Why do I need to job hunt around Pavi ? I hate that building, plus I swore never to step in there on the account of it being the site of my old school ( BBGS ) and the sole reason I was deprived of a BBGS tradition and historical education. - Absolutely unjust. Besides, I totally don't need a job. I need more time....
But JL, aka SL's best friend, wanted to go TOPLESS, sorry, TOPSHOP to look for a job. So okay, being the loyal friend I strive to be, I followed her and together we must have irritated half the sales assistants in the entire building. We went to almost 10-15 shops....' do you have a vacancy ?? ' , ' hi, we're looking for a job ', ' wow, we saw the sign outside and we'd love to apply ' , etc...
The best line of the day goes to ESPRIT. The conversation went like this;
Steph Lee : " Hi, Harris ! " ( All perky and smiley and shop assistant potential-ey. )
Harris * Never met us before and didn't know who the heck we were * : Er... ( looking around and really sheepish, like he was trying to recall where he'd seen us before. Duh I'd know your name, you're wearing it on this gargartuan name tag ;P ^^ boys...)
Steph Lee : Oh no no, we've never met. We're actually looking for a job here and were
wondering whether you guys had a vacancy...
Harris : Oh, oh, okay, em..let me get you some forms.
* ** while STARING at JL's and my :::)::) and trying to chat us up. EWW....Such a Disgrace to your parents !!!! Who do you think we are, the cast of Reality Porn for Desperados ???? ***
Anyway, I've high hopes for Jenn !!! ( Fingers, Toes, and everything else crossed !!! )
TOPSHOP was okay, ESPRIT was pretty optimistic, MARC was sweet and encouraging,OH CHA CHA was the most serious and the first to talk about salary and commitment. starbucks was and still is such a disappointment. The rest were pleasant enough but TIMES Bookstore was the best in my opinion.
I had to write an essay to apply for TIMES, isn't that absolutely the BEST way of applying for a job for us bibliophiles ?!!!!!!? Yayzers !!!! *** Stephy Lee very very the happy. Totally blasted an essay in 3 mins flat !!!! *** Plus only 4 hours of work a day ! *** Gleefully dreaming of books,books,books ! To be near you, touch you, smell you, feel you, understand you, dive deep into you,..
( dreamily sighs while JL buys her --- magazine for her parents. Didn't even notice her absence, too engrossed in trying to convince them to pay me to molest the gorgeous books )
4 Interviews + Goodness knows how many job application forms + 3 hours of walking around niolivap + Meeting an old BBGS girl at Marc J + Live Jazz & Salsa Music + Best Friend + Tons of Gossip
= Productive outing
Anyone know of any jobs that'd allow me to work only Tues and Weds afternoons ?
I'm working whole of Mon and half of Thur and half of Sun, will be in Singapore on Fri's to Sat's and have to attend church on Sun mornings.
Oh, and have to find time to squeeze in Soul Fuel ( God / devotion / Bible study / quiet time, whatever ppl call it ) driving lessons, personal driving practice, own dance practice - VERY VERY IMPORTANT -, sleep, and meals ?
Should I even be committing to a job ???
Eh, we forgot to check out the telesales job at Prince Hotel !!! and all those job postings in the Star Classifieds !
Voice 8889 in Stephy Lee's head : Steph, you really shouldn't be so competitive
Voice 1104 in Stephy Lee's head : NO NO NO, GO FIND GO MAKE MORE MONEY
Voice 1212 in Stephy Lee's head : But for what, darling ? And at what expense ? Listen to logic's reason
Voice 1355 in Stephy Lee's head : Eh, you think money grows on trees ka ? budak mentah tak tau apa pun
And the whole dilemna.conflict.argument.quarrel.
