Now that one of your colleague is going to leave us on the 20th, I’ll start giving you guys special allowance so that you guys can help me go through the peak and finish off the accounts before due date. I know you guys can one lah… If need to arrange OT, just let your manager know, I’ll have him open the office just for you guys… I’ll probably give you guys special bonus after the peak. So yeah, consider this some kind of special incentive for staying here…

Right. Special allowance? Special bonus? HAHAHAHAHAHA!

I don’t feel like writing long stories here. I’ll try to keep it short. A girl resigns. Creates a lot of mess. My boss choses my supervisor to clean up her mess. My supervisor leaves the department to my senior, and me assisting him. And that’s when shit happens. My senior has 3 years experience, and I have 2 years. And we are expected to supervise our team. It’s great if our team is a team player and cooperate with us. Problem is? They’re not. We are just like farting around when we’re assigning jobs to them. I assigned jobs to them, and their respond?

“Why you assign so many jobs to me? I’m very busy, ok?”

And after they responded that, they go back to their facebook. Fuck them. Fuck facebook. Fuck one manga. Fuck forwarded emails. Fuck youtube. Fuck all the websites that kills productivity. You think I like to assign so many jobs to you meh? A job that can be done in 1 hour, you do it in a day. A job that can be done in a day, you finished it in a week. All pending. Not enough documents lah, need to confirm with clients lah, client don’t want answer my phone calls lah, I’m very busy lah. Busy my ass. Full of reason. Never find any solution to work it out.

Cheebye. Chao Cheebye. Just like this song.

Niamah. Like that also can ah? The jobs how? I telan all ah? I’m god meh cheebye.

I hate to blow my temper in the office, but sometimes, sometimes, I really can’t control it. I don’t like it when I’m angry. And non of my colleagues like it when I’m angry. You know, you put all those muka masam in front of them, when they see it also beh song. I don’t like it as well. You put all the pressure to me, you don’t cooperate with me, and you expect me to smile with you ah? 3 words. FUCK YOU LAH!

Sometimes I wish to play the resignation game, but I have a few things to consider:
1. My supervisor.
2. My financial position.

I don’t want to leave any bad impression to my supervisor. He’s a man with a lot of kangtaos, and prove to be useful in the future, if I needed his help. He desperately needed mine now, and I will give to him IF I still can tolerate the current situation. He understands the situation and both my senior and I in, but he cannot really do anything about it because of our boss.

And secondly, if I were to quit, means loss of income. True there may be lots of vacancies around, but I estimated myself to be jobless for at least a month before I can find a job that is suitable for me. I need money to feed myself and also my studies. I am thinking of full time studying, but I am really scared that I can’t do it because I’m too used of working.

I’m stucked in dilemma. It’s either I stay and help to push our team, or I quit.

Damn, that felt good. I wonder if this fucking idiot stalks my blog as well.

Right. It has been like years since I’ve written anything here. I’ve been really inactive in blogging. Maybe it’s because I have a really boring life eh? Working is shit. You work like a dog, you get paid peanut, and you have a boss that sets strict rules that makes something harder to get done. So what’s next? Do I have to record the time I go to toilet as well?

FML.

Right. Chinese New Year is approaching, and guess what? I took 7 leave days, so I’ll only be back to work on March. I just love February. Work for 2 weeks, off for 2 weeks, and you get a full month pay. Hah! In your face. Planning a Brunei trip for some sushi hunting in this 2 weeks CNY holiday.

p/s: Sorry for the really barebone theme. I like it this way. Feels like reading a Microsoft Words document, so I pretty much made my site Safe For Work? HAHAHAHA!

I always feel like writing about my life at work, but I think some stuff are better not to be on the internet to protect, well, privacy of some people, since the Miri is seriously small, and I think it’s not right to share some really shaddy business practice here in Miri.

BUT! This thing I am going to write must be written! To all those studying accountancy, PLEASE DO NOT MAKE THIS SILLY MISTAKE! The irony is that, this silly mistake is done by our very own bookeeping department.

I was assigned to prepare financial statement for this alcohol retailer. And the bookeeping is apparently, done by one of my colleagues from the bookeeping department. After looking through her bookeeping records and double entries, here’s the few things that I see strange:

• There’s no sales account.
• The cash in hand account is deficit. Negative. Imagine having negative amount of money in your wallet, which is pretty much impossible.

After inspecting the transactions in the accounts, I found out that she’s been:

• Crediting cash in hand on every “deposits” transaction that she sees in the bank statement.
• And on every cheque drawn out from the bank, it is debited back to the cash in hand accounts.

That’s the technical part. Right, now I am going to simplified this into layman terms. Basically it goes like this. I deposit RM100 everyday to my bank accounts for 15 days. After that, I withdraw RM1,500 in one lump sum. Then, I deposit RM100 for 15 days again. Then I withdraw RM1,500 in one lump sum. And I do this for one whole year.

Seriously. How do I prepare a financial statement from this accounts?

Let’s sue the internet! Hah!

I am going to talk about this stalker who’s an MLM marketer, and yeah, I finally agree to go out lim teh with him after a few weeks stalking my mobile. We met after work in a coffee shop yesterday. Like any other MLM marketers, they started the conversation casually, asking how’s life, how’s work, how’s study, how’s your girlfriend, etc. And after 5-10 minutes of bullshit, he say that he has something great to share. He talks about how our life would end if we’re employees, he talks about the stages of life and its enjoyment, he talks about retirement. Then he talks about the 4 types of people, and how one can enjoy life if they manage to jump from side A to side B. He talks about the active income and passive income stuff. Well, if you read Rich Dad Poor Dad, I’m sure you will know about this 4 types of people I talk about.

And then, he started to talk about the MLM company that he joins. He talks about how powerful the company is, how big the company is, how great their products, etc. He talks about the opportunity of him, able to talk to a Datuk casually. He brag about how the MLM company rewards their member if they manage to achieve a certain ranking. Fully sponsored vacation to places of attraction. All those nice stuff lah.

Well, I kept quiet and nodded most of the time when he talks about this stuff. Well, I agree with him when he talks the stages of life and the 4 types of people. I have nothing to disagree when he brags about the powerful MLM company that he joins. I have nothing to doubt, I mean, it is quite well established, as far as I know.

Then, he starts talking about how one can make money with a so called 20×20 plan when they join this MLM company. He says that, on the first month, you only have to find 20 customers and you can get a profit of around RM2,000 plus a bonus of around RM600. After you’re stable, then you can look for 20 distributors, and if this 20 distributors can find 20 customers like you did, you can earn lots and lots of bonus by just having your downline working on the customer. He says that looking for people is very easy, the chances are big, because there’s thousands of people in Miri itself. Then he talks about the rankings and all the earnings nonsense la. The winning phrase at the end of the story is:

“Now, do you have RM85 to spare?”

Epic WIN conclusive end.

Right, so anyway, I said “No”, cos I really don’t have RM85 in my wallet. Then he asked for my IC and I said no. He claims that this RM85 is refundable if I don’t get rich within a year. No gain no loss, as he claims. And so I said, “If you insisted on me joining and guarantees me this kinda of passive income in a year time, why don’t you tell me your story? I am curious about your successful story”.

So my first question, “How long have joined this company?”

He answered, “Last year May, but I only started seriously doing it February this year”.

Then I asked, “How many sales have you closed up until now?”

He answered, stuttering, “Er… so far none”.

So I proceed, “Right, and how many people have you recruited so far?”

He answered, “So far four.”

Then I said, “Miri has thousands of people, no? And you haven’t even close any sales to anyone, and thus far, you have recruited 4 people which I guess thus far also haven’t close any sales, right? I figure you have worked really hard to get this 4 people right? And working hard, is this even passive income that you’re claiming?”

“If you fail to achieve your own 20×20 plan, and yet you’re trying to get me into doing it, what makes you think I can achieve it?”

He kept quiet.

And guess what, since he failed to recruit me, he try to get me into buying his products. He say how good his RM18 toothpaste is compared to the regular RM5 toothpaste I use at home. He say how one can have economical benefit by using his products. Well, I didn’t manage to shoot him this time, cos my mum called me and asked me if I’m coming home for dinner. Well, I quickly use the “mum call me to come home” reason to get out from the scene. And yeah, our talks ends there.

Here’s the thing. I don’t think that their products is bad. In fact, I am using one of their products, and I must say I am quite impressed with what it can do compare to other products that is offered in the market. And as for their business plan, I think it’s not a bad one either. The 20×20 is achievable, though I believe the 1 month duration is a bit too short for people like me who’s currently employed full time. I don’t despise the business plans and the products. What I despise is the marketers.

Why do they have to be so persistent? I love to make money my own way, I have my own plans ahead, and my financial planning is not for you to bug in. I’m not seeking your financial advice, so please, don’t talk about financial planning with me. I have my own plans for retirement, and it’s not the MLM way.
