unemployment is surprisingly appealing. Thursday, November 15, 2007

I'm actually really glad that I'm not working any more.

Yeah that sounds really stupid in a "lol rich kid" kind of way (which is totally not true by the way), but working at Mandarin Oriental is an ultra tough job that requires you to wake up at 5am, go home in the evening, catch up with your life in about 1 or 2 hours before you go to sleep early so you can wake up at 5am the next morning. Plus, if you have a floor i/c straight from hell, your job is a whole lot worse. A whole lot lot lot lot lot worse. And I mean it in a totally honest way.

I had a great day at work today- had fun, talked a lot of rubbish to the guy who our nicer, other floor i/c describes as "the one who talks a lot of crap" (he even asked one of the business execs to sit on the table where the coffee machine was when she said asked if there was any place to rest. -.=??!), and in fact, our whole lvl 8 staff was having much more fun. Guess why? Our hyper-cruel floor i/c LX-123ABCDE didn't come!*

The bottom line: Getting a job is NOT as hip and that some people make it out to be.
The cancelled out line below the bottom line: Unless you work as a Orthopaedic surgeon and operate on bones like the spine and the hip.

Is the good life better than the life I live
When I thought that I was gonna go crazy
And now my grandmamma ain't the only girl calling me baby
And if you feeling' me now then put your hands up in the sky
And let me hear you say aye, aye, aye, ooh
I'm good.
