My Working Life

Dear Kevin:

I guess I'll be mailing you my update on every weekend. Its something I usually do back in CG last time. It didn't go on long enough to become a habit back then, hopefully it will be one this time, cause its really a great way to keep track of myself.

Nothing much happened to me this week considering that I'm still jobless. Looks like the Samsung has switched to a different company which handles its HR department, and they gave me a call again about the opening for their new branch here in Keningau. She asked me to send in my resume. So I did and then thats that. No news after that.

Not putting my hope so high on Samsung, I did went to look for other jobs. I went back to my previous workplace and the job that could have been mine is already been given away to someone else. Well, its not a surprise to me since it took me awhile to give them an answer, but whats shocked me is what my previous HOD comments about me getting back my job there.

They had a small farewell for me when I decided to leave the company and my HOD gave a short speech about my work there. She gave out all the good stuff, about how hardworking I am, how willing I am to learn, my quality of work, and I am so moved by her speech. I do believe I am THAT good, haha.

Well I thought she really appreciate my work there, not until I heard what my friend in the office have to said to me. The HOD completely trash me in front of our manager, saying how worse I am and how my work is all half hearted. Its a complete bullshit, all my colleagues know that! I am really glad that someone stood up for me.




The only reason why I think the HOD did that is because I am way qualified enough to take her place. I am a treat to her. I am not bragging but thats what I think and what everyone there thinks too. She's been there for so long, no improvement and yet more feud than ever.

Its too bad that she already had some sort of mutual agreement with the manager about how she could hold on to the position no matter how terrible her work is. I know it makes no sense but thats the story that goes around the company. So by default, the HOD is untouchable.

She's the one who in a hurried recommended just about anyone to take up the opening there, just to prevent me from going back into the company. You know, the funny thing is that I always stood up for her no matter what all the bad things that people said about her in the company, cause I don't judge a person just from what people are saying about them. Seriously, no heart feeling Ms Alisiah. Thanks for teaching me a valuable lesson in life.

So, Kev... talking about in the world and not of the world... reality is never easy. I end up filling a form to work in a place like 7E, for RM450-RM500 a month and I might have to work a graveyard shift. I guess its much better than staying at home with no income at all. Well, still didn't know if I got the job or not.

Pray for me brother, and hopefully I could save up enough money to buy my way out of here, haha. I guess that's just about it this week.

Until the next mail, bye for now =)

Yours truly:
