again, my name is not on the list.
even after feedback to the hr mgr (who, incidentally, won the mgr of the yr award) i have yet to see my name appear on any of the courses which i have attended, and which they have put in my schedule. this is really pissing me off, on top of the way my salary payment is handled. the other 3 got informed weeks in advance how they were to receive their cheque, and when, while i only got to know today(!) when the hr called and ask me where can she direct the cheque to, when the others have already received theirs on the 15th.
over and over, the incompetency of the hr dept reali manifests itself. no communication at all. i'm starting to feel not valued in the eyes of the mgt, despite my pleasant (or near pleasant, considering the xmas catalogue incident with mariah and boss) stay in store, i'm in 2 minds whether to continue. changing my schedule 3, 4 times, not including me in the briefing bef mtg with ceo, not calling me abt it after feedback (she claimed that she didnt have my number when she was the one who recruited me in the first place, and anyway how hard it is to GET my hp no???), not including my name in the courses and i have to explain to each trainer over and over again, getting my pay later then others (and apparently, my name was not even under the email sent out with regards to the cheque payment for ETP mgt trainees!)
if such incidents keep happening, i am so gonna vote with my feet and take my talent elsewhere.
cheers!

i enjoy working at store, but i hate to go home late! need to brush up more on my language skills esp malay and hokkien.. as well as how to deal with irate customers..
i think my environment is very learner-friendly.. i have learnt alot, and the bosses give me opportunities to deal with customers as well as tips on store operations. some ppl feel that its not good that a couple are in the same line of work, but i think the experience so far has been pretty good. perhaps not in the exact same line but a complementary one?
shall see how it goes..
and, seems like the no. of thieves these days are increasing..

some people are really ridiculous, esp ppl who attack ppl whom they've never met/seen bef. i cant believe such people exists..
and i am doing some deep thinking with regards to faces and masks at work.. i'm really bad at dealing with barbed attacks. coz i'm not sure whether they are doing it on purpose, or just joking. haha. i'm not sure if its coz i'm sensitive, or just really out of it.
anyway, another 2 days bef going to store! time to stand whole day!
p/s: read "a thousand splendid suns" yesterday and i totally teared at the last part where jalil wrote a letter begging forgiveness from miriam! it is so sad.. at least this novel is not as disgustingly graphic as "the kite runner". the higher level of violence turned me off, though the storyline and plot was riveting.
cheers, off to sleep!
and, i hate heels! makes my knee pain

watched the anime "graves of the fireflies" a war time storyline.. it really touches the heart. highly recommended!!
i am so gonna buy dan brown's "the lost symbol"! everybody is reading it. i dun wanna be lagging behind heh.
and, weighing myself at the airport the other day, i have gained weight!! omg. i (almost) cant believe it! and having a deskbound(?) job would surely make matters worse..
i reali reali reali feel the inertia of starting work..
came across this http://www.datingish.com/712214534/the-types-of-guys-you-find-at-an-engineering-school/
and i reali agree!!! Type 1 is super prevalent. i always hate it when i have an opinion/idea to share but these guys just totally ignore me or think my idea sucks even before i open my mouth! pigs.. but the world has alot of such guys. ESPECIALLY in engineering, where boys are touted to be better.
type 4 exists too, but as the article points out, most are attached. hmm, i WONDER why. in a sea full of MCP guys, who wouldn't snap up these fishes?? on a side note: thanks mike for the short chat! i'm glad that i've frens like him :)
type 5 needs more time to warm up, but they are usually not so accomodating as type 4. type 5 will treat u like a kid brother, so not much help in the carrying stuff, buying food dept. BUT they are generally fun to be with, and care, up to a certain extent.
i've experienced 2,3 and 6 but they're not worth mentioning..
and all the guys usually can name and gossip about the top 5 prettiest girls in the cohort, coz the rest of us plain janes do not exist. unless u are in their clique. how shallow is that? ha! their eyes just slide over u like you're not there, macham invisible shield.
us girls usually know each other, by face or name, but we also tend NOT to hang out with each other, unless, we are the same clique. unfortunately, each clique usually consists of 2-3 girls max... (serious. i have not seen a clique in mae where there are more than 3 girls as part of a group)
with that, signing of to watch reruns of fate/stay night!
