serial cheater

What's with guys and cheating? Is there a specific cheating code ingrained in their chromosome?

There are of course girls who cheat on their partners too. But you know how guys are.

Yesterday at work I was sent on a secret mission by a regular customer. He asked a favor from my superior actually, to send a gift to a girl half his age who works in a shop that is in the same row as ours. But since my superior must attend to the outlet, he sent me instead.
The same customer is already married, yet he spends time with his girlfriend every single day at our outlet. I overheard the girlfriend bragging to my superior saying her boyfriend doesn't fool around behind her back because she treats him well, not a half hour before the guy had the cheek to send me on the secret mission.

What does that make me - an accomplice? But I was just following my superior's order. I am hoping that I wouldn't go through that myself.

But who knows?

This is hush hush, but my superior told me he used to have a lot of girlfriends too. He said he's married too, at a very young age. He's even younger than me and he has a 3 year-old son. What's with guys? Really. Okay it is understandable for my superior's situation. He got married at a very young age. Still, it is his fault. He should have a good look around before making his purchase. Getting married when you were fresh out of school and haven't seen the world enough could be a great mistake one can make.

Guys, you should just grow up.

accidents happen

I never thought accidents can be so wonderful. What happened the other day totally changed my perception.

True, the bar area is not very wide - it is just nice for I think maybe 4 person at one time, if everyone sticks to his or her own spot. Of course when it is busy on peak hours, when the customers are lining up it will be hard to have such comfort of moving freely without bumping into each other. Because usually there'll be more than 4 partners in the bar area when it's busy.

But the day it happened, there was not that many customers. Just a few of them and they have already gotten their orders..sitting down enjoying the food, beverages and friends' company.

Me on the other hand, had the chance to crash right into him or was it the other way round? I couldn't really remember. I just recalled the feel, and it was not like when you brushed someone aside softly. And it was not once, but thrice. Yes..three times. Was I lucky or what? Haha.

I haven't bumped into other guy partners like that, only him. It was like I have some kind of radar when others are in vicinity..but it's not the same with him.

a reason

I wrote about choosing between available options - it is really between keeping a job or chasing after better ones. The pay for the other jobs (which I don't know my chances of getting them) are higher than the one I'm holding on.

Which would you choose - a higher pay or some precious learning experience even though it'll take some time?

I went for the latter. It is confirmed today as I called to cancel my appointment with the interviewer for the possible job opportunity.

I'm sticking through thick and thin with this job that has my name on it. I fell in love with the organization when I heard what they did in the past and the way they run the company. And as my dad said to me - it's better for me to start from the bottom so I will know what my subordinates go through when I get the chance to be their superior.

The first night was horrible for me - too much work to be done at closing time and each task needs double the amount of my strength. But I still went to work a few hours after that, for the opening shift. With a little rest - I couldn't sleep much as my body was too tired.

That second day of work could be the reason I'm eager to stay for long - I met a colleague that seems to hold some interest in me. Nah, it's not the reason. I already made up my mind the first night of work. He's just another 'benefit'..haha.

He's a senior partner and came across as strict to me when he kept on testing my knowledge in making the mixture for the beverages. But I caught him stealing looks at me a few times when he thought I wasn't looking. And before my shift came to an end, he told me to do some cleaning. I was washing my hands, ready to go back when I heard another colleague mocking him for gazing at me intently.

Now the question is, would it be alright to have some sort of relationship with your colleagues? I used to refrain from having relationship with classmates for it could be kind of restraining - I want to be free and be myself in class, not having to keep my actions in check.

which is it?

The manager at the place I'll be working at asked a question that I think is significant to me now. He asked if I can multitask - I answered "Yeah, I can."

Does doing some Math calculations and listening to music at the same time can be considered as multitasking? What about clipping my toenails and watching the telly? Or what about grabbing a 'maybe' top from a discount bin and my eyes are aggressively trying to spot another cute top?

Haha..I know. I'm hopeless.

Just look at this baby blog of mine. Nooooo..I didn't leave you. I just had some busy moments, and I might have been paying a little bit extra attention to your sister, my first blog. Okay..okay, all my attention.

I already rested long enough at home and so I felt I really need to get a job. I started to send out applications through emails and it was fruitless. Only one replied at first, and I went for an interview. But they didn't contact me after that. Then I went to a jobfair. Also none replied. Or, so I thought. Actually someone called me but the guy was kind of not a professional. He didn't want to tell me what position is available, that he's calling me for. And he kind of creeps me out. So I didn't go.

Then I put in more effort and went to some F&B outlets to try my luck. At last I'm accepted as a worker, starting from below as the position I was aiming for isn't available at the moment.

Next thing I know the 'creepy' guy called me again and told me to attend another interview. I managed to coax him into telling me about the position. The money seems to be pretty good, considering my lesser expectation and the fact that the high living cost in that area made me turn my back to it. But it was not my forte. Yes, S&M is not for me.I had to turn his offer down. Sad, but that is what I have to do.

Another call for an interview is still bugging me. It was for a better post at another company. But I'm not positive that I will get it. And it's scheduled for after I already starts working. This one is hard. I love the environment of the place where I'm already accepted. The other place is too laid back and I feel it clashes with me being impatient. But if I work there, I could get promoted to a higher rank faster.

Oh, could is such a mean word. I could also get something precious where I'm already accepted. Decisions, decisions.
