Grr

Yup, job officially sucks, but I guess I've talked about that in my previous entry, so I guess I don't have to talk about the retired grandpa who works as a temp. worker just like me, but does nothing but check documents, doesn't print, fax, fetch, but just sit his butt out and stay until 5.30pm even tho there's nothing for him to do.

So anyway, I'm so pissed right now! All my 500+ songs that I'd painstakingly downloaded from MIRC are gone! Not to mention my IMesh with its BTVS related downloads!

I bet its that fugging Microsoft Antispyware program he just got; went too high on the setting that deleted my MIRC sounds folder and IMesh program. Or maybe he just went bonkers and deleted my sounds folder, allowed the program to delete my IMesh and decided to clear it from his head. The point was, he INSISTED that he didn't do it! So who did? A poltergist? Riiggghtt. Grr!

All my songs! I'd found some really awesome ones recently, and I barely listened to them since I've been working. Who's gonna re-download the 500+ songs that I had? I'm sure he's not going to do it, nor will some of the songs still be there.

Sigh. Work sucks. Now life have to sucks too. I sorta cut work today and wanted to go to the polyclinic to get a MC, but the freakin' indian lady did not want to give me one. Pardon me, but I KNEW I won't get one from her when I took a peek, because Indians and Malays are SO racist towards people who aren't their race.

I mean, yea, maybe some of them had been treated that way by Chinese, but hello? No more now! It's really more racially equal now and they have to face up. She was just so cold-hearted when I felt terrible. I bet she'll give Indians any MC they need, man!

With that stupid clause in my contract that says I have to forfeit 1 month's pay(even tho I'm kind enough to do stuff that AREN'T stated in the contract, they aren't so kind) if I can't provide a MC for cutting work, I'm pretty much edgy and grouchy now. Not the best idea of a nice weekend.

Life really sucks. Last month, Mum went to a temple and er, you know, talked to those "Ji Tong", I don't know what they are called in English, but they say I'm in bad luck recently. I drank 5 burnt talisman in water and had diarrhoea everyday, and went to a temple to pray, so that my mum can have an ease of mind.

Then hey, things REALLY did seem to get better, but it's a sham. Or at least it was temporary. Life's back to the sucky factor for me now. Sigh. I just hope to get by 3months soon and quit the stupid job. I don't care what others say about me being a quitter or whatever, because hey, try working 9hours a day, 5 1/2days a week, be at 10people's beck and call, no leaves, no slack, no benefits, and get less than $650 a month. Try dealing with THAT!

Sweet Sunday

*Stretches* Ah~ It's the weekend. Finally a day that allows me to sleep late and wake up in the afternoon. It's beautiful lol.

I'd wanted to update on Friday night, or rather, Saturday morning, but I was soo tired after going out with them, I fell asleep immediately once I was on the bed.

'Cos you know why? We went to Sparks LOL! As usual, they heard that alot of 'cais' go there now since so many pubs in MS have closed down. Indeed, there were much more people in Sparks now then it used to be, and the girls there now are so HIONG! Seriously, it weren't what it used to be lol. Sparks used to be my 2nd home (No, I didn't regard Poly as my 2nd home =P) ever since I was 16. Now I'm just out of place there. Glad we moved on to ChinaBlack and Zouk =P

Anyway, I wrote this down on yellow sticky pad in office on Friday, so I guess I should type it in:-

"Something's wrong with me today... It is 10.10am, and I'm working as per norm, checking the application documents when James Marsters came into my mind, again. Those who followed my blog might have noticed my infactuation with him since a while ago, and I can't seem to curb it.

I thought I could satisfy this.. Hunger, by reading books that he has a part in, watching the TV shows & movies that he acted in, and listening to his music.

But no, this feeling, almost like nostalgia, hit me pretty hard today. I could barely concentrate on work, and my mind is like intoxicated and practically spinning off purely his images.
In fact, this train of thoughts are being written by me now, on yellow stick pads on my workdesk.


I'm having a little problem maintaining a normal breathing pace. Let's hope I'm just unwell.

Even tho my hands and eyes are checking and marking the documents (But relatively slower), I have this overwhelming feeling that my mind, conscious and sub-conscious alike, are ONLY swimming with thoughts and images of J.M.

I smile his distinctive smile when I see something funny, tilt my head often,unconsciously, just like the way he did in BTVS.

I'm having it BAD. VERY VERY BAD. I've never had... This longing so bad before. It's both sensual and scary.

Does anyone has this experience before? Share with me, but don't mock me and call me mad. Don't judge me if you don't know me. You will know how real it feels, how real it IS, if you were in my shoes.

I wish I can make enough money soon enough to fly over to America to see him in a performance or anything, to satisfy this hunger.

It's killing me slowly... "

Yea that was all *blush* It's kinda embarassing to share on the Net, but I won't deny I felt that way. I'm sure I'm not the only one. *Sigh*

SLEEPY!

Man... It's only 11.40pm now. I got tired since 10pm+! -_-"

Anyway, as you can see from my previous entry, I've finally gotten a job! Not the best kind there is, if I wanna name out the bad points of it, I'll prolly go into a temper, but I guess it'll do, lol.

I'm working at LTA (that's your gov. sector Land Transports Authority for you) but it isn't a biggie position. Fancy designation, Service Support Officer, but my job scope is more like OA, office assistant or an Admin Assist.

Sure, I handle green forms, car insurance and some COE calculation etc, but I also need to do Ad Hoc stuff, things the "colleagues" who work there ask me to do. The reason why I put " " is because I'm purely referred to as a temp. staff. Even when I'm on a 1 year contract.

Pretty basic job scope tho. Pick up faxes, print stuff, check documents etc. It's more boring than tiring. What's tiring is waking up 7am in the morning. *Yawns~*

Other than that, the job basically sucks. The pay, ugh, $5/hr, not a monthly basis one, so go figure. I get SOO little per month, I'd rather go back to MacDonald's. A full time 6days week sales job without CPF might get me about TWICE the pay I'll be getting for this job. Moreover, I am entitled to, well, NO benefits what so ever, meaning no 7-14 days of leave in a year, not alternate Saturdays work week aka FULL 5.5days week.

It's all because of my agent. She seems so nice and bubbly, I let her mislead me. She missed out all the bad things that I should know and keep answering my doubts quickly (but unclearly) so I give up asking after asking repeatedly for the 2nd - 3rd time. The contract she made me sign said that I only have to work alt Saturdays, and start at 8.30am on Saturdays instead of 8, etc etc.

I guess I'll have to make do with it for awhile. I'll at least have that 1 year experience I need for other Admin Assist. etc's jobs for the future. Government jobs = low pay, stable career.

Life... *Sigh*
