It's Been So Long!

Wow, it's been so long since I posted!

Truthfully, it's only 3 days. But anyway, I feel like ages ago since there's a lot of things happened in these 3 days.

First, I had my interview on Wednesday after college. It took me long time to find the store, which was actually just minutes away from the station, and I should have walked through Greenwood Plaza underground, but, I really have bad sense in direction. Anyway, when I said I wanted to see the manager, there were a lot of people queueing and they just stared at me like I was some experiment product to be tested in the kitchen. I hate their stares, it made me nervous, especially the bunch of college guys with guitars on their backs, sipping their Coke while staring at me for a long time and I gave them a stare as well, until they reverted their attention to their friends. It was very busy afternoon with the men and women in suits from the offices coming down to grab some lunch, and I waited like half an hour until the manager called and asked me to fill in the employment form. Well, what about the interview? The fact that she asked me to fill it in, means I am already accepted before I went there. That wasn't interview at all. And when she came out of the kitchen, she immediately discussed the time I am available and stuff. Dammit, who cares eh?

Anyway, I had to but leather shoes, which I found just yesterday in lots of effort finding it, and it costs $69.95! Curse it. I still have my elementary school's leather shoes from Djuwita, and my foot still fits. Anyway. I also have to buy black socks.

I reckon the pay is very low, and I only asked to work on Monday and Tuesdays, so I could have time in the weekends to study. Let's just be frank; I am actually lazy. I want a nice good sleep and not waking up at 6 in the weekends just to go and do some fucking $10 per hour job. I am still not sure about the pay , but everyone told me it's low. That's why I saved myself two days off, and maybe find others more intriguing in the pay than this one. There's a lot of place wants people lately and I really wanted to try the  KOOKAI shop, it's jewellery or clothes, and branded things, but, I guess not.

It means that I have only 2 days to work. And it's in North Sydney. And I have 3 days to school at Central. So that means I have to fork out a little bit of money for the train eh? I could probably get on a bus to North Sydney.

Well, after I posted on Tuesday, lots of things other than this job thing also happened. The test on Wednesday I mentioned is NOT open book at all. And he wants us to not talk to each other otherwise it's 'death penalty'. I did well in the multiple choice, but I got struck in the Cash Budget! I thought there wasn't going to be an essay and I remembered him saying only 15 Multiple Choice, and it was 10 multiple choice plus an essay on Cash Budget! I didn't read that part, and I could only figure out a bit, somewhat understand the question in the end but I got struck in the words and sentences. It's language barrier, this one, and I just did what I could. Everyone got different results when I asked them, some got minus, some got thousands, some hundred thousands and wtf. When I asked for the answers, he said he'll give us next week.

And after my interview thing, the manager told me I need to complete the online training, which is actually like 95% of the job training, and do the on-the-job-training this Saturday. I need to complete it like 100% and the website is a hell. It got so many buttons to click on in one question and even they said it needed approximately 3 hours to complete it, I did it on separate days because of my tight schedule, and when it sums up, it's like 6 hours doing those. Anyway, I completed it last night, hurray! But that resulted in: I didn't have time to study for my Thursday's test which was today, this morning actually. I woke up late at 6.35 this morning and read through some pages of that messy writing of my dear teacher John, and managed to not only read the last page of the handouts he gave us. Even though it's open book, it's graded, and I reckon the questions would be as hard as last week's Customer Service's subject, but it was damn easy and I finished it on time, no worried looks on my face. LOL

And the next two weeks, I still have another one, and it's writing a report. And when he explained it, I don't know what he's talking about at all. It's hard. I still need to bring my laptop again next Friday.
And the afternoon class, that so-cute-Kate-McClear is so not cute. She's whining all day and speaks all day. You know what, I just realised she speaks like Julia Gillard, in the monotone way, and I hate Julia Gillard because she speaks like that. She speaks in the way like one-by-one-every-word, and very carefully. And it's like a nanny trying to make the toddler understand every word she's saying that's why she speaks like that kind of thing.

There's just so many to do... well, autumn vacation is just 3 weeks away and if I counted from next week, it's 2 weeks away. And my old friends in Indonesia will have their national-scary-crazy exam while I am here, enjoying vacation and autumn. Not actually enjoying, I will be asked to work full-time later. I still don't know if it's fun working there, it seems boring after doing all the online training, made me lose my appetite, you know. And hearing the pay is low and some thing like that, I grew to dislike it in the past 3 days and I wasn't even interested anymore in going to the orientation tomorrow. Screw it. Damn it. Fuck it.

I am so sorry, I kept saying 'fuck'. I think I got addicted to saying it, 'cause my friends all say that like everyday's meal. So, forgive me!!

Japan is still not okay and nuclear radiation is getting worse... might affect us as well, so keep praying!
