白色巨塔

haha, finally decided to go work in dad's office; the damn recruitment agencies and the pple at a very nice bakery which has an outlet at the national library hadnt bothered to give me a bloody phone call even after my repeated calls to them. so, it brings me to my topic today: rejecting pple.

we often get rejected in everyday life; whether it is in a romantic point of view, where a girl rejects a boy or vice versa, or in a commercial sense of view, where the company rejects an applicant. so, what is the so-called "proper" way to reject someone? if u ask me, there's no qualms abt it, face-to-face always works, whether in a romantic r/s or in a commerical sense. i mean, come on, sure, it's gonna wrench yr heart and make u feel so bad and fcuked u and watever, but as the saying goes, "chang tong bu ru duan tong" (pls use yr chinese pinyin skills here; the stupid blogger doesnt support chinese characters).

take for example, my job searchs. i had signed wif 2 places- one, a recruitment agency wif a posh office in a shopping mall downtown which shares the same name as my school, and two, a cafe at national library. after two weeks of inactivity since my initial visit to the cafe, i finally rang the cafe up. and to think that on my visit, they promised me a pt job- they were so confident and everything. here's how e conv went.

Me:" is this Mr xxx from XXX cafe?"

X:"Yes, may i noe who's this?"

Me, slightly bothered:"ITs nick, the guy whom u interviewed on tuesday two weeks ago?"

X:feigns ignorance, the dim-witted fool:"oh yea, how can i help u?"

Me, ready to strangle the person any time now:"Well, so how's my part time job thing goin? Do i have a chance or something?"

X, after a few moments of silence:"Oh, i'm sorry, but i havent fitted u into my schedule yet!"

Me, pissed off alr:"Wat! It's 2 weeks and u havent got me into the schedule yet? I remember saying that u would call me in a few days, and i havent heard from u at all for the past 2 weeks!"

X:"Oh really, i must have forgotten!"

Me:"u forgotten? hello, is this the way u do business? can u accept that if yr waiters forgot to collect the cash from the customer? wat's this? i'm not joking with u or anything u noe, its realli ridiculous!"

And i slammed the phone down. oh wells, some might say that i was too harsh and had a bad temper, but i noe wat i did was well, not uncalled for. wat do u think?
