it's my first time working at such a highly reputable company. even as a receptionist, i felt a huge sense of responsiblity on my shoulders. there was no screwing up allowed because people were doing businesses as usual and i wasnt supposed to ruin it for them and expect them to forgive me just because it's my 1st day. thankfully, i dont think i did.
the phone rang endlessly in the morning. people on the phone were pretty friendly. wait. actually most people in the company were pretty friendly. even smiling at the finest point of just entering or leaving the office. that was nice.

he didnt give me a shot to be biased. not even a little bit. sucks for you, honey.
that's the real world. the society aint all that nice and perfect. and as ironic as it sounds, i'm kinda glad i encountered that because i've gotten the chance to experience the legendary "annoying client/customer" that everyone meets. who knew even working for just one day could be such an experience? at least now i know what a polycom is.
i'm going to raid the entire christmas section at daiso after work tomorrow. awesome.
and now, i shall go off to puke after staring at the computer for the entire day.
