Politics politics, tsk tsk...
9.55pm….So here I am, stuck at home…. Everyone is busy today… assignments, wedding dinners, or simple cannot get through the line to them, and yet others, football matches lol… so I’m online as usual… nothing on TV, so boring! Luckily my friend came online so I’m chatting with him right now about jobs…what a boring life… you know what, I’m happy being single… but at times, wish that I had friends there to do stuff with me… especially my closer friends who are all overseas… and those that are here, well, busy with boyfriends or work or some other stuff. Life!! Ahh…. Haha….
I found out yesterday I won tickets to ‘Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen’ by taking part in a Perfect 10 contest but I found out today that I’ll be working at the time the movie is showing.. its at 7pm this coming Monday and I work 5to10pm… really very unhappy about it…especially since yesterday I asked my TL for the off day so that I can go back to school to do my demo tape and she started grumbling away and saying I ask so many offs already (even tho this off day – 17th June – is a day in a week that I had not asked for off at all), and saying she won’t entertain me next time… well I’m GONNA QUIT ANYWAY…. Haha…well that’s making me unhappy… I mean, the reason why I ask for off is because of my other commitments… and if I can’t fulfil those commitments, I won’t be happy, and I ask for off days way in advance, and besides, I’m only part time!! I should be allowed to have a say in which days I wanna work…. Aaarrgghhh…anyway, about the movie… I guess I’ll be forfeiting it… now have to find someone who wants to bring a friend to go see it… so it won’t be wasted… sigh… and now I gotta pray that 17th June… would be an ok date to go down to school to use the studios… and I also gotta pray that I get another job, a real one soon FAST A.S.A.P…. haha!! Learnt that people, my colleagues are actually not what they seemed… disappointing… POLITICS I guess… hate it… and dun know why I’m so blur to see through them as well… arrghhh....especially since they are present almost ANYWHERE... and I found out the hard way.. like when I first started work, I thought this 'auntie' was nice... so I went to her counter to buy stuff when I finished work... now, I bought Sunshine Bread, and at that time, a free box of GoldRoast Coffee was given free with every loaf. Since a customer asked me before for an extra box, I thought I'd do the same... but when I opened my mouth, she made a hoo ha about it... saying security will check will ask questions all the time in her loud voice... I was so embarrassed!! And I wasn't asking the extra box of coffee for myself, but for my mom.. coz she likes coffee... gee.... ever since then, I always kena from this 'auntie'... she will observe what I do and always make comments that drag on in that loud voice of hers... there was one time though, when she WAS WRONG... a customer bought a Jacobs Biscuit Tin, with which we're supposed to give a free mug. Since my counter did not have anymore, I went to that 'auntie's counter, juz beside mine to get it, and she started asking me why, saying that last time can only give the mug if the tin had a sticker with the words 'free mug' on it... well I heard from a colleague that this time round, it didn't matter anymore, can just give the mug with any tin... but she didn't believe me... and made a fuss about it... saying 'you better don't anyhow give'... the customer all the while was saying she doesn't know about it and didn't mind not getting it... then another colleague walked past... and the 'auntie' decided to clarify... and the colleague said yes, this time, can just give the mug with any tin. Just imagine!! I was right!! And the 'auntie' didn't even apologise or admit she was wrong. I don't know, cannot stand her and am wary of her ever since then... and am still 'kenaing' her hoo ha fuss this fuss that from her up to today...
ARRGGHHHLuckily there are still some genuine nice people... (boy, I hope I know how to tell)... and I really really cannot stand this politics business, I cannot stress enough but I guess its unavoidable.. even in school it was present... let me relate an incident to you where I almost proved myself and made it if not for politics... have always been interested in radio you see, even since I joined mass comm... well, in Year 2, there was this specialist project, where we could choose to audition for the committee for Radio Heatwave (our campus radio station) amongst other stuff like designer for an online website, etc. Well, I decided to apply for the post of Programme Director/Assistant... the highest post there... for that, we had to submit an essay, something like that about how we would run the station, the concept, management, etc... anyway
11.04pm... ok in the midst of writing this, got a phone call from Dennis, to watch the movie Shrek2 with the guys!!! How cool is that, I'm the happiest gal alive right now, I mean, I was just complaining that I was stuck at home and not anymore!!! Whoopeee doop... somemore Ralph is going to Korea tomorow so get a chance to say byebye to him before that hahaha.... I'll be back!!! Elated Marie signing off....
