PISSED

DO NOT LOAD ME WITH MORE WORK. I HAVE 5 FREAKING PROJECTS TO WORK ON, AND I DO NOT NEED ANYONE TO TELL ME TO "DO THIS PLEASE" OR "ADD THAT PLEASE". I DON'T SEE WHY I HAVE TO DO YOUR JOB FOR YOU WHILE YOU CHAT ON THE PHONE AND GO FOR LONG LUNCH BREAKS.

-deep breath-

I'M INTERNING HERE, I'M NOT SOME CHEAP LABOUR YOU EXPLOIT WHILE YOU HAVE YOUR FUN, DAMN IT.

-yes, the caps are intentional.-

i hate it.

NNOOOOOOOOO..........

Bleah. Just when I'm super happy to go to SMU, I now have to seriously contemplate whether to go overseas.

Thank you Singapore Land Authority.
Thank you International Enterprise Singapore, for torturing me for the next 2 days with wondering if you like me.

Thank you brain, for working hard to make a coherant decision out of this mess.

BLAH.

wurt.

in a real twist of the story, IE singapore just called me for my interview 2 days later. i wonder it's cuz i'm interning at IE that they extended this courtesy. from what i've heard, the final interviews were to be held last thursday and friday.

on the plus side, the HR manager did not call my office number, but my handphone number. though the first thing she asked was if i was still interning at IE. i'm mystified. imagine someone calling you when you're deep in thought about indonesia's infrastructure and seaport system (written, happily, in english) and be brought back to reality.

on the minus side, i'm all set and happy to go to SMU. my parents and relatives in particular are much much happier at the prospect of me staying (they'll miss me too much...hahah!!!)

on the balanced side (don't know how else to call it), it's just an interview. i may not get the scholarship, so i'm worrying about nothing at all. treat it as 2 hours off work? (i wonder f i have to take no pay leave for this...hurhur). the HR manager happily mentioned, "oh, you'll know where the interview is. 10 floor" yup, thanks i'm so acquainted with the IE system already -bows-

am i supposed to be glad i haven't rejected oxford yet?

oh whatever. back to indonesia and her logistics infrastructure. i've got work to do.

reminder to self

Bake cookies for my colleagues and staff at IE. Colleagues = 7, coffee auntie, toilet cleaner, Casey from EMD and Michelle from HR. Total = 11

Sorry if no one comprehended it. It's really a note to self.

Oh but anyway, does anyone want cookies? Suggest a flavour to bake, and I'll give you a portion too...haha...bribery.
