Wednesday

1st day - A lenghty one

First day 1 July 2009, today I joined my first branch of SBI. A heartily welcome by the Chief Manager (Scale-4) and a good introduction with the crew members of the SBI ship I started my day.
Among many options for me to place, Chief Manager decided to assign my duty in "International Banking Division" where a single lady was in charge. I helped her to post some entries in R-return register where foreign transactions are settled on fortnightly basis. Afternoon I was given a locker room opening a/c work for a client.
In the evening I was assisting Chief Manager till 8:15 for some documentation work. Yes it was exactly 8:15 in a sarkari job!

Bye Bye
