stuffs, the people, the work (which is at that time I didn’t know anything about it—get use to some technical terms). I started to translate a manual, worked for hours in front of computer, in front of my boss-- due to the department is preparing for switch to other building’s office, furthermore each employee in that department is working in the same room with the manager—ahh pathetic, it is so intimidating!! Moreover, I work in the middle of people who I didn’t know well, it was goddamn boring, and I felt time went so slow. I’m not a kind of person who easily gets involved; I need time to make my self comfortable slowly. With this new challenge, I forced my self to be easily adapted with those things.
Today is my 9th days in this big city; I’ve learned pretty much a lot of Jakarta’s habitual, they works fast and professionally, they appreciate time, the way they walks are eager—we cannot walk slow or I bet you will left behind and the bus . But, among those sophisticated people, you must mind with them because “bad” people are around, the criminal could happen sometimes. Once I heard that “Do not ask stranger in this city!” even for the nice one, because they are un-trustable. In the other side, my colleges are nice people actually, they spread positive thought for me, really support me in work; they teach me how to be easy going in workplace and the people also.
Well, it was the folks.
