Every time I read some of the blogs I follow, I wish I was a better blogger. But sometimes life is too boring to blog about and some other times life's too hard.
I've had some tough times coming my way and I wasted so much energy trying to fight everything that was thrown my way. Things have not been solved yet and until I sort my career out nothing will be 100% right. Without wanting to upset anybody, there's one thing I have learnt these few months and it is not pretty: never work for Asian people again. I am pretty sure there are lots of decent people out there, but my experience has shown the other way round. They're cheap, mean and pay you so so little. If you've got the "luck" to be the only white gal in there, they will eat you alive and then laugh at you in their own language.
On a brighter note, I will be finally getting the chance to visit my family and friends again in a month's time and boy, am I glad! I've already planned a big girls' night out with lots of dancing. If there's anything more I love doing in this world than dancing, that's eating sweets. Bearing in mind that for me eating chocolate regularly is a purpose in life, then you can only imagine that, as second on my list, dancing is pretty awesome too (part of my philosophy in life :D )
I have also started a new diet and I'm in my second day now; oh, man, I am 98% sure I will cave in and have chocolate. If I come to think about it actually, I am rather like Charlie and the candy mountain. Fingers crossed they will not take my kidney.
Looks like stupid thoughts come out of my head at this late hour, therefore, in order to save my dignity, I will stop writing this post NOW.
Im sorry about your bad experience. I could add a lotttt of items to your 'do not work for this kind of people' category, trust me. I have always said it is much easier to find the perfect man (husband) than to find the perfect boss.
ReplyDeleteThat's one of the things we have to deal with when we live in a multicultural environment (although I wouldn't really associate the word 'culture' with certain people, if you know what I mean).
I don't really know what advice to give you (if you're looking for any), but as far as I'm concerned, I won't take any crap from anyone. If I don't like the environment, the boss, the co-workers, the way I'm treated etc... I just leave. It is hard to find a good job these days, but still life is too short to spend half of it at a job you hate...
@americanca: ooohhhh, ooohhhh, i knowww! and i also wish i could change jobs immediately, but while looking for something better, money's got to come from somewhere,doesn't it? ;;)
