- Tragic!
I almost forgot my login ID and password for my blogger account! How could I! Your brain will fail on you if you don't keep using it to perform activities, such as, logging in to numerous internet accounts. Especially so, when you have different identities ans password for all. But, I still managed to login though! Not that old, yet.
I have so much to blog about each day but I can't seem to find sufficient time for my daily activites. Needless to say, time for blogging. Blogging can sometimes take up several hours of your days due to consolidating photos and structuring entry so much so that, readers don't get lost reading halfway. And, lucky blog! I can't sleep and therefore, I am here to "bring you back to live" once again.
This entry will be a all words entries summarizing happenings from the past few months till the very recents and things that have been suppressing within me which I would very much appreciate you to stand my long story below. Photos will come later though. =)
Talking about "things that have been suppressing within me". Yes, this does sounds like something pretty negative and it is! I would urge girls who works with this company for events to take note.
Basically, I have worked several part-time events in August and September for A u s t r a l i a W i n e I n d e x (have to type it this way so that my blog entry won't appear if people were to google or yahoo it; you get what i mean) So, this company does investment in W i n e and I was hired to be part of their I n v e s t F a i r to be surveyor. The pay is attractive with pretty good commission and a great working environment. Things were pretty normal and we (same part-time position girls) realised that these w i n e brokers are hardcore smokers. Not only that, they are also hardcore beer fans! And, all these happened while working. They simply buy beers ( large quantity) and sit around and drink. They will just stop if they have customers to attend to. The best part is, it is the sales director who will usually initiate of drinking beer! Sounds cool, right? We get to drink red wine while we work too. What a great job! But, on the other side of it, what does this reflect on the company itself? To me, it doesn't seem to be a good idea to have half drunk employees serving prospects and drinking in public within your booth itself. Well, the sales director wouldn't care! Cos, he didn't fork out a single cent but instead was put in-charge for this company while the real bosses where from overseas. That's why. This fair was pretty smooth and we get paid.
Then, me and several part-timers took up similar job with this company for a roadshow. This is the turning point for this whole long naggy story. The sales director (SD) started to flirt around with Gloria and me. ( in his own way which we didn't realised it was flirting as we thought he was quite a gentleman) He's married with 2 very young kids ( Like 2 years old and the other was even younger) The wife and kids came on the first day but none of us could figure out who was the father of the children as it was too packed within and outside the booth.
On the second day, the SD got hold of my number and several times asked me out for a movie like this, " hey, we go catch a movie want?"
I was like, " I am not usually free."
He then replied, "How about now? I still pay you your pay but we go watch movie. How about that? 3pm?"
Me, thinking it was a joke, gave him a smile and walked off to continue with my duties.
Later in the evening, his wife came with the kids again and this time we were pretty sure they were his but there were still queries within us. Oh well, who cares! Night came and most of the brokers left, including the SD. As they all left togther with different people playing with the kids all the time, we still didn't come to a conclusion as to who's the dad. Then came knock-off time for all of us. While walking to the bus-stop with my sis (we worked together btw) my phone rang with an unknown number. It was the SD and
I was totally totally confused when he asked," How are you?"
Me : huh? I thought I just saw you like 1 hour ago?
SD Jerk : ya and that's why I am asking you how are you for the past 1 hour.
Me still confused but replied: not bad, same. Is there anything you want for calling?
Jerk: where are you?
Me, suspecting something: walking over to bus-stop.
Jerk: where exactly?
Me: somewhere near. why?
Jerk: don't take bus first. I send you home.
Me: huh? I thought you left?
Jerk: I am reaching. Come back to send you home.
Me: oh don't have to you know. go back. bus is very convenient for me.
Jerk: hey c'mon I came back for you leh. even mickey don't have the previllege ok.
(mickey is in-charge of marketing)
Me, fuck you then you can jolly well go fetch him since he's still around: oh ok then you send him home. he is still around.
jerk: c'mon I am reaching already.
Me: I am with my sister.
Jerk: it's ok. tell me your location.
Me: just go home.
(my sister feeling as pissed as me)
Jerk: please just tell me
IT JUST WENT ON AND ON FOR A GOOD 10 MINUTES
I don't want to have a nasty last day of work so I gradually agreed to it since i have my sis with me and i have planned with my sis to fake our address. we made him dropped us at another location not far from home which he really thought is our block. smartass me. ha..
ok. once we alight, messages came in from him trying to ask me out for some alone time since his carefully planned personal time with me failed with my sis around. He went on to demo his power as a SD saying, " I know you will be tired so tomorrow you sleep till noon. I will excuse you. so how bout we go for a drink now?" bla bla bla... rejected all the way.
At about 12 am my phone rang, didn't know was his number, so picked it up. Female voice. weird. She started to question me and she intro herself as his wife.
Me: he told me he's divorced with kids
poor wife,i pity her: *sobs. what else did he said?
me: didnt said much
poor wife,i pity her: *sobs
(kids in the background playing)
I told her everything that has happened and found out that his wasn't his bloody first time doing this kinda thing to hurt his wife. I even asked her why don't you leave him. Well, she did file for divorce but he begged her to return hoping to give her kids a complete home. poor thing.. and, she couldn't stop crying all the way. I assured her that nothing will happen as i am attached.
It's hillarious yet frustrating cos i am being treated as a third party. It's also very unreal like some drama series. LOL.
the next day, i can't bring myself to work for this kinda jerk and i warned Gloria too. Gloria, Jasmine, my sis and I couldn't work. Gloria and Jasmine were sent home at 4 pm. I requested to leave early and was granted cos Mickey knew.
Mickey: you alright?
Me: what do you think?
Mickey: it's ok la. i understand.
Me: smile
Mickey: so next fair?
Me: shakes head with a bitter smile
Mickey: cos of this?
Me: nods.
That's all folks! don't work for jerks! I know it all sounds very unprofessional but human do have feelings. I just can't stand this kinda asshole who packaged himself like a gentleman but it's all not him at all!
Ok im sleepy now! night.. yawn! IT'S SO LATE NOW!
