just lucky i guess

i had been receiving job offers for the past few days..

first i was lucky to be considered as the researcher for a home-based company in Paco. The pay is great (as advertised) but unfortunately it's only for 6 months and i'm not sure if they'll be paying government tax, etc..... offer declined..

today i received a call (the false-job-ads company) and was shocked to be informed that i'll be starting with my training on monday.. what the heck, i will start with my training without being offered the job and wasn't even told that i passed the final interview?! what's with that!

in the end, i decided to work for the "i am motivated" company....

Love Is Blind

I got this story from a site where I am a member.. ;)

There was a blind man who hates himself because of being blind. He hate everyone except his girlfriend. One day, the man said that if he can only see the world, he will marry his girlfriend. One day someone donates eyes to him and then he saw everything, including his girlfriend. His girlfriend asked him, now that you can see, will you marry me? The man was shocked when he saw that his girlfriend is also blind and he refused to marry her. His girlfriend walked away in tears and said "JUST TAKE OF MY EYES".

promises..promises

another week passed, and there goes the another "next week" promise!!! we are just pissed off!! ive been hearing your next -week promises for a month now, but nothing is happening! i still read a zero balance everytime i check my account.. pay us!! we were promised early this week, i dont want to expect anything, but we really need the cash! and if i receive it this week, id immediately tender my resignation..

false job advertising

i was happy to receive another interview invitation for a position (email/chat support agent) i applied online. a colleague of mine also received an email, so we talked and decided to meet. the company, which was actually an agency, didn't bother us at all. at least, if we are lucky, we will be working in a non-voice account.

the initial interview went well. we were endorsed to a company located in buendia for a technical support account, as the interviewer told us, a chat account! arriving at the office, we were shocked to see lots of applicants! i waited for almost 2 hours for my, yet another, initial interview.. yeah what a hiring process! after that i have to wait again for the result then i took the exam, wait for the result, and another interview. whew... more than half of my 5 hours was spent waiting!!

what pissed me off was that i was only informed that there were no openings for their email/chat support account, all openings were for voice account, during my final interview! can you believe that! wtf!!!

miscommunication between the agency and company, or just pure false advertisement?

be warned!!! the agency is located behind makati med.

Just Got Paid!!!??!! -- joke

still no news about our december salary and part of our 13th month! and right now am running out money and running out of excuses to people whom i owe money.. this-week promises coming true? we hope so!

application update: i had a call a few hours ago, inviting me for an interview and exam tomorrow. have been receiving calls and emails for the past few weeks! guess staying online for the whole shift looking for a job paid off... i just hope theyd give me an offer i cant refuse!!

nyapi nyu nyir!!!

gone were the days that i'd jump at exactly midnight, gone were the days that i'd play my favorite cd in full volume, gone were the days that i'd light firecrackers, gone were the days that i'd open all the windows in my room and all drawers in my cabinet... those were the days...

i wonder how many people in the country just enjoyed simple dinner last night (with gf and our baby dog), then went to sleep right before the whole country'd be shouting and making noise in any way they could think of..

so howd you spent your celebration? was it with a real bang or a quiet celebration with your loved ones?
