you know, after the attempt at sales and retail, the attempts to work in f&b (no actually just icecream), and applying for relief teaching jobs, i realised that admin is one of the best holiday jobs ever.
compared to the people in sales/f&b, people in the bank are much nicer IMO. although you hear about office politics and all, most of it wouldn't involve junior or temp staff. during my 3 freaking long months in the bank, there was only one misunderstanding. in prestat, it took less than a week! the bank didn't make a big fuss over me taking so long to update the broker list, they didn't tell me my attitude sucked because i took more than an hour lunch everyday.
admin is definitely less restrictive. i could do things like read the newspaper, drink ice-blended coffee at my desk after lunch, make milo every morning, take snacks as and when i like, take toilet breaks as often as i want, take an hour or more for lunch, leave on the dot, not put on makeup if i didn't feel like it, pick my outfit everyday, sit more than i stand.
and the best thing is, admin pay is the best! for the long, tiring hours and what you put yourself through, working in sales or f&b is not worth it.
so i may find another admin job after all, for another month or so, although it'll bore me to death again. like my parents say, large companies are more reliable, the contract that they draw up is also more specific. really, UNION JACK co, you should try revising your whole contract thing because having such a poorly drawn up contract (with some grammatical errors) doesn't reflect well on your ENGLISH company.
ha, i can't wait for tomorrow! remember, because i'm going to meet kashdfkjhaliseh and give akshflkashdf a piece of my mind. plus i'm going to get back my transport money.
i don't know why what we plan nowadays always doesn't happen. anyway today was spent lazing at home again, then going down to a showflat and ikea with my parents. meatballs and chicken wings and daim cake and fish! :) plus free flow of coffeeeeee.
