Unwanted Overstayer

As much as I love absolutely love my house on the ground floor, I really could do without all the weird creatures that make its way in.

Most of the time the usually make their way out, and thats fine with me.

Unfortunately, a certain black and yellow striped gecko decided to come in and has yet to take its leave.

To make matters worse, its been hiding in my room.

Sigh.

SOMEONE GET IT OUT!!!!!
please?

Is it Even Legal?

The more I think about, the more ridiculous and hilarious it gets.

Is it even legal* to cut a person’s salary just because the person told someone else the amount?

Is it even legal* for a boss to call up a person, scream at her, call her “stupid”, tell her she should had “f***ing shut your mouth” and justify the salary cut because she caused “a riot at the office”?

Geez.

*I’m using the word “legal” in a very loose and broad sense here.

I Quit.

Looks like its time to go job-hunting again.

At least I got a taste of office politics already. And I haven’t even started.

Oh well. If it’s anything to blame, its probably my naivety.

But as they say,
Welcome to the Working World.

I’m Still Learning

I never knew its not allowed to ask the PR a personal question with regards to their client.

For example,
“May I find out if the restaurant can take a reservation of 10 persons?”

Now. I. Know.

So Not Worth the Money.

I’m sick.

(since yesterday) Fever, flu and an impending sore throat.

Yet I’ve been furiously typing away, squeezing dry all the creative (i.e crapping) juices, running around when I should be resting and lugging heavy bottles of wine back by bus and train just to save on cab fare.

*bleah*

I should have demanded for more moolah!
Especially since the client is now coming to poke her nose into the shoot.

*grumblegrumblegrumble*

On a happier note,
I think I’m one of those few who get their dream job and a job which actually earns money.
Thank God for everything because He planned it right from the start.
From getting the internship, to being semi-hired and now the job offer.
And something tells me I can only look forward to how He’s going to use me in this industry.

Snap back to reality,
please do pray for me as I’m exhausted, still have tons more things to prepare for tomorrow’s shoot (but thankfully it’s at my house!) and have to direct the shoot tomorrow (since when did I become the art director?).

BUT,
I will survive and give myself a well-deserved break on the weekend.

Everythingismessedup.

Pardon the emo title. Haha. It’s not life that’s messed up. Rather, its my thoughts. This post is gonna be nothing but random babblings hence the title. Hurhurhur.

Work – Who do the clients think they are huh! causing delays and refusing to revise impossible timelines. Geez. And the minions at the bottom are the ones who have to do all the work while those on top are so eagerly nodding their heads in agreement to these ridiculous deadlines without standing up for their minions! *grumblegrumblegrumble*. Then again, we are their minions for a reason.

iPod – Whoever said 4gb of space was enough. I constantly forget to charge my iPod, much less have time to keep updating and changing songs and playlists. Why didn’t I buy the 8gb. *grumblegrumblegrumble* Then I could have gotten the pink one!

iTunes – Scrolling through my iTunes, and recently hearing “there’s nothing in your iTunes I want to listen to”, I think it’s about time I went CD shopping. Yup. I’m gonna do the right thing and contribute to the already bursting pockets of these rich and famous artistes. They need to eat too right?

Clothes – It’s not fun always having to shop for work-safe clothes (even if my office wear is kinda like smart casual) and I want funky tshirts to wear during photo shoot days (covered up with a nice cardi or casual blazer if I have to go into the office first)! I work in the creative industry right. So I should be cool. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. *ahem* Gimmie gimmie gimmie Johnny Cupcake and Threadless tees!

Mobile Phone – Dear all, this or “cellular phone” is the correct term for that annoying gadget you carry with you everywhere you go. Not “handphone”. (Ok. End of English class.) With an increasing workload, I think its high time I made the switch from red to green. I would very much like to be a loyal reds-supporter but I need the free incoming and extra smses lah. Besides, dad gets more discounts for cable tv so its a win-win situation! I probably should get a new phone too, since mine is a grand old dame of 5 years old!
