Had a brief convo with my babe just now. His message on MSN was, "so bored....." which led me thinking... if he was so bored, how come he didn't call me to hang out or whatever?
Anyway, that wasn't sweet but he complained that I didn't pick up his call, and I protested that I didn't receive no call. In the end he said, "What happens if it was an emergency and I could only call you once??" *Awww*
I thought that was sweet. (Even though he could have tried calling a few more times, or tried calling my other number...) But at least he picks up my calls - even if he doesn't really talk when he does... ;P
Spent last night watching Lord of the Rings 1 (and 2 this morning after meeting with school councellor for Jack). The time spent allowed me to reminise how much I loved the movie and the happy feeling of lazing around at home. Too often have I been running in and out, driving here and there. The couple of hours vegetating was just what I needed to re-engergise myself. :)
It's a bit frustrating being a graduate and unemployed. Okay, so technically I am working, just not a "proper" job. My parents keep nagging and it's taking its toll on me. I feel sad.
Finally received this thick package from the Department of Consumer Protection and I thought to myself, Hey maybe I got through the first round... Instead it was a letter informing me that the receptionist position was already filled and that I was rejected. The letter further detailed all this crap about procedures I could take if I felt that it was an unfair selection process and who I could call for feedback on why I was rejected blah blah...
A graduate and rejected for a receptionist position. Am I over qualified? Under qualified?
Man, I wish peoples would give me a break. Yes, I have no work experience in the business field. So now what? Am I doomed to hospitality for the rest of my life because of this lack of experience? Even people in the hospitality industry have all these qualifications now... An example, on my first day at Rydges orientation, this other girl rocked up and one of the first things she said to me was, "So what qualifications do you have?" and taken aback, I stammered, "Um, well I just worked in Burswood..." and my voice trailed off in the distance as confidence was shattered...
Maybe I should call that number and enquire why they didn't choose me. But do I really want to know the truth???
The wonders of documentation!! I got my payslip last night. Ripped into it and discovered some good news... I am NOT earning $13.85, instead I am earning $14.37/hour!! Not too bad, eh??
But the bittersweet news of a $100 deduction for my uniform led me to the verge of tears!! I mean, come on... uniforms should be provided for free. Especially since it is nothing fancy... just a black button up shirt and nothing else. We're expected to provide the other half of the uniform... our own black pants... So uniforms should be FREE!!! FREEEEEE I tell ya!
And did I mention the fact that I only got ONE black shirt???? So $100 is wayyyyy too expensive for ONE black shirt that attracts white fluffy stuff. How annoying. *grumble grumble*

Still on a bothersome note, I am turning 24 in 3 days.
Enough said.
=(
Getting old and still haven't accomplished nothing...
Getting old and still running around in circles trying to find myself. No correction, trying to justify trying to find myself.
How have I improved as a person? How am I a valuable being in this world? Who am I? I can't party as hard as I used to. I value my rest and sleep time more than anything else. I look bad in photos. My skin is terrible. Will my nose ever stop growing? Will my belly ever stop growing? When will I learn to be punctual? When will I find a non-hospitality, non-food related job? When will I get married? Will I get married? When will I/we buy a house? When will I learn to appreciate wine? When will I be completely content with myself?
See what happens when 24 comes knocking around the corner? Aiiii...
... I am freakin' poor-ass! I don't know whether Rydges made an error or I made some addition errors cos I only got paid...
... no wait for it...
... it's freakin' scary...
... I'm being exploited...
... a graduate still in hospitality earning...
*CRINGE*CRIES*
... $126.97!
WTF????!!!!!!!
$126.97 for 16.75 hours of work. Can it be true??? I worked it out with my trusty calculator and it works out to:7.58029... Even if I round it up that's just a measly $7.60 an hour!!!!
OMFG!!!!!!!!
I was expecting a pay rate of $13.85/hr, thus I expected at least (see I even rounded down so I wouldn't get too excited... 13x16.75hrs) $217.75... They short-paid me $90.78!!! And to be precise, $13,85 x 16.75 hrs = $231.9875... So in actual fact, they were off by $105.01!!!!!
What happened??? What to do?????????
Even if they were deducting money for my uniform, I only got 1 x shirt and it can't possibly be over $50 right? I mean I already paid for my locker key with $10 cash and I can't think of anything they could possibly be deducting... Even tax can't be that much considering I only earnt $1.98 over the $230 limit?? Oh I don't even know how to rationalise it anymore... *sigh* Must bitch tonight to Alex and the room service crew... Then call Mags and then call Rydges and complain and demand for an explanation!!!!
POOEEEEEEEYYYYYYYY!!!! *cries*
Miss Japan Universe 2006 [Kurara Chibana]
Jap Fever! She is so kawaii, she's HOT!!! I wish I looked like her!! *droolz*
I suck at PAINT edits!! ;P
Wow.. Where to start leh??
HAPPY 23RD BIRTHDAY MY DARLING CHATTY KATHY! You are my sunshine, my Red Bull, my lil Energiser Bunny.I hope you have an absolutely fantabulous day!May you get those Marc Jacobs, may you get those LVs, may you get those Boogurlarries (;P).HAHAHAHASmile and enjoy!*smoochez*
Since 19th July I became one of the latest additions to the Rydges crew. (Gotta give big thanks to my darling, Maggie Mee who pulled a few strings here and there to get me the job! *CuDdLeZ*) The conditions: a part-timer & the sole member of Club Lounge. Woopeee.
My first week was to be honest, utterly sh*t. I found some peeps there were pretentious little pricks 'n' bitches - absolutely no sense of compassion or even just heard of the word, "nice".
An instance that pissed me off was hearing just about everyone tell me just what a slack-ass of a job I landed and how I don't do shit all...
And yes, the job is "easy" in that there aren't many VIPs who turn up and I only work for a total of 3 hours per shift. In addition, I have the TV (which can be changed to NovaFM and even the ABCstation!! hahaha) to watch, a coffee machine, the fridge for juices AND cocktail food each night... I suppose I even have lollies if Mentos counts... :p BUT being the goodie-two-shoes that I am and love to be, I have hardly been touching or abusing my priviledges. I just switch the channel to BB06 when noone is around! Other than that, I haven't been drinking anything from the fridges (e.g. fruit juice... not alcohol you guys!!!) or even the coffee machine!!! I've truly been a grade A++ employee!!
And to those pricks 'n' bitches, get over yourselves. You're just jealous cos I got the job you couldn't get. ;P
Anyhoooo, second week in, and it has improved. People are opening up and the room service crew and a few peeps from other departments are friendly and chatty to me - so work isn't as bad as it felt before. :)
Other than that, parking stresses me out a tad (dun wan get no ticket and definately dun wan park further than Murray Street cos walking is a bitch!) and the change from having my uniform washed and taken care of from Burswood to not having such priviledges also sucks. And don't get me started on pay... More updates later...
*****************************************
House sitting for my Aunty in her Como home from 15th - 24th July. This time round, we didn't put the house to much use actually. Such a big change from last time as it was one hellova party hearty week!
This time there were days/nights where I spent alone - reflecting and moping and thinking and washing and cleaning and all the usual stuff. Other nights I was accompanied by Kat and Mags - fun times even though the majority of the week was spent away from the house working every single night of the week!
I have noticed that I am a tad richer... NOT yet but getting there... hauhauhauauuhaha (that's my positive thinking kicking in there) BUT I have noticed that I've lost that "I-so-desperately-wanna-go-out" sorta feeling - which I must add is great! *pat pat on my back* Though I must add, that I am not a perfect being, so there are still times when I wish to let my hair down and go crazy, and that I miss my babe and love to hang out with him and our friends - definately not over that side of going out but I am sure you all get my drift...
Maybe working so much has also taken a toll on me. Maybe working so much has also finally motivated me to start saving some of it - not just towards our holiday but also towards the rest of my life. I do intend to be a home owner some time in the not too distant future... Though $13.85/hour does seem dismal and that hope seems to be further out of my reach... But, I remain hopeful. I remain optimistic. :)
BUT before the hand-over back to my Aunty, we din lose the last opportunity to partayyy... Finally late, late on the Friday night, after work, after Hitz with Kat, and a not-so-great time at Geisha Bar, Jimmy and the happily married couple (Dom and Sophia) came over and we partied allllllllllll through the night (what was left of it) and alllllllllll through the day... until we could not party no more!!
We had good fun but I swear in the back of my mind, all I could think of was: how crap I was gonna look afterwards (horrible, horrible bags under the eyes!! NOOOOOO!) AND the after effects of pee-less night (I trust Dom had that same thought running through his mind too?? :P)!! Don't you just hate that??! Especially when I'm usually the type who pees every 5 minutes!!
One regret: Not taking any photos!! But the memories will always stay with me!! Couple-funtimes!! YAYYYYY!
*****************************************
Talking about dismal, the weather is absolutely crap. I just came back in from hanging out some clothes under the patio and it was hella windy outside and it started to rain. Pooey. :( Luckily, I don't feel too gloomy. Usually the weather plays a part on my mood - glad today it hasn't. Must be the effect of Kathy's birthday. It's all smiles and goodies today!!
