Today - Sunday
Juz reached home from work not too long ago. So tired now...aching ear, aching back and sore throat. Aching ear due to "sticking" it to the phone for 6 bloody hrs, aching back due to the lousy support of the office chair...the backrest is no where near my back..so i ended up slouching. Sore throat due to yest spicy dinner + the non-stop talking done at work. Sounds terrible? ya..I tink so. This is call torturing yourself to earn money. Luckily I only have 4 more days to go...(resign end of the mth). I used to think that it doesn't matter who you work for or what you're working with as you just have to get used to it (did I say tis b4? If i did, pls bear wif me n let me repeat again) BUT after experiencing this job, I realized it is IMPORTANT who you work for and what you are working as. For the past few part-time job that I held b4, each of them had their own demands but thinking back, it was much better than tis current job. At least I dun dread going to work back then... at least the boss were nice n sincere (dun noe if they are but at least i tink they are). This current boss is terrible. She smiles at you when u meet her target no. of calls but gif u tat black + black (coz she is a indian) face when you dun. It is veri irritating to me coz for the past few weeks I had not been able to meet her target and she is giving me tat face and todae I managed to meet her target, she smiles at me for nothing. Yucks!
The thing that I'm most 'bu shuang' is that when I applied for tis job, I did specifically ask her whether is there any target to meet, she said NO but also cannot slack. I told her ya, of coz must do my best. Ppl who noe me...tell me, am I someone who like to eat snake?? The way she told her to 'buck up' for the past few wks is as though I'm slacking my way thru...getting paif $5/hr for nthing.
hello??!! can't you see that I'm calling n calling but everyone seems to be out, wat can I do? and she keep harping on meeting the target... I simply feel like shooting back at her..but kept quiet otherwise I can't imagine how black her face will be when I'm working. Todae still short paid me $80 for last mth pay. #%$%$#$@#!!! I asked her why so little n she showed me the punch card.. one look n i knew there are errors yet she can explain until so shuang that 'see...tis + tis + tis = my pay'. she "realized" her mistake after i pointed out n it turn out to be $80. kaoz!
Yesterday - Saturday
Went to school early in the morning for school outreach programme. This programme is juz to promote ngee ann...where by sec sch kids will come to take a math test + eat refreshments + see presentation. Today kids are from Bowen Sec. I saw a few of them holding my beloved white x430!!! kaoz.... everywhere I go I see ppl holding the white one... yet I cannot get one..coz out of stock...can only settle with the silver one. haiz...
After that den go home rest for 2 hrs den go work. Work was totally dreadful. It started off fine... my performance was average, not up to boss target (as usual)... den I got sort of a reprimanded by a woman. I was scared + 'yuan wang' (more of yuan wang than scared) that tears drop. I said all the standard things..asking whether she can spare me a minute. She said ok den she ans the 4 qns. When it was done and I thank her..she suddenly said
She: "THAT'S ALL? You called up t asked such personal qns den you are juz hanging up? I DUN NOE WHY you wan to ask all this"
Me: "Yes ma'am, juz these few simple qns. This is for research purpose blah blah blah..."( I mentioned the reason in my standard opening speech..either she is dumb n dun understand or she is deaf)
She:"This is very RUDE you noe....blah blah.." (she can reject to take the survey but she didn't. yet she scold me after it was done)
Me: "I'm so sorry ma'am. I was juz told to conduct tis survey by my boss
She"Can you TELL YOUR BOSS this is veri rude!"
Me: Yes ma'am..I'll"
She"Now what's your company name AGAIN? I muz write this down..YOUR ADDRESS, TEL NO. YOUR NAME. YOUR BOSS NAME"
Kaoz!!! Tis is not the first time I kena tis kind of ppl so at first I juz say yes yes yes to wadever she say... she she got more fierce n my heart suddenly is thumping faster n faster. After she hang up... 1 tear juz drop.. den a few more threaten to drop..luckily I sat in a corner.. my cried coz I feel so so yuan wang! I mean I did not want to do this....den the ppl always scold me..as if I call them up to get them to scold me. I swear...I'm never ever going to do such job again!!!!
