sings another lonesome lullaby

I should cut down on using the F*** word.

****

I feel empty...

I feel lonely..

I hate eating most of my meals all by myself.

My feet hurts.

I bought new sandals. But this new pair hurts me more than my old mules.

I am very tired.

I have to try to smile and sell even when I am sad and sleep deprived.

Work is supposed to be stressful.. But I am so down that I don't feel the stress. Lack of product knowledge, but have to hit $10,000 Singapore dollars by the end of this month.

Today is my second day of work. I finally sold 4 pairs of pants. After discount, my sales is only $316.80. But, a senior felt that she put in quite a bit of effort in these customers too. So, she is claiming credit for half this amount. How come she didn't give me half her sales when I helped her with "her customers"? I need to minimise this greatly.

My colleagues are all female. Supposed to wear a blazer. But I refused to spend over a hundred dollars for one when I doubt I can earn much this month.

I bumped into my mother today during lunch time. She only know today that I am working. She asked me to quit soon.

I won't quit lah. She kept harping on how a University graduate cannot do this sort of jobs. She wants me to teach or work in a bank. First, I am not a salesgirl though my work now seems like I am . Then, I think my company provides very very good sales training. Got lotsa tactics you know? haha.. Eh, I am laughing.. I aspire to sell like the rest of my colleagues. Sales is a very useful and money making skill to develop.

I need to go research on men's fashion later.. MEN's Fashion.. Gosh.. And those French names. I can't articulate them well. Anyone wants shirts and ties? I can get 50% discount. :) But, you would still have to pay quite a bit after the discount. DKNY tie -- $119. Trussadi tie -- $139 blahblah.. The shirts are almost $300 each.

Right now, I have been only taught men's pants and a little on ties, which are the cheaper items, so cannot chalk up much sales. I need to learn the high ticket items soon..

Seriously..I can't really tell which pants go well with which shirt.. or which tie goes well with who shirt etc.. I can't match with taste!!! Needta learn man..

I just succeeded in distracting me from my emptiness for a while, blogging.

EArlier, my fren met me for dinner because I was lonely again. I feel bad that I am asking my fren to eat with me because I am lonely... He knows i am lonely, so he offered to eat with me. When he passed by my work place today, he called me to offer to eat lunch with me too. That's cos he knows I am very lonely and been very insecure.

The last time I broke up with my ex bf, I was so depressed and lonely that I asked a fren out every night after work. I wouldn't go home until it's near midnight when i have to sleep for tmr's work. I just need noise and pple there to distract me from my emptiness and loneliness. When with my frens, I can forget about my problem. I would be smiling and laughing.. But the moment they leave me for the night... loneliness creeps in again..

There's a stigma attached to fearing loneliness..

when you eat, shop, stay at home and all all by yourself too much.. you might start to feel lonely..

i am so damn pathetic. Issit affordable to see a psychiatrist? I hate the way my brains are wired.

hey! where u working? high-end working men's fashion sounds painfully familiar >.<"

take good care of urself and dun think so much about romance etc lor.. career should be of higher priority now bah..

anyway, cheaper shirts can get from Dano and Iora - but think around $30+ i personally feel they better quality than U2 or G2000 lor..

After you are more pro, can you teach me how to match ties? I have totally no idea what goes with what.
I only have one dark grey tie now which I match with everything..
