[[My jobs...]]
Damn busy with shit these days, mainly work and babysitting little Brendan, who specifically asked for me, haha... Dyed my hair a golden brown a couple of days back.. i'm turning into a beach boy poser..
Just got an email from iShop, asking me to go for part-timer's training, when they just email me last week that i'm temporarily off their work schedule. Guess i'm back in the game.. Shit, I have yet to read up about the Ipods and stuff..
Also, doing a job under Lion's ex-boss.. Selling some Singapore Pools prepaid card for phone betting during teh World Cup.. I'm like promoting gambling la sia.. I don't know how is it that I land up with such awkard jobs.. Firstly, I work at iShop when I don't own a single product of that brand. Secondly, I am a non-gambler who sells some gambling device. How ironic... In both situations, I'm like a bloody fish out of water... It's like the same when I first went into my Int Branch. I know I will pull through some day. I am an interest driven person. If I have the desire to take this first step into shit, I will make sure I can thread on it..
Frankly, I have absolutely no interest, or whatsoever in this Prepaid Card job.. This is but a stepping stone for me to achieve something else. This boss has many lobangs, some of which include IT fairs. Thus, if I were to perform in this job now, I may stand a chance to be posted to do IT shows, which is my aim.. Sometimes, if you really want something, you have to take a longer route. Hmmm.. I'm not sure why I'm doing this. I'm not doing this for the money, not that I have lots of it either. I always had this thing for electronic gadgets. Having an electronics sales job will bring me closer to my objects of desire.. And I want to seize this opportunity to improve my linguistic skills, to learn a thing or two and to gain experience. My parents have already set me back a few years in terms of being streetwise. I don't want to grow up a blur-fuck. If I am not going to fight for myself, no one will.
Did the Card job for 2 days only. First at Raffles Place on THurs and yesterday at Marina Sq.. Made my first sales only yesterday.. I was lucky, the guy had already intended to get one.. However, it did made me feel a little happy when boss told me that I clinched the first deal of the day, despite starting 2 hrs later than the rest.. I will push forth more tomorrow.. Chanced upon Granddaughter's toy store where she works on Thurs.. Her friend was working that day.. A customer happened to be asking about the PSP when I was queueing to buy something.. As if instinctively, I sort of butted in and explained the product, and the customer continued to enquire about the warrenty and stuff. Damn, it was shiok knowing a product and being able to advice the consumer on it.. Of course, I got too carried away.... I wasn't even selling PSP.. Come on Sony.. It's your tragic loss that you are not hiring me... I'm sure even your CEO wouldn't mind a surge in the Quarterly figures... Hahaha.. on top of getting a thrilled about knowing a product, I get to help Gdaughter's cute friend.. Haha.. siao
