daft ppl..[ 10:49 AM ]
i don't remember if i uploaded a vid of 2 men dancing to daft punk's stronger & i'm much too lazy to go thru my posts to find out.. point is, i loved the vid so much but i just found sthg freakin hilarious.. funny & smart, to me, at least... =P
actually, for your benefit, i'll put up both.... =)
**the one i loved so much (perhaps, i was imagining them dancing privately for me...? not that they're hot but how often do u get 2 topless guys dancing for u??!!)
*& this is the other one i just fell in love with... LOL!!!!!
it's been too darn long since i last shared anythin over here but i really needed a place to rant today.. without the risk of getting judged or told off... basically, the whole week has been nothing but a date with murphy.. u noe, the one with the law... anyways, i'll try to get this off my chest as quickly & as clearly as i can.. i'm kinda tired, just had a 15-hrs shift.. all the way from brissy.. well, to begin with, i had a case of food poisoning following my return from our trip to phuket.. so, i had to call in sick for my cairns/narita... i had checked my roster for any changes all the way til 1 in the morning but there wasn't anything reflected.. i was apparently in cairns.. so, the next day, i got a call from screwing (at exactly 12.01pm) to inform that i was on brissy/narita for that day... after the call, i simply lazed in bed til abt 2.. and that's when i realised i had rashes/mosquito bites looking stuff all over my thighs & back... there were welts & there were seriously, red & angry spots all over.. not bein a drama queen, i thot a shower would make it better but it only got worse as the spots merged to form a giant patch.. so, ard 4pm, i headed for the stoopid doctor again.. (don't go to the clinic at compass point/sengkang mrt.. service sucks!!) (sidenote - i had to go there since it was chinese new year & the other company doctors nearby were closed.. e doctor i normally visit charged an extra 60bucks just for that day... which brings me to another cause of anger, but i shall continue first... 14th feb - went to doctor, signed under e company's acct & got a day's mc... 15th feb - hives outbreak, went to same doctor, forgot company's card & clinic refused to let me sign under company's acct, despite my visit there e day before!!!!!! hadta fork out 62bucks for a day's mc... wtf?!?!?)
, called my manager to inform her abt my predicament & all she could care abt was that i shld take responsibility & call in sick there & den.. i shall be 'dealt with accordingly' after.... all i wanted to do was to inform her but i guess her position as a manager means that she shldn't take any concern for any of us & anytime we call for assistance, we're being a hell of a nuisance... guess her job description as a base manager only entails forwarding of emails & lying to the unsuspecting applicants to the job... & i'm the unprofessional one?! she then went on..
'i actually wanted to email u to come down & meet me. I want u to explain why u made remarks abt the company, saying it's stingy & unfair. that is totally uncalled for & unprofessional on your part. company still pays you when you pax & u're calling them stingy?? if u go outside, can u find any other company which pays you while u're paxing? you want the company to take all these away?! also, we haf been more than fair. when u needed leave for your wedding, we granted it to u despite only being 2mths on the job. so do u think those remarks u made were called for & justifiable??'
i have sooooo many things to say to wateva she threw at me but if anyone knows her any better, she's not the kind who lets u explain or speak up.. she hates ppl who talks back..
so, i'll just hafta shut up in front of her & do it the talking back here....
first of all, i called to inform you of wat was happening to me, since u are the manager after all, to keep u in the loop.. coz personally, i think if someone went ahead & reported for duty with rashes, it'd look pretty disgusting & very unhygienic.. i'd den offload the person & hafta face the problem of calling in a replacement at the very last minute... which is rather time-consuming & might lead to delays or even cancellation of flgts.... even if the person went on onto the flgt, it mite get worse in the cabin & this in turn mite lead to one crew member down & hafta seek medical help overseas & also eventually having to find a replacement from the other base... but of coz, our dear manager lives in disney-world where there's no such thing as a 'worse-case scenario' coz evrything works out according to her plans..... she's clueless abt what goes on when we go on for duty & all she cares is that no one creates any problems for her.. even when a crew loses their luggage, they shld take responsibility.. like we all are begging for our luggages to get lost in the first place....!!
secondly, when i called the company 'ngiao' , i honestly didn't noe that that assistant of yours would rat out on such a small matter... ( tho in all honesty, the company IS stingy!!! 5bucks per hour?! how much more bloody generous can anyone get?! ) why is it then, did she laugh when i said that & even contributed
'U didn't noe? welcome to the company..'
now, isn't that unprofessional too??
lastly, i've been married for half a year now; & that's the best you can dig out of my record?? in the first place, before i even handed over the freaking $1850 & signed the contract, i specifically asked if i would be able to get leave for my wedding since we would still be in probation... not my fault that u decided to postpone the training from feb all the way to may... (and the bloody interview was in nov, mind you) i still remember your kind reassurance that it'd be no hassle at all as long as i informed in writing.. had i known it was out of goodwill that i had the measly 7-days off, i wldn't haf had even signed the papers!! it's MY wedding!!! u tink that 7-days was sucha gift?! i didn't even get to haf a honeymoon proper because the rosters were released so late into the month!!!! other places would probably offer marriage leave but i got peanuts..... i get called ungrateful instead... *pfft*
moving on from that, a bloody pax sent in a complaint form...
i would love to elaborate on this matter coz it brings my blood to a boil but all i can point out is; he's indian... 'nuff said. (one of my old entry also involved the same word-manipulating-attention-seeking species..) i am NOT racist, don't see the point in elaborating any further..
as for today, on the flgt, i did blankets, landing cards, video, service as well as clearance... maybe we shld just haf 2 crews instead of 5.. coz there certainly wasn't a 'team' onboard... & i wldn't mind getting paid for the other 3 since i'm doing their job anyways... den a drunkard wanted to write a 'formal complaint' abt me for refusing to sell him alcohol.. i did not refuse him, the manager did. but he asked for my name. so we'll wait & see....
so, when we were reaching, i was just psyching myself since i'll finally get to see him after almost a wk.. as i said to one the crew, 'this is the only part of the whole flgt i'm looking forward to.... i get to see him!' even got a dozen krispy kreme with him in mind but of coz, murphy had to make sure nothing goes right & i'd left the doughnuts, along with my expensive chocolate potato chips, all the way from narita, in the cart onboard... not that the donuts came cheap.. it was almost 20 aussie bucks...!! i was oredi in a let-it-be state of mind but the crew insisted i find them coz they felt bad for me.. (that drunkard really abused me, i'm not exaggerating) so, the csm took me to lost & found & i knew that HE wld not react in a manner i'd love to see... coz i saw him waiting at the hall oredi & i noe how he is with waiting ard & wasting time... ground staff called some ppl & while waiting for the catering ppl to get back to them, i called HIM... surprise, surprise, he was upset... i was too, to say the least.... but he came to fetch me so of coz that trumps it all... oh, & he had back-ache... on the other hand, my heels were like fluffy clouds & my glasses ( dropped my lens into the sinky.. thanks, murph!! ) totally massaged my temples the entire day & i had just came off from a 15-hrs leisurely walk in the park...
not as if someone didn't leave the money for our phuket trip the other day.... & not as if we've never gone thru the 'i'm-fetching-u-so-it's-a-big-deal' issue before... ah well, wat can u expect? romance is dead.
®it feels sooo much better to let all that out.. it's kinda sad that i hafta resort to this as an outlet.. seems like there's no one out there i can really talk-talk to.... *sigh* =(
i'm still at work now, tryin to finish up evrythin so i can leave dis place ASAP.. so dis will hafta be rather short & sweet.. been meanin to post my thots for the last few moments of 2008 & resolution (or lack of it) for 2009... all i noe, i'm lookin forward to e fireworks display later on, to usher in 1st jan, once more.. keepin my fingers crossed dat i'll get a better view compared to last year's & keepin my fingers crossed both of us won't flare up like last year as well.. =P 2008.. hafta say it's been eventful.. left emirates.. still haf a tinge of regret over dat.. working at a new place now, after my stint with e animals over at nite safari.. (miss dat place... =/) got engaged, still plannin for e big day.. so, i'm totally welcomin 2009 with bated breathe.. hmmm, kinda distracted rite now, with e colleagues making it feel like it's a forex here... *grrrr* guess dat's abt it for now... wanna wish all e beautiful souls out there a very happy new year & may all be blessed with health & happiness always... it's off to haf dinner with e family den... =)
story of my life currently; work,sleep.. wake up, work,sleep... wake up, work, sleep... n repeat...... but i guess i learnt sthg abt myself during e trainings.. (which juz passed e 2nd wk n movin into e third)... i ask questions.. as in, when i dunno, i dun keep mum.. not like last time.. coz to ask questions wld deem me stupid.. but i figured now, dat if u dun.. u ARE stupid.. afterall, trainers are there to impart their knowledge and if i dun seize e opportunity to be stupid during training, it's not gonna help if i'm lost on e job... ho-kay.. i sound like i luv my job oredi.. far fm it... i dun even noe it yet so i can't profess any feelings right now... i'll keep u posted soon...
