today started off really badly.
first i woke up to a phone call from my job agent, who AGAIN offered me a 5.50 job, doing customer service at centrepoint.
finally an acceptable location, but unacceptable working hours! and pay.
whats up with these job agents, i asked for 7 bucks hello!
and he had the nerve to call me later in the day to ask if i would
consider taking up the job because 5.50 is
not bad and i can earn up to
500 bucks a week.
and so i erupted.
me: 500 bucks a week at 5.50 an hour? HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE?
him: oh erm cos the working hours are from 10 to 10...
me: didn't i say i don't want a 10-10 job?!
him: oh but you don't have to work everyday...
me: are there shifts so i don't have to work like a freaking 12 hours a day?
him: oh yeah they have shifts.
me: *he's obviously bullshitting me* if i don't work everyday and there are shifts, HOW is it possible for me to earn 500 bucks a week?!
him: oh they have over time pay.
me: oh you mean after a certain hour they pay you overtime?
him: yes if you work more than 60 hours a week.
me: BUT IF I WORK 60 HOURS A WEEK, FOR 12 HOURS EACH TIME, DOESN'T THAT MEAN I'LL BE WORKING 5 DAYS A WEEK? I'LL HAVE NO LIFE THEN!
him: errr... *silence on the other end*
me: i don't want it. bye.
i think i was pretty hostile but HE DESERVED THE HOSTILE TREATMENT OK.
gimme sooo much bullshit.
and that wasn't the worst.
the worst was when i specified NO PROMOTING JOBS and he called me up with a PROMOTING JOB SELLING COOKWARE, trying to tempt me with a 1.1k pay.
no 1. i do not buy your 1.1 k shit when i've tried and tried promoting and i hate it.
no 2. I SPECIFICALLY TOLD YOU NO PROMOTING. WHY ARE YOU EVEN OFFERING ME THAT?!
no 3. its an AUNTIE job. i am TWENTY
another job he offered was YET ANOTHER 5.50 job.
AT LOYANG. wow.
and i stay at.... oh. novena.
so near right. totally convenient what.
what the heck is wrong with him.... i just hope my other job agent calls me back quick, she's supposed to be good for finding well-paid admin jobs.
this current one can just go and con other stupid girls into taking all his 5.50 jobs.
cheryl, mf and i agreed that we would only take low-paid jobs if we could actually learn something on the job.
but being a receptionist? selling cookware?
no way!
and the 2nd part of my bad day was when i decided to go swimming...
after swimming about 15 laps, it began to drizzle.
so i took it as an excuse to get outta the pool after i did 24 laps.
which was 6 laps short of my target!
and so i rinsed off, only to discover that MY SUNBLOCK CANNOT GET WASHED OFF.
tried as i might to scrub it off, IT STUCK TO MY SKIN LIKE FUGLY WHITE STOCKINGS.
and i thought to myself, for the first time in my life that i decide to actually CARE abt my skin so it won't get freckled when i'm old/get skin cancer, i discover that i've such sticky sunblock.
and guess what? when i was about to leave the pool, the SUN CAME OUT AGAIN.
but by that time i was all nice and dry and didn't wanna get back into the chlorine...
so i sat and tanned. and then i felt really guilty about all the damage i'm exposing myself to so i decided to head home and try to scrub off the sunblock.
so yours truly came home and scrubbed.
first time, white stockings still there.
so i try again.
second time, MY LEGS ARE STILL COVERED IN THEM.
strangely, most of it on my arms got washed off... i wonder why.
luckily there was cheryl and mf to brighten up my day.
super unhealthy people we are though... we had long john silvers for lunch and manhattan fish market seafood platter for dinner!
super shiokkkkk though :)
caught WHAT HAPPENS IN VEGAS and it was totally funny.
except the part where some stupid convent girl behind me threw popcorn cos we were talking too loudly.
but i'm sure my killer stare frightened them. at one point in time i almost wanted to buy a whole tub of popcorn to throw back but mf persuaded me against it. lol.
then we shopped around for awhileeeee wanted to look for bras but didn't find any :(
sigh. ended up tempting ourselves to buy shoes instead.
didn't even get shoes though haha. i want to go to ps soon to get my loafers! even though they're fugly but whateverrrrrrsss so comfy! :)
then we chiong-ed down to wheelock so that mf could get her OWN loafers at this shop called substance.
and we spent like... half an hour there when they were trying to close the shop deciding on like 5 pairs of shoes, and ended up NOT GETTING ANY.
i'm sure the salesgirl loves us to bits now.
and then my beloved cheyyyrl insisted that we walk her back to dhoby ghaut so that she doesn't have to change train and i didn't really want to but stupid mf CHALLENGED ME.
i hate it when people challenge me. so obviously i took up the challenge and we spent 45 mins walking ALLLL the way back to ps.
but it was fun =) taking pictures and planning future outings!
east coast! mambo! =) =) and all the weird pubs that mf wants to visit.
today was funnnn =)
