Caught in a bad romance

School is a dreadddddddd OMGGGGG KILL ME ALREADYYYYY..

This sem no joke.. 3 subjects all theory.. Madness, whoever said accounting was all about numbers and money! That's why I never quite like studying for a degree/diploma.. Sure, my interests is in accounting since POA was easy for me.. So was financial accounting.. But then they have subjects like Cost Management Accounting or Company Law that makes accounting degree/diploma a drag..

Then to make things worse.. One of the subject has a project as part of the assessment, and I cant even get to choose my partners to do with, its random! FWAHHHHHH!! Fingers cross already.. Hope for the best or die like the rest leh.. Being able to choose my own team mates, and I'm already pek chek till I wanna murder someone already, imagine if i get another similar group mould, HG LAH!! Hope for God's blessing already, out of my hands liao..

Then work has become tougher now.. Cos my supervisor left, and since the admin department consists of me, her and my manager, there is no proper takeover of the duties.. I mean I'm a part timer, how can a company rely on a part timer to keep their admin department running? Plus, when i was doing the store audit job for the company, I found out that actually my manager is quite a fucked up person and Redbull has a bad reputation among those drink distributors..

Our company is like a subsidiary of the main branch and we dun even do our own distributing of Redbull. We employ local distributors to help us.. Intially, it was Yeo's, then Allswell and now it's Pokka.. Apparently, we employed Yeo's but break with them after 2 months only, so they are not happy with us.. And after that we were with Allswell for like 6-7 years but they went to change to Pokka as well.. Which is stupid becos when I went auditing with an Allswell sales guy, he told me Allswell distributes both the silver and blue redbull and the gold redbull. But their boss love the silver and blue redbull alot that they entered into a contract that said if we use their services, they cannot do promotions for the gold redbull can. Which is good cos the gold redbull can had the market share plus they are cheap.

But now they withdrew and went Pokka, so Allswell started the gold redbull promotion last christmas.. So i think it's damn dumb.. Plus, the Allswell made a valid point about Pokka. Pokka has vending machines all over Singapore, and they place redbull inside the vending machines now, but it's at $2.80 per can.. Who would bring $2.80 worth of coins out to buy a redbull?? hahaha..

Plus like i mentioned, my manager is fucked up cos apparently he pissed off alot of people he meets with, like the Allswell salesman who dealt with him for 6,7 years. Cos apparently my manager has no power over big decisions, everything goes to the main branch to decide.. So when they push him to make a decision or if he make a bad decision, he just says is his boss say one, he cant do anything.. Or if he lands other people in trouble, he says is not his problem what.. Hahaha.. Harsh reality of the working world..

And the company is quite messed up cos they take forever to employ a full timer.. My supervisor already gave 2 weeks notice, but apparently, even my manager cant even employ the people he works with, they have to go through the main branch, that's why it takes so long to even replace someone here! So it's damn dumb, in the end a part timer has to pick up the baton for them! Which successful company ever does that? Successful company ask new full time employees to do a part timer job, like make coffee, laminate, photocopy.. But Redbull is doing the reverse.. FAIL!

So my responsibilities now are much bigger, have more tasks to do.. Part of me hates the added responsibility cos that's not what i signed up/paid for.. But at the same time, i know it's a learning experience for me, if i dun try, i will never learn. So fine, I can get over this fact. But then when I was made to do the audit job for them, not my choice, I tot i was paid my normal rate.. But then they told me since it's a project, they will pay me the same rate as the other part timer tat did it.. $8.50 per hour.. BTW, my supervisor told me my pay rised to $11 per hour cos we bluffed the recruit agency that i left the company already, so they will pay me the rate they pay the agency, $11 per hour..

So, naturally i felt cheated.. I mean I din choose to do the audit job.. U said you needed me to do.. I rather sit in a chair and earn more than going out to do the audit.. WTH already.. Then the last day of my supervisor, she told me the manager willing to pay me $10 per hour only.. So i had a chat with the manager, he said since we waive off the agency fee, I've gained but the company also needs to gain something out of it.. So he thinks $10 is fair.. Which makes sense, so when he said that, I BWG.. Mathematically, I've gained, $7.50 to $10 per hour is definitely a huge jump.. But i still felt cheated and lost.. Gained something but dun feel shiok.. Sucky feeling..

As a result, i felt last week was a long week for me.. It felt like one month last week.. URGH!! Please improve this week..
