LOOOONG entry

Today was tiring, boring and a waste of time. Reported for work with Lynette, Fresa, Hazel and Lixing. This guy he introduced us to our trainer/group leader. Then the group leader showed us how to get people to buy tickets from us, got 5 steps. Then had team meeting, then don't know what mini talk by one of the directors or something. They told us our locations and off we went.

Walked around a lot to get people to buy tickets. My group leader is actually a nice guy. He paid for another member's and my lunch, our drinks. Too bad I'm not gonna work there anymore to repay him. He's a nice guy. Anyway, I got so sian after a while. No one to talk to cause they split us up. Something I think they shouldn't have done, cause more fun to do it with your friends. So I messaged and called people when I got bored. Haha. Everyone was faster than me. I sold 2 tickets at the end of the day. 1 in the beginning, 1 at the end. Lynette, Fresa and Hazel sold 4 I think. I thought I was the least, Lixing was worse, zero.

Fresa and Lynette ran away, so the director/manager, called them. I think couldn't get through at first so she called Lixing. Fresa and Lynette asked if they could quit on the spot. She said can. They think that she was angry at them for running away, so allowed them. They tried to ask permission for the rest of us also. But she didn't agree. Oh well.

So Lixing, Hazel and I went back to the office, then our group leaders brought us into a room and asked why we want to quit. We said we wanted a job with a basic pay, not commission based. Then they worked out for us how much we would get if we sold 2 books, 30 tickets in a day. Then they said it's more than what you earn doing office work etc. They were trying to convince us to change our minds. But we already decided liao. So no use. They still didn't want to let us quit just like that. They asked us to call our leaders if we really want to quit, after we think carefully. None of us are going to work tomorrow. So I think they will get the message.

Lixing went home, Hazel and I went to meet Fresa, Lynette and Wenxin at Swensens, Ben came later. Took lots of pictures using Lynette's camera. I think we were the noisiest group there. Haha. Came asking the waiter for things. We changed from one table to another cause Hazel joined last minute. Then asked them to help take pictures, asked them for candle for the earthquake. Basically, we asked for a lot of things. Hmm..Lynette will upload them soon. Hopefully today.

Went home after dinner, missed the first train cause Lynette and Fresa had Wenxin's earphones and MP3. Idiots! Make me go home 5 minutes late. reached home around 10. Well done. My mother didn't say anything though. She just shook her head. My bro came back from camp for a while cause he was on duty for the last 2 or 3 days. So came back to take his other uniforms and to wash clothes. Didn't get to talk to him, cause he had to leave when I reached home. Sad.

I'm waiting for my parents to come home from sending my bro to camp and start questioning me. My father asked before he sent my bro, why I came home so 'early'. But I ignored it, cause I wanted to bathe. And now I'm still waiting for stupid MSN to stop having stupid service problem. Almost an hour liao. Idiot!

Super long entry, bet you got bored reading it. Haha. Oh well.
