Vanny the House Elf

I am hideously shagged!! (ok.. do not actually like to use the word shag as might invoke dark dirty thoughts in others but really am really tired!)

I feel like Dobby the house-elf! ( Dobby is a free elf, Harry Potter, sir! Squeak squeak). Was posted to work at the Central yesterday (Lien’s outlet) as they claimed that they only had two staffs. Work was ok albeit a tad unpleasant as felt pissed at certain point of time. I do not really like the manager there. I am sorry Lien.. I know that you said that she’s really nice and always plays with you. Well, no doubt she’s ok and rather nice when I spoke to her.. but I just felt that she’s not very responsible. I felt like yesterday was a jellyfishy sort of day.

(Ok let me explain. Jellyfishy in the sense that everything would be all nice and pleasant when all of a sudden either the manager or D, the lao da would do something to make me feel annoyed. Then things would go back to normal.. then they would come along again.. STING STING! And back to normal again. It’s like being stung but not knowing where it all came from.- I got this jellyfish idea from Bridget Jones seeing that I am not that creative to come up with it myself.)

I received my first jellyfish of the day when I just arrived at work and walked into the store room. Saw D, the lao da inside and instead of a ‘Hello’ as what a nice and well-mannered person would say, I received a ‘Whoa.. so late then come ar…’ . Checked my phone.. which showed that it was 1.45pm and I was supposed to start work at 2pm. Grr... and I just retorted back to him that I was not late lor. Hmph. Think I’m afraid of you ar.. grumble grumble. Lol. Actually D, the lao da is not that bad on the whole. Just that his presence at Central invariably means that the store room constantly reeked of his cologne (gag!!), and that I can’t slack as much seeing as he is the lao da. Not to forget the fact that his pants are too tight and yet he still somehow manages to squeeze a wallet and a comb into the back pocket resulting in the pants to cling on to the buttocks snugly-which is a very, very disturbing sight.

As for the manager.. she starved me till almost 7pm before I had my first break ok!! It’s no wonder that I am pissed and you can’t blame me cos a hungry person is an angry person k! (And not to mention that eating is my fav! Lol.) You know.. after she went for her first break she was like practically in the storeroom the whole time.. occasionally emerging to check on the crowd situation at ClubMarc. Then she would disappear again. Leaving only Robin and I in the lurch when we were already short of people. Tsk! Shortly after that.. she came out and told me that she’s going for her second break when I hadn’t even go for any breaks yet. Well she did ask me if I were hungry and I replied ‘rather hungry’ at which she just told me that she will still go for break first and I could have mine when she returns. Grr. Neh neh. Then ask me for what.. ask already is equivalent to not asking. She then disappeared for her break for two hours plus by the time which my stomach has completely deflated like a punctured tyre. Grr. I really think that she is inconsiderate and irresponsible.. and slightly selfish seeing that she cares more for herself more than her subordinates.. and she is supposed to be the manager. Oh yeah.. actually I heard that she's been demoted to being a supervisor. Hmm..

Other annoying jellyfishes including her bugging me a few times to keep an eye on the ladies' department when I strayed to the shoes and men's. Like hello! Central is like a ghost town in the afternoon so what was I supposed to keep an eye on? Really don't like it when someone nags at me.

After that.. spent the rest of the night steaming clothes all the way till 2.15am and was totally and utterly knackered.

Hmm.. felt at home and happy to be working back at Vivo again today with Manuel the Menace and my manager Elaine. She was really nice to me today.. don't know what came over her. Like she treated us to drinks and BK. And I really do enjoy working with Manuel cos he always makes me laugh and he's nice to talk to =)

Okayss.. enough of complaining about work. House elves need to rest too. *Snaps fingers*. Poof!!
