HOLY MOTHER OF COW.
Last week I started my first job EVS! WHO WOULDA THUNK IT!?
::runs around in glee . . . in slow-mo because I’m dead tired::
Thanks to Alisha (_melee_ a.k.a. my English Idol slash God) for getting me the job (it’s nice to have friends, isn’t it? ^_^). I didn’t have to be interviewed or turn up with a resume or anything. I just turned up and started working. So, yay!
But, the irony? =P I dropped out of school. You all remember this, right? I dropped out because I had . . . issues. But I will forever cling to the fact that I was coming 1st in both English Extension I and II. *cough* Dropping out was easily the worst thing that has happened in my life (thus far). So, I dropped out after the first semester of Year 12, before I was to take the HSC (SAT equivalent). The institute in charge of the HSC is the Board of Studies.
. . .
I now do clerical work for the Office of the Board of Studies (OBOS). =P
Oh I lurrrve eet! =)
I get paid AU$17.62 (US$13.51) an hour. This gives me a thrill (OH HOW I GLOAT), as I know most (if not all) of my friends get paid AU$8~AU$12 an hour. I love it. XD; BAD COMPETITIVE KANDI! D:
My work is awfully easy . . . it feels like I’m doing Work Experience! Back in Year 10 I did work experience for one week at HMV Australia and one week at All Phones. But then I guess that makes sense, because work experience is to give you the experience of work, right? XD I just thought it would be harder, that’s all. =P I, like, slept in my chair for an hour today (my boss told me to “relax”! =P) . . . sometimes, I swivel around in my chair to pass time. But that gets me dizzy. Yeah. D:
Today was my seventh day of work! Last week . . . I worked for SIX days. -_- Monday to Saturday. I only got yesterday (Sunday) off all week! >_< Monday to Friday I woke up at 5:30 AM to start work at 8:00 AM and finish at 3:30 PM. I get a half hour lunch break . . . at 1 PM. -_- Why? BECAUSE ALISHA EATS AT 1:30 PM and we "compromised" to eat at 1 PM! I FREAKIN' STARVE BY 10 AM! =P
On Saturday I woke up at 6:30 AM to start work at 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM . . . BUT IT WAS A DAMN SATURDAY. T_T I got paid Time and a Half for the first two hours and then Double Time for the remaining hours -- which is the only highlight. =P
Sunday . . . I mostly slept. CAN YOU BLAME ME? I've never worked in my life then when I get a job I work for six days straight! =P And today (Monday) . . . I worked overtime. -_- I get paid Time and a Half for overtime, which is good, I guess . . . but man, I finished at 6:30 PM and I was afraid of getting raped, LOL. =P
But there's more! Tomorrow . . . I'm working overtime again. T_T Pray I don't get raped! =P
Actually, it wasn't that bad. =P There were plenty of people around. XD And wow, as I walked out of work, I saw so many asians. Little typical asian girls. Like, WTF? o_o Do they all come out at night? Do they all want to get raped? LOL.
It was weird, though! I saw so many people who looked like my friends! I walked out and saw this girl and was like "Hey, she looks like May!", but she wasn't. =P Then as I got into the train station, I bumped into Diana!

She's the one in the middle. =P GUESS WHO I AM? Or don't. ^_^
I pointed a finger at her like the freak I am and went "You!". XD She looked at me for a second before her mouth formed an "o". XD The last time I saw her was at the Liverpool train station last year back when I went to school and she went to TAFE . . . so it's been a while. =P
She had a hawaiian necklace thingy on and she was with this blond guy. I would've checked him out (as I have a thing for blonds *cough*) but I was too entranced with Diana. TRUE FRIENDS! rofl. =P
She told me she does Promotions Work! I have no idea what that is so I just nodded and smiled and might have even let out a "cool". =) We talked for a total of, oh, about twenty seconds . . . TRUE FRIENDS. rofl. I think she was missing her train. =P (THAT OR SHE HATES ME, GASP!)
Then when I went downstairs to wait for my train I saw a thousand (possible exaggeration) look-a-likes of Anita! Katy! Lillian! AND A SCARY HYBRID OF ANITA AND NINA! . . . Asians must all look the same. XD
When I got on the train I thought someone looked like a girl who used to be in one of my classes at Liverpool Girls'. When we got off at the same station I knew it was her! But she's not my friend so I suppose she doesn't count. =P
I got home at around 8:15'ish . . . I hate how it takes me an hour and a half to get to and from work -- three hours of travelling in total! =( Actually, travelling to and from work is the only thing I hate about my job. o_O
If OBOS was right next door to me I'd work there forever and stay happy. XD
Oh, my little (okay, she's freakin' taller than me T_T) 17 year old sister picked me up from the train station . . . IN HER NEW FREAKIN' CAR. She got a car today. A black one. A Mitsubishi FTO, she tells me (whatever the hell that is -- she tells me it's a sports car . . . though the only thing that "FTO" makes me think of is Kanjani8's album, rofl). I googled it! "Information about the Mitsubishi FTO from Japan.". JAPAN! I guess that's a plus! XD I clicked on the first link and THERE WAS HER CAR ON THE FRONT PAGE! D:
http://www.mitsubishi-fto.org/
Here's actual pictures of HER car (NO THAT'S NOT OUR STREET!):
I didn’t say anything about it, but I think it’s freakin’ cool. XD; I don’t plan to tell her that, though — I’m just mean. =)
My family consists of five people. My Mum, Dad, older brother, me, and little sister. We have four cars. Everyone but me has a car. Everyone but me has their full driver’s license. XDDD
I AM INCOMPETENT, OKAY. =)
Back to the job! This gig at OBOS is like the biggest step forward in my life. =P I initially did it for my parents . . . but now my eyes have turned into money, LOL.
So far, for seven days worth of work, I’ve made a total of AU$1030.76 (US$783.89)! ^_^
Gotta love Time and a Half and Double Time. =P
For some strange reason I’m starting to consider going to TAFE next year (I think that’s the equivalent of community colleges? I’m not sure) . . . but if I have to do both Year 11 and Year 12 all over again just to do my HSC — forget about it. =P
I will forever remain a loser. =)
My English skills have been suffering, though, as I haven’t been educated in over a year. =( I SUCKETH AT THEE PROPAR ENGLISH! D: Perhaps TAFE is an option . . . and I believe I can transfer to a university through TAFE . . . but I’m pretty sure I’d have to complete my HSC first. =P WHICH SUCKS. ‘Cause, yeah, I think they’ll make me re-do Year 11 so I can re-do Year 12 . . . and that’s just no thank you. =P
It’s way past my bedtime. T_T I used to sleep at like 3, 4, 5 AM . . . now I normally sleep at 10:30 PM. T_T It’s almost 12:00 AM. Drats! THIS IS WHAT OVERTIME DOES TO ME! I want my free time back. T_T
I have a million things to do! Like, um, email Jess back. She’s having family issues again and as her online bestie (self-proclaimed!) I should do something! . . . Tomorrow. =P
I’M SURE YOU CAN SURVIVE WITHOUT ME FOR ANOTHER DAY, JESSYPOO. I lived for weeks thinking you were dead, after all. =( TEAR! =P
::goes around hugging Jess and everyone else who happens to read this post::
PUPPY LOVE! ^_^
(I want a puppy just to name the damn thing “Puppy”. And I also want twin boys so I can name them “Ask” and “Tell”. Gotta love random thoughts!)
