I actually don't have to work tomorrow. :) How unusual.

I refuse to wake up till late. :p

But there would be a work review tomorrow over lunch with one of the managers. Tsk. No good. Should I tell her that I cannot take the pathetic pay? It takes someone with great calibre to earn a lot in my position. With my powerful colleague around, I can forget about the daily 'top performer' bonus, so can the rest of the girls in the other boutiques. She get that daily extra bonus of 80bucks so very very very often. About extra 1000bucks and more per month for her. Take my hat off her.

She's real li4 hai4. Natural born seller. I believe some people are born with certain talents. Those without the talents have to pump in extra doses of effort and still not be able to reach the same. Which begs the question, where the hell does my talent lie? I swear I don't have one. No, not what I am about to write.

Told ya before that I enjoy meddling with Microsoft Excel. Kinda enjoyed doing all the Regression stuff back in school. Hedonic Price Regression. Multiple Regression. :o)

If my first bf knows of this, he's bound to be very surprised. I was the one who know nuts about all computer related stuff. I didn't have a computer till I am 19 years old (that is just about 3 years ago) When I was in JC, my boyfriend had to write down each step to take to check my yahoo email, steps which I blindly adhered to each time I check my mail in the school computer lab. I just shunned and rejected all technological stuff. Technophobia, I had! heehahaa.. What a joke.

I'm doing a simple CRM tool for my boutique. Previously created formats for some other functions too.

By the way, forgot to write about something MAJOR that happened a few days back, on Friday, I think.

The Big Boss got back from China. I have been looking forward to see him as I haven't seen him despite a month of work. First time I met him, I didn't realised it was him until my colleague told me. He looked so arrogant and fierce. Each time he comes, he would be criticising my supervisor and never said anything pleasant or smiled or acknowledged my presence. So, I being the too stubborn for my own good self, refused to smile or acknowledged his presence too.

On Saturday, while I was making some phonecalls, I overheard him shouting outside the boutique a lot of unpleasant stuff about ME!!! I thought I heard him say something about me not "calling him" each time he comes. He wanted me to LEAVE immediately. I was rather mad. I wanted to walk straight out and give him a piece of my mind.

"Mr ***. Do you know that I have always wanted to meet you because I find you very capable and would like to learn from u. But, you have been totally disappointing as I have realised how bad a boss you are. I think you need to take some lessons on Management of People. And I am leaving right now. By the way, your company gives the lowest pay around. Oh, and don't speak so loudly because your English sucks."

But, I didn't have a chance to say that because my supervisor made me go somewhere else while she talked to him. She kept on urging me to "call him". I refused to. She went, "Please give me face." Fine.. When he walked past me, I shouted, "Hallo Mr ***." He briefly turned around and acknowledged what I said. I added, "I haven't been calling you because I am scared of u." He didn't respond to my second line.

Nope. I am not afraid of him. If I am, I wouldn't announced it in front of so many people. I think he needs to learn some manners just like he thinks I have poor upbringing. Sorry. I am only nice to people who are nice to me. His wife is always smiling to me. Naturally, I would smile back.

Actually, I am still not sure if he said that he wanted me to leave the company and that the two managers spoke up for me. I thought I heard that, but.. well.. I didn't try to confirm this.

Today, he came again.. The moment, he walked in, he started rattling nonstop to my supervisor disregarding my presence. I was just standing next to my supervisor. My supervisor pulled my blazer to prompt me to call him. But I didn't. Gosh, they are in a conversation ever since he walked in, am I supposed to interrupt and said hello? He left.

Later on, he came again. I was constantly looking for a chance to "call him". Finally, when he stopped talking, I shouted, "Mr *****". I really raised my voice. He turned back to look at me. I continued, "Hallo." The rest of my colleagues tried to extinguished their giggles.

Later on again, he came yet again. He just come in and out of the shop a few times today. I was in the midst of selling to a customer who returned to look for me. He came in and so the three of us attended to this one customer and his hyperactive kid. Don't think he's angry or dislike me anymore.

Honestly, I have been putting in only about 60% of effort in this job since I started. I didn't even bother to submit my weekly and monthly reports. Though, it's just me to always put in about 60% or less effort in whatever I do. Oh, except for my relationships. It's always a near 100% trying to treat my bf well. I'm glad JJ said that he knows how much I dote on him. Shouldn't he be the one doting on me, you may wonder. It's some 'only-child-since-young-been spoilt" syndrome he's suffering from.
