I WAITED A WHOLE WEEK TO DO MY LAUNDRY. BE CONSIDERATE AND WAIT YOUR TURN. MY CLOTHES WERE NOT EVEN DRY. YOU'RE WELCOME.

That's what I wrote on a sheet of paper, for this bitch who took my clothes (which were not even done spinning in the dryer) out and put them on the filthyass washing machine.

I turned off the dryer dial. Wouldn't let my hands touch anywhere near those filthy clothes.

Karma's a bitch. And it's no good to be on the receiving end, when I'm on the other.

How was work, you ask?

So I recently started my job.

It deals with so much money I found only one way to explain what I do.


~I am a perpetual Monopoly banker.~

Guilt, but happy guilt. If that's possible.

Firstly, I just realised that HOTDOG SONG became my 400th post. Hee hee hee.

Right.

Then hior, (for stalkers, ahem, you know who you are) I got the job at Westpac. YAY!! I will be starting in 2 weeks. So fast lo. Suddenly all the plans I have made are crumbling. I have to miss things, and skip things, and say no to things. Cause I'm a working girl now, babeh.

So right, the happy guilt part. I promised, well, not promised lah, more like told, Mr Miller (my bakery boss) that I would be free to work. And he actually needed me to work full time from the week of 23rd onwards. The exact same week that I am starting in Westpac. I was the only person left that week onwards to work, since everyone else is leaving for summer. And now, I can't too. I feel really really really really really really really bad.

At first I asked Westpac if I could start on the 30th of November, give time for me to sort things out, since I'm moving out, and to allow Mr Miller time to find someone, or figure out that no one's needed, something along those lines. Then I called Westpac back to ask if there're complications if I decide to start later. The HR person says it is entirely up to me, but they would prefer if I started with the rest of the new recruits. And then I thought, I would somehow be disadvantaging myself by starting a week later. Career-wise, that's not a smart decision. Loyalty-wise, it's quite mean to just leave Mr Miller in the lurch like that.

So in the end, I went for the career-wise option. It's mighty selfish of me, but sometimes in life, hard decisions have to be made.

Oh, and I will have to make a really bad career-wise decision to take leave during my first month (and it's still training period, I haven't even really worked yet) for graduation. I wouldn't miss graduation of my dear friends for the world.

So, it really is a whole medley of happy-sad-joy-guilt-hope feelings right now. While Westpac is a good stepping stone, I still hope that DREAM JOB is what I will end up with. Nevertheless, I will give my all to working happily in Westpac.

I made my choice, I feel like a royal backstabber, and I just have to live with that.

For exam destressing.

Hotdog song

*dances the hula*

I went to work today. And yes, that sure sounds mighty normal, EXCEPT, today is Family and Community Day (read: Public Holiday)!

And public holiday means....DOUBLE TIME (or double time and a half)!!!

And THAT means I either earned $40 an hour today or $50 an hour today, AND I WORKED SIX WHOLE HOURS!!!

I finally know how it feels to earn holiday pay. It feels GOOOOOOOOODDD....

And then Westpac called, and I'm going in on Tuesday for my second and final interview, and I'm meeting with the Regional Manager lo! Hope I get this one, definitely a good stepping stone to THAT DREAM JOB.

And then I now also have a night job - working for Fang Yeau in his restaurant. Pay isn't much I think, but it's $$$, I fill up my nights and I get fed yummy food. =)

SO, like I said before, everything's going well. And THAT DREAM JOB would make life heaven. Of course, having a place to stay next year would also help immensely.
