Ok, I resigned. And took on a better paying job, doing the same thing. And kick me, but I'm kind of regretting it. Like a soon-to-be bride dreading her wedding day. Because, I've grown so sick of telesales. I hate having to persuade people to sign this, take up that package. I hate getting rejected calls and having to deal with snobby gatekeepers who don't know when to draw the bloody line.

Let's face it. I'm not exactly the friendliest person around. I hate having to sound friendly over the phone, when all I want to do is kill someone. So what makes me think I'll be happier with a higher pay, but doing the same job over again?

I actually feel like calling them up to reject the offer, and run away to another country to study embalming. Hahaha. I actually like the thought of being an embalmer. As someone who has a diploma in bridal makeup, it'll be a waste not to put those skills to use yeah?

I've checked. USA and London has embalming courses. Anyone wanna sponsor me? :P

I recently uploaded my resume into a job portal just for the fun of it, and within days, I got many calls from agents with potential jobs for me. 

Narrowed my choices down to 2. One was convenient from my home, with nice working hours, a pay jump of $330 but no job progression. The other required a bit of travelling, promises of job progression and a nice pay jump of $430. The only thing was I had to start over again as a contract staff. 

Now, I don't know about anyone else, but I hate the word "contract staff". I have worked hard in my present company, and gotten my fix term through hard work. So it'll take lots of persuasion to make me downgrade back to a contract. 

According to the agent, job 2 likes me a lot, and their hiring manager even called me to try and persuade me further. Said she saw potential in me and what not. Yeah yeah, I don't trust strangers 100% ok? I have trust issues with strangers. 

Anyway, I tried to push my luck and asked for an additional $100. Because to quit now, I lose my 13th month bonus, which is so not worth it. And I still have to pay a couple of hundreds for the extra leaves I took. Even all not worth it. 

In the end I turned both down. Job 1 for obvious reasons, job 2 cos they weren't willing to pay additional $100. 

So much for being very potential and liking me a lot. Hahaha. Never mind, I love my colleagues here and I love the relaxed environment. I also love the occasional celeb moments I get. I shall take my hard earned 13th month bonus and start a job search again next year. 

My boss said he'll give me a big christmas present if I don't quit. I shall eagerly wait for my present. Thank you boss! 

Do you have a love/hate relationship with someone? A friend? A boss? A family member? I'm sure you all do. 

I hate that feeling you know? Sometimes you like this person, sometimes you just wish they didn't exist. Most of the time you feel inferior to that particular person, but there's nothing you can do about it. 

That aside. I had a friend whom I regarded as a sister. We met while doing an interview for a local paper for a Valentines Day contest. We hit it off really well, whatsapped every single day, went out every single week. Then all things changed after she was crowned the ultimate winner. She claimed that she was always the one doing the txting to the guy, and didn't seem grateful that he actually bothered to respond. FYI, he's a celeb? And to my understanding, celebs are too busy to have their phones next to them all day, like us mere minions? And she whined that he never asked her out after the contest. And kept getting irritated that the reporter wanted to do a follow up interview with her and so on. 

Like HELLO?? It was already stated in the terms and conditions before you actually sent in your application ya? Can read or not? 

I was trying to tolerate it and be nice, telling her he's busy filming and doing photoshoots, and hosting shows. But she didn't seem to understand. To me, it's just a bloody contest. Whether he was really into her or not, it's his choice and he already crowned her as his final choice, what else is she expecting? A marriage proposal? 

And she didn't seem to get it. Her dream guy had chosen her. Txted her. Taken her out for dinner. Bothered to even reply her messages. Not those one word two word line answers, mind you. My dream guy, Mr M (same contest, different guy), only put me in his Top 6 out of obligation, didn't even bother to return most of my txts, and when he did, only one two WORDS (yes, no, haha), that sort. Eh hello. If you're gonna reply like that, don't bother replying. And he spent the entire V day evening with his eyes fixed on the bitch he finally chose. In fact, before that night, I knew he was already going to pick that bitch. 

I call her a bitch not because he picked her. I call her a bitch cos she used me to dig out info about him, and I stupidly fed her info. I call her a bitch cos she can proclaim that I suit him better, she's not into him, and then appear in the bloody paper with him a few weeks with headlines that scream: "SHE MADE THE FIRST MOVE BY KISSING HIM". Bitch. Slut. Whore. 

I think I'm too nice. 

Ok back to the topic. She whined and whine. And complained and complained. The final straw came when she txted me and went: "What's wrong with him! I finally got over him and now he has to come into my life again by liking my FB status." 

I snapped and told her to quit whining and grow up. I forgot what's the exact word she used on me, but it wasn't very pleasant. Something about me not understanding and being mean. Erm hello? Do you expect me to comply with you and let you whine till the day you die or give you tough love? 

Then a few days ago, I realised I don't see her updates on FB anymore. Went to check, and realised she had unfriended me. ROFL. She unfriended her dream guy too. 

Sheesh, I'm not that childish. My ex dream guy is still in my friends list. I just blocked his updates only. :P  

My job stinks donkey balls

When I was in retail, i told my friends I could prolly write a book about the weird n nasty customers I encountered. Now that I'm in telesales, I think I can write a book about the same topic as well. 

I absolutely HATE my job. 

Since I'm blogging via the phone, it'll take forever to type out everything. So I shall continue my whining tonight. If I remember. :P
