Geraldine shall not be so nice anymore...
I decided to quit on my first day of work! Initially, I thought it would be fun since I would get to make more new friends and get experience. Also, it is supposedly a very "slack" job as a store taker whereby you would fold and package the lingerie, sort them out and count the number of sets of them and record them down. 3 other girls, all of them 1 year younger than me, were employed. The first hour was alright when my back started to experience a couple of backache. You see, I had to sit on the cold and hard floor, bend down occasionally, pose for a couple of minutes and package those goods. Mind you, it is not as slack as it seems and it should not be in one of your choice as a permanent job because you would suffer spine problems later on. Imagine 7 hours bending down repeatedly and posing till you finish your "package". Also, it is just plain boring. The pay was low, $5/hr(I rather do telemarketing for my mum, $8/hr + commission) and I learnt nothing except how to fold lingerie! I prefer to do sales which would be more interesting and I would be interacting with people. It was basically a brainless job, working like a factory worker, repeatedly doing the same steps over and over again. However, thanks to this job, I managed to find my motivation to hit the books again. I never, ever want to do such a job again. It's going to kill me. During that period of my precious time, I could have used to pick up a new skill for photoshop just by stonning in front of the comp. lolx. 8 hours worth of time, gone down the drain...=( *edit* btw, the job is only for girls... :p and...at least I did finish my job today. I could have given up half way. Now I wish I did because my back is killing me! I want to retreat back to the world that I created, back when fairytales and the little girl still existed... -The weight of yesterday and tomorrow, when carried today, makes even the strongest falter.-
