I will follow you.... (if the price is right)

For a week now, i've got a glimpse of what i'll be facing once i graduate.

The horrible, life sucking, soul draining working world. *psycho music*

As a short term temp. staff/kooli, i've been going to the DiGi hq in Shah Alam every morning for 10am. DiGi is rewarding their staff by treating them to some pampering, so they transformed a big hall into a spa.
What's my role there? I sit at 'reception' all day and take down bookings for body massages, foot reflexology, manicures and pedicures. Sound alright doesn't it...

I'm working ten hour days, 10am-8pm, and when i get home its near nine. So all i do is just crash onto the couch and usually i'm half asleep by 11 latest. Up again the next day at 7.30am and the whole cycle repeats itself. No energy to do anything else.

Urgh.

I'm only doing it for the money. Initailly, it was for church camp fees, RM150. May not seem like much, but didn't wanna ask parents since, one, i can get the $ myself and two, they wont be complaining that I'm just sitting around all day doing nothing.

Now i get to the Human Relations part.
When things are given out free, the ugly side of people can really be seen.
Since i deal with the registration, all those who want the spa stuff must come to me to sign up. Early last week, all the slots for the body massage were filled up, obviously cause one costs rm160 outside. SO that means many didn't get a slot and started la the complaints.
Not fair la. Tak puas la. Insisting they're entitled la.

Ish.

There are some people, that due to their overwhelmingly cheap nature, we labeled them the cheapers. These people are the ones that obviously can afford it outside, yet come daily to check and see if anyone canceled, threatens to complain to the Digi boss and then sits on couch staring at our table waiting for the 15minue grace period to end before pouncing on us demanding the slot.

Cheapers.

Of course we b*tch about them as soon as they walk away.

Some people are really lovely though, and are polite, nice, understanding. For THEM i am willing to try my best to get an empty slot, or inform them if there's a cancellation, because i feel they deserve it. Actually, i'm very powerful wan...We have more power than you know.

The moral of the story is this:

Be nice to the small fries, for they will be nice to you in return.



*PS: Mr Beautiful don't you dare not bring me back something, even if its just a leaf. They're free!*
