i FINnAALlY having some free time to myself.. For the past few weeks.. i've been working working n WORKING..and my free time is always taken up.. it's not tt i dun like spending time with family or friends.. but i really treasure some quiet moments to myself at times doing the things tt i enjoy.. Hmm~~ what shld i do today?
- Feel like reading some books (which i haben been doing so for e past 2 yrs.. SHAME ON ME! ha!)
- BAKING!! my all-time fav.. wat else? but bAnAnA Walnut muffins=D=D
- Cleaning up my room (hehe.. but this will be e last on my to-do list;p)
- Doing some shopping therapy(my InTeReSt) and maybe shop for my mum's prez.. i've got a sudden urge to shop @ little India..
- or!!! rent VCDs and be a POTATO COUCH (can this be considered a hobby?) haha.. i'm really keen on watchinh e new korean drama i.e. [Jewel In My Palace] but e drama is 70 episodes long!! and when i wanna watch a drama.. it's usually a marathon event.. or shld i wait till my work officially ends?
hiaz.. decisions decisions... wat shall i do?
Oh.. talking bout my job.. i'll be quitting next wed.. hmm.. having mixed feelings about it.. feeling sad cos i really enjoy working with my colleagues.. they r really Nice ppl:) and also.. dere goes my extra source of income.. tho' i'm not very hard-up for cash.. but i hope i dun have to depend financially on my mum.. boo~ this also means tat i've to curb my Shopping urge..
But.. Generally i'm More HAPPY(or shld i say relieved?) than sad to leave my job.. Cos' e job really tires me out @ times and e management kinda pisses me off sometimes also.. For example, last sunday i've to work from 9.30am to 12 a.m midnight with only 1 break in between!!!(this means i was having BreakfastCumLunchCumDinner tog) Due to e company's carelessness.. the chocs promotion was supposed to end on e 24th July but they told us it's on e 31st.. as a result there were many MANY unsold goods left over in e storeroom.. and just a word fr e boss to move everything out by tt night.. we HAVE to OBEY.. and it's really every SINGLE item (mind u!) e fridge(it's a huge choc fridge), the tables, e stands,e cupboards and all e cham pa lang stuff.. and all the left over stock.. (thank u very much) we have to weigh and count em 1 by 1 and keep them into boxes (they filled up 5 big tankers.. it's really alot!!) it's damn tedious and tiring can?! and to work 15 hrs straight is really NO joke.. and wat's the company's parting words [for e promo area] :'' e promo ends on e 24th onstead of 31st.. so for the rest of e week ur schedule will be cancelled and no pay will be given.. we'll call u when ur help is needed" !!! not a single apology was given and not a single THANKS was uttered(we really slogged to help clean up e area) and when everything ended.. it was far too late and we have to cab home and they din even offer to sponsor our cab fares.. and e comment ("we'll call u when we need u") really pisses me off.. We felt being made used of.. and on TUESDAY.. due to a meeting.. my colleague had to return to office after her lunch(i'm just a part-timer so my presence is not required) and this meant tt i've no dinner break cos we'r not supposed to leave e counter empty! i've to work straight 9 hrs (fr 12.30-9.30p.m.) Wat's this?! in e end i still had my dinner..but a really quick one.. i left e place empty for 20 min lidat.. haha.. i nearly choked when eating.. but i'm not a working robot.. n 1 last thing.. they last min asked mi to work tml @ Great World cos dey not enuff ppl:(
yup.. so these are some of e instances that pisses mi off.. i'm quite relieved also cos i can really conc on my studies and more free time to myself and pend time with my family also.. so i think it's a wise choice to quit la..(e manager asked me to stay after sch starts and work on every weekend)
alright.. shall end my complain here.. btw.. i learnt to make some chocs during e choc fair promo:) heard that it's really nice fr some comments.. haha.. too bad i cant taste em myself (i'm caffeine intolerant=s)
