Money Money Money

The wedding. The gown. The banquet. The photos = $$$$$$$$$

The house. The renovation. The furniture. The monthly instalment = $$$$$$$$$$

As if my head isn't already exploding from trying to make the most out of my pathetic pay, I had just been informed that the company may not be able to support its existing operations for long.

I may go out of job, very soon.

Yes, yes. All of you will say, go find another job. No big deal.

Unless you have gone through job hunting the way I had, you have no idea what it means to be actually "hunting" for a job.

The last time I quit my job without an offer, I sent out over a hundred resumes within two months.

When I first graduated and was hunting for a job, I also sent out over a hundred resumes within two months.

I am not a bad worker. At least I don't think I am. I've had achievements at work that I am proud of. I've got a good attitude. But sometimes your resume just don't cut it. And it is no fucking big deal to own a bachelor degree. Every tom, dick or harry has one.

It's very tough having to put up an optimistic front when you're sinking inside. The money, family relationships, work. Or the lack of it. I am trying hard not to sink into depression.

Don't have money never mind. There's always good sex to look forward to when you're feeling down. = )

Anyhow best of luck okay (in job hunting). And screw your company. No wonder you have a lot of free time during work.

And when is your wedding ah? Will you be writing about the preparations and stuffs? Will there be pictures?

I know it's tough out there. There are any numbers of similiarly qualified people out there with degrees. Though I think you'd make a better worker than many other similiarly qualified people. It's a lot of stress and worrying to squeeze in.

And there's no need to get depressed. You have your health, your love, your dog and your friends. You have more than many people.

Remember, what doesn't kill you will only make you stronger. And then you'll kick ass because there's no point getting mad, get even and you can rebel against the wicked fates. Through adversity, triumph, through hardship, character. You can do it.

zhe bin: No, money is more impt than sex.

i had a lot of free time also becos im an efficient worker lah. hehe.

nope, i don't think i want to blog abt the wedding preparations. it's quite boring actually. And i've done quite a fair bit of prep liao. oh, it's in mid-dec =)

ogre: thank you. i do know that i still have all the people that i need. But it's the money dat's bothering me. No matter wat, my friends will not be able to help shoulder this kind of financial burden. And i also wouldn't want to share such burdens wif my friends.

sibeh sian: i don't even dare to think of the wedding now. The amt that to be spent is scary.

AKK : I've started searching and applying liao. Juz worried that I have to send out another hundred over resumes to even get a reply.
