wanna know y?

work sucked today.. y?
cause the delivery truck came late... and 30 minutes after i started Weekend Today came Y's this so bad?
because no way can a chinese paper compete with a english paper as well established as Today
because there were THREE! 3! THREE! guys giving out Today compared to me one little person...
still y did work suck?
cause not only were there THREE! today guys... they were using human weakness to their full advantage...
1st Human weakness(esp. in Singapore) Freebies Rock! (esp. stuff in english..)
they were also giving out FREEEE Listerine to the many people... so of course there was a mad rush to the lovely stand i mean all the bad breath people would go and get some why shouldnt they? its free? BUT haha.. wats worst?
2nd Human weakness(all over the freakin world) Sex Sells (a heck of alot better than maosi.. hands down no contest.. they've won even before the game starts)
they had another 3! salesgirls to do that perfectly fine for them.. pearly white teeth... faces that look like they've never seen the sun and acne before....
"Freeeeeee Listerine!!"
"Keep em' Clean and White!!"
"Get your New Listerine with Today, today!"
but im not angry at that... i mean those people were doing their job.. like me were they not?
im angry at the fact that the marketing staff for the paper i was distributing did not do anything to deserve that kind of business... for one.. leaving one guy out there in the crowd doing his bloody best to give out 200+ copies as fast as he can... as best he can... wheres the help?
especially on a Saturday! O_O.. in CityHall... god i felt freakin embarrased.. wearing the uniform and dumb hat and smiling through the 3 hours.. though deep down inside me i felt like pouring kerosene all over the stack of newspapers behind me and setting it alight...

wat has maosi learnt from this?

Don't be a dumbbyyyyy!!! and take a weekend job... No matter how attractive the pay is...
I will NOT be paid to make a complete fool of myself no matter how much of a foolish fool i am already....

but in all the mayhem and "unfairness" there was this kind old lady.. =) .. (though i was too busy plotting the death's of erm... yah the 6 of them) she sat on the funny marble divider thingy beside where i was standing... and chatted with me... and *shhhhhh* took like 3 papers out of my 200+ stack (ok so maybe it was 5 haha...) and her excuse?
"Wo kan nee zhuo dao sou suan le...." (my chinese isnt great... but yah thats the best i could make out...)
i hope she enjoyed reading the paper(paperssss haha) as much as i enjoyed giving them to her... =D .... rofl...

it's not me... is it?
