What a Bizzatch

So I saw an ad in the newspaper yesterday advertising saying that a person could work from home part time or full time with listed salary range that proved to be quite enticing.

The ad stated to sms a person called Kelly if people were interested to find out more. I decided to give it a try thinking that I had nothing to lose. Finding out more about a job was nothing.

I just received a phone call from some person saying she received my sms and was from the company. She called me by a name that obviously was not mine when I did not leave any traces of my name in the sms I initially sent. So I thought I would be courteous to get that cleared saying that it was not my name. This woman gets all defensive and say that she is not Chinese hence she would not know how to pronounce my name. I kept saying that it was not my name at all to begin with but she seemed like she did not get it.

What I really hated was that the way she spoke sounded as if I was disturbing her and that I somehow pissed her off. She had barely explained much of what was required and asked me if it sounded interesting. She also then proceeded to ask if I was interested on taking the job when I had not even heard much about the job.

I finally got pissed and said to her "Well if you want me to answer that right now, then I will say I am not interested." Before I could even explain my reasons she just abruptly said 'thank you' and hung up the phone.

I was not going to take that kind of shitty attitude from a stranger. I hope nobody in desperate need of a job would take that kind of attitude from her just to get a job. This is what happens when you get asshats to work. This is what happens when you hire people who lack the qualification to work. I am especially pissed off because there is no way I could report to her superiors about how rude she is to potential employees.

I hope she gets run over by a truck.

Sproing!

I have given another attempt at running a group blog with my friends who over the past years have seem to developed a knack for blogging. This blog hopefully will try its best to keep related to the main goal of giving our views and thoughts on stuff that is happening in the world today, mainly in Malaysia. There are so many interesting incidents happening in the local news that provides us with ample of ideas to write.

Hopefully it works out!
Take a stroll to MYopick if you will.

Many Processes in a Second

No, its not a super processor chip for a computer. It is my brain. Not sure about the rest of you, but I tend to be able to think of many things in a moment. It feels like my mind runs from one location to other being inquisitive, trying to take in as much as it is possible to absorb. There are so many things which I wish to put down in writing, but when my fingers reach the surface of the keys, my mind tends to scatter everywhere not knowing what to talk about, which to talk about first.

If I could place what is on my mind, it would seem like redundant, repetitive posts everyday but when examined closely, it would be revealed that it is looked at with different angles and would have different details if just ever so slightly.

Where do I begin tonight. I accompanied Rayn to look for a new pair of shoes today to my somewhat reluctance. Don't get me wrong. I am not the stereotypical guy who hates to accompany their girlfriends shopping and would do what they can to escape it. On the contrary, I do enjoy accompany girls shopping. It is just that today I was really tired. I have not been getting enough rest due to disturbances whilst sleeping. Stuff like stupid dogs barking nonstop at high pitches, weather becoming warmer and humid and the occasional weird dreams.

We had lunch before we went looking for shoes. Over lunch we talked about the stuff that happened during her time at church today. She usually tells me stuff like what the message about and who spoke on it. Whenever talks about how people should live their lives arise, I tend to talk and talk and talk in response. Which led me to explain why I left the church which I have been a part of all my life. Which led me to explain why I am not seeking another church at the moment.

The summary of it is very simple. Claiming to be of a religion (in this case a Christian) marks yourself under a certain standard. It means the person has to live in a way that is a good testimony to others, especially the people who are not of the same religion as the believer. It puts the person in a certain expectation that the person has to fulfill.

Now with this prior knowledge and basis of the case set. As a fellow 'Christian', I have been treated like an outcast. I have been looked as not one of 'them'. I am not sure for what reasons exactly they see me this way, but my speculations would be because I do not kow tow to them mindlessly.

The community is very funny. Not 'ha ha' funny. Odd funny.

They expect the young people to respect the elders. I was even deceived before that people were suppose to respect their elders as part of the requirements in the Bible. I searched and search and could never find any passage, any verse that said that we had to respect our elders. Respect and honor our parents? Yes. Respect other people that do nothing to earn your respect? No.

I have a few verses from the Bible I would like to share. This is aimed specifically at those people who think they are very righteous. You righteous people, humor me a bit. Give me face by reading the passages I put before you. I hope you would be smart enough to sincerely and honestly reflect upon it.

Matthew 6:1-4
Giving to the Needy
1.Be careful not to do your 'acts of righteousness' before men, to be seen by them. If you do, you will have no reward from your Father in heaven.
2.So when you give to the needy, do not announce it with trumpets, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and on the streets, to be honoured by men. I tell you the truth, they have received their reward in full.
3.But when you give to the needy, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing,
4.so that your giving may be in secret. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.

Proverbs 20:11
Even a child is known by his actions, by whether his conduct is pure and right.

Ephesians 6
Children and Parents
1.Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right.
2.Honour your father and mother— which is the first commandment with a promise—
3.that it may go well with you and that you may enjoy long life on the earth.
4.Fathers, do not exasperate your children; instead, bring them up in the training and instruction of the Lord.

Gradually

It was not too long ago I faced a low point in my life. I thought of giving up and reforming what I had to do when all I heard was a mixture of "you are only escaping from the problem" and "you did what you could". Naturally being myself, I heard being accused of escaping; trying to take the easy way out more than the other which made myself stay put in my current job to see what happens.

Today an ironic thing happened. I heard that my superior/colleague; boss' business partner tendered his resignation and he will only be around for 2 more months. Which is the amount of notice time as per company's policy. He has been in the company for 9 months and has even been made a business partner. Never would I have ever imagine him just leaving like that. I guess I am not the only one that face pretty demanding performance.

This feels like university all over again when I had a final project and one of my team mates bailed out halfway and left me for dead with the horrible team mate who was only good at making excuses for his lack of... well anything really. I am not saying my boss is like that in anyway. I just am reminded of being abandoned and left clueless as to what to do next. He was the one who taught me everything I needed to know regarding the work I had in the company including how to manage and juggle several job at once. He was the one who helped me make head or tails of any job as I am inexperienced. When he goes, I have no idea how I will manage.

I do not wish to think that it will just be me and my boss for a long while in the company because I am sure he will expect me to do a whole lot more other than what I signed up to do.

What am I going to do?
