Get Me My AC Uniform

Usually, I'm not THAT much of an elitist, especially in uni where I'm constantly surrounded by people far better than myself, my ego has deflated to be like the volume of ahlina's hair.

However, I had a major ego boost yesterday.

I applied for a job listing online, and the guy got back to me the next day with an email saying that he will contact me soon. Ok, at this point I have to confess, I immediately copy paste his name given in the email onto FB's search.

Major siandiaospiderrr.

Soon after, the guy called as promised and 24 seconds into the convo, he switched from channel 5 to channel 8. Weird right, considering this is a "job interview". He told me bout the company and what not, I googled and somehow it linked me to some big company (Ernest and Young). Turns out it's just a scam, it's not even close.

So on the interview day, I was supposed to meet the guy at Boon Keng MRT and he sent me multiple smses(which were quite informal), one of which says "you reach ald le mah", I could totally smell doom.

We met and he took me to this cafe/canteen and started bladdering on and on about how their company is about sharing and not sales, how we as youths shoud try out new stuff... I could go on, but it would take an hour like how he did.

Finally, we went up to the office and he went on about who he respects in the company. By now, you must be asking a familiar question to the one I had in my mind :" So what is this company anyway and what position am I applying for?

The answers are "Multi-level sales"(TOTAL SCAM) and "Ordinary manager"(NAIVE NEVER WATCH TV IDIOT).

Yes, a total waste of my precious limited short-lived youth.

And throughout this whole time, The Adeline's Mind Theatre was having a show non-stop.

Chapter 1,

"Do you know who's Micheal Dell?"
"Do you know what's factory direct sales?"
"Do you know what's ISO?"
"Do you know what's DSAS?"
Of course I dont know lah! so I answered "no" to all the questions above.

"Aiyo, uni students ah..."
"Only know mugging but lack general knowledge"
Yeah I wont deny that, I dont read the news and I know very little about what's going on in the world, but I dont need to hear it from someone who says he likes cars but havent even heard of Rolls Royce tyvm.

And Herro! you use all your work jargon to bomb me, of course I wont know right! If I ask u "do you know what's a Thalamus?" you know meh? huh! HUH! I bet you dont even know what's Newton's first law.

Chapter 2 (where I showed blatant disinterest in joining their company)

Act 1
"There's no contract, no bond, you just need to sign here, this is just like a consent form."
"No, can you give me some time to consider, maybe I'll get back to you soon."
"But there's nothing to consider, there's no risk in this, I dont know what you still want to think about."
Yeah me neither, cuz there's nothing else to think about except to get out of that hell hole. And in case, you couldnt tell, I was being nice by not just walking out without a word. I like to appear to have a high EQ.

Act 2 (at this point, his tone was really sour and bad)
"Last time, when I joined I also didnt know anything, but I just joined and I learnt alot."
"But I'm not interested in this line, I dont want to join and be unhappy and not commit."
"You cannot say liddat, the society is not just about interest, there're many uni grads who are taxi-drivers, you think they're interested in it? We need to try out nw things mah."
You leally cannot tell issit? Its just another another stupid excuse to get myself out. And I dont think those uni grads drive taxis cuz they wanna try out new things, they most probably have a better foresight than you. Furthermore, for people who are damn capable (myself not included), interest IS a determining factor, ask those people who aced their A-levels and had a buffet of uni courses laid out for them. So you can take back your dumb advice and go lick your own wounds cuz I dun need it.

Act 3
"Just let me think over it and I'll call you if I wanna join."
"I know you most likely wont call me back."
Amazing! Maybe you should quit this job and become a fortune teller.

Act 4
"You never know what's gonna happen in the future, I think ten years... no five years later, you'll regret this."
Maybe not, I take back what I just said. I wont even remember your name or the name of your company. I'll just go like "oh yah! that time I got sacmmed too..." whenever someone brings up their kena-scammed stories.

Chapter 3 [I got out (FINALLY!)]
"Life is not just about interest, I hope you think about what you want in life."
Oooo soo deep. I may not know what I want in life (I want to be Yamapi's wife! I want to be a pirate!) but I knew what I dont want since a long time ago. However, it seems YOU had never given it much thought before, so save your lectures for yourself.


But, because Adeline is an extremely spineless species, she can only rant on her blog and couldnt have said all of these straight to his face.
