A Superday.

One of the best days at work is when we don't have much calls coming in.
Yes, that. But its not this > When we don't have a phone to answer calls.
After all, what is work without the main tool?
Thats what happened to me today. My half day shift starts at 12pm today. And I,being a consistent 'Late Queen' came in 10 mins late.
To a very odd surprise, my was 'downloading' phone yesterday, was still downloading. At its 6000000th Second (as in time)
F*.
Oh yes, I moved places yesterday. Yeah for my final 4 days in Dell I had to move places. That was quite an interesting bit, but thats still another story.

So I was at my newly moved place. With the newly moved phone.
6000000 seconds ago.
Then it didn't want to let me login.
See. Login in my work place IS THE PUNCH CARD.
How the heck am I suppose to prove that I was already at work when I couldn't login.
F*'ing phone.
No matter what I clicked. Its never going to let me login. Or even take calls, or see calls. Or anything. It just says DCHP downloading or a thousand of other things. Just no login or auto in. There not even the usual columns on it.
One of the 'happier' things in life is when you are already there to do something that you know you're supposed to do, and you can't. You just have to watch others do it.

So I went to pick up one call at my colleague's cos she was out.
Walked around like a lost child. Visited cubes.
Seen my old cube in a new light. - It was Clean!
Oh, of course, i've never seen my workplace, the cubes and all from a passer by's perspective.But I don't appreciate it. I didn't like being so FREE at work. Not one bit.

I finally sat down in my less than friendly new cube and started looking at colleges.
Yes, of all things. But hey, the things we do when we're bored.
And oh speaking of Colleges, Tar hasn't sent me the much anticipated letter.
And my application status is forever 'under consideration' online.
Hoho. Looks like someones going nowhere.

Actually, i'm looking more towards part time college programmes,
seeing as if I don't work its pretty impossible to survive.
Taylor's had that on their advertisement, but I couldn't find it on their website.
Stamford have that too, on a certain programmes only.

Ah. Enuff abt that.
The IT guy came at around 2.35pm
Wheessh. How early!
We lodged to service calls more than 2 hours ago!
I got my phone back by 3pm.
I didn't get to hear of what happened to it, how it happened or how to fix it next time it happens.
I guess IT don't teach you these things but they're always complaining of the amount of calls they get in a day to request for help around the APCC.

Its a nono. Yes. But I am leaving, I better start digesting the fact and stuff my face + mouth.
Just stop caring. The main problem here right now is that. I need money. But I don't have time for a high paying job if I am studying. So what do I do?
I supress myself into a hyperthought self.
Which is very NOT appealing to alot of people including myself.

Everyone worries about money right?

9 minutes to 5.
I am going to be working till 6 today.
Goody.. Another hour to go.

Hang on.....
.... ..... ......


.... That just means that I have another hour to mope around here wearing my indifferent face.
Truth to be told, I wouldn't mind if they switched me to the back row, or even the second row. (Since I've been sitting on the front row)
But to no avail, they happily put me here. On the front row again. Facing all the passerbys.
One of my favourite things to do is to watch them and have them watch me back.
*Shrugs*

Thinking about dinner tonight.
No more Fish & co. for me for a long time. Had a bad experience last night.
Wonder why.
I've always liked fish and co.
Always liked Coriander.
But last night. It was one of the most salty things i've eaten, not to mention oiliest.
And if you know me, you'd know that I hate salty food, which is why I hate the Jap set meals and Jap soup (not the miso one)
I'd love that bit of salt in my food but not when the hold thing tastes like its been dipped or immersed in salt for a long period of time before.

Speaking of which. I want a Tamagotchi.
Huhu. Been wanting that, since a long. Long. Long time ago.

Of the things I have not blogged about.

Today with me.
I am at work at the moment. And because I sorta ran out of blogs to read, I decided to write on my own blog today. Oh Great. Now what do I blog about?

My days at work here in Dell are coming to an end soon. My last day being the 30th of April.
Sadly, Ive taken more than 12 days of MCs here and at least 5 days of annual leave now.
I am about to be blacklisted. I am not exactly sure about that yet, but I probably would?

Hehe. I've always heard, and read of all those talk about people being a professional slacker. I personally think that the title would suit me best.
Maybe the truth is that everyone has a built in slacking system in them.
We are slackers waiting to happen?

Despite my loyal blog readership. I haven't gotten any better at blogging. To think of the amount of blogs I used to have. Tabulas. Friendster. Wordpress. MSN space.

Since I'm already here, lets talk about my work and workplace.

So lets start from the beginning.

Even before I kissed SPM goodbye for good.(I believe it was roughly around the time before the Bio paper) I was already a member at Jobstreet.com
Obviously, what else would I be looking for? A job lah.
For all post spm-ers alike McD did seem like a very valid, and available choice, but for that I'll need to attend walk-in-interviews and since spm is just not over yet, (not for me anyway, thanks to Seni and Bible Knowledge) I couldn't go for those interviews just yet.
Oh yeah, there were also alot of temporary jobs at the mall. Retails mostly. Clothing, shoes, eye care. Well you name it.

That didn't entice me as well.
Overall, online through Jobstreet, I applied for: -
1. Teaching assistant at Kumon - I got shortlisted for the job but I really didn't want it.
2. Book/Music Sellers in Borders - I really wanted the job. But I had no response.

and then directly, I applied for:-
1. Shop assistant at Switch - got a reply but they told me they'd call only when they need more staff.
2. Kindergarten Teacher in MRC Junior - Got the job. Lasted only a week. (Hoho =)
Earned rm150++ spent it all in a meal at Chillis. = P

After that I got a call from Jobstreet when I was at the Starbucks in Borders. - for a banking opportunity.
But apparently, after finding out that I haven't gotten my SPM cert just yet, I only have my trial results, I wouldn't be able to qualify for a job at OCBC - min requirement SPM cert.
But after speaking to me over the phone. The manager over at Jobstreet felt like I was good enough for a job at Dell.

So she said "I will have my staff to call you about Dell"
The following day, when I was at Starbucks at Egate. I got a call from Dell.
Woohoo. My training would commence on Monday. It all happened so fast, I had only just quited my job in the kindy.
Went to sign for a 1 month contract with Dell in Jobstreet.
Only then did I know about contract workers and how it works.

Gee. Its been such a long post. Not such a bright practice when it comes to blogging.
Why? Because people will get tired of reading. Neways. Toodles.
I will post my days there, in another post.

Post Signature : If you wanted to know why I was always in Starbucks during the near end of the year last year, it was because I didn't have internet at home yet. And because of I was drinking at Starbucks like theres no tomorrow because I wanted to have this :

Will post up the picture here soon.

A glimpse into a different world.

Greed is a very powerful and dangerous thing.
The two of them are always coming up as a team of adjectives together aren't they?
Whatever thats powerful is also dangerous and vice versa.

Today like any other day. I experienced the rise of greed so deep in myself.
I desire for something so much more than myself.
I desire for more and more, and more.

I want to be able to take care of everything, take care of myself. Go to places I've never been to and come home safe.

This desire is so strange, and yet not foreign. Its just too much.
Its something I reject so badly and yet want so much.
How can it be, always the two extremes? I keep asking myself.

Wasn't it simplicity that I desire all along, or would it all be engulfed in the flames of my ambitions?
Didn't this used to be the tiny light that gets me through the hardest of hours.
Gives me hope and warmth when all else fails.
But at that precise moment, it was the fire that burns away the curtains of comfort, they were once there to shade me from the (de)lights of the world of greed.(grandour)

Coming back to the senses in the end of the glimpse at the 'life that could've been'
I knew that, a mark has been set, the picture of that other world is forever etched in my mind.
