My father-in-law keeps $ that does not belong to him!

I was at his house last Sat for a visit when mother-in-law told me that a cashier at SS supermarket had accidentally given my father-in-law more $ than she should have. So I asked her if he returned the $ to the cashier. "Of course not!" came the reply. "Huh? Why?" I asked. "Why should he when he can get to keep the $???" Oh my gosh. I was disgusted. It was not a matter of a few cents but $20-$30! Now the cashier would have to pay out of her own pocket. When I told my mother-in-law that she may get retribution, she said "No, no. Keeping $ given to us is not a crime. After all, it is not as if I robbed someone". I was dumbfounded. Why did my father-in-law have to do this? It is not as if no one gives him any $! My hubby, his twin brother & his 2 sisters give him $ on a regular basis. Only his eldest son & 2nd daughter do not give a single cent. (Well, that's another story.) It seems that one can't get elderly people to change their mindset. It is well, like cast in stone.

Stupid interviewers!!!

Can you believe this? I went for an interview for the position of Marketing Executive. Do you know what irrelevant questions the interviewers asked me? And do you know how they reveled in it??? Let me show you how ridiculously the interview went:-

Interviewer 1: So do you exercise?
Me: Yes I do
Interviewer 1 (with a look of incredulity): Oh, really?
Me: Yes
Interviewer 1: So what kind of exercise do you do?
Me: I jog
Interviewer 1: What?
Me: I jog
Interviewer 1: Oh. You jog... How often do you jog?
Me: Once or twice a week depending on the weather.
Interviewer 1 (inching closer now): How many kilometres do you jog?
Me: I don't know. I just jog 3 rounds around my estate & there are no distance markers.
Interviewer 1: The job requires you to go to another faculty near here. Do you have any mobility issues?
Me: No I don't.

Hey hey! I am not applying for a position to sell sports equipment. I am just applying for a desk-bound job. Why did he ask me so many stupid questions?!?!?! I am not even fat in the first place! In fact, I am underweight. And I am physically fit. What's with that "Do you have any mobility issues" question? Is he implying that I am old for the job? I am only 28. Duh!!! Stupid interviewer!!!

What's wrong with that Raymond???

Why the hell does he always ask me to do his subordinate's work when she always take vacation leave, sick leave, urgent leave when I am not even from his department??? WTF. Does he think I am his staff? I am so angry with him! It is not just once or twice or thrice, but too many, many times!!! Why doesn't he go & ask her why is she always taking leave instead of asking me to do her work? I am NOT your maid. Period. Oh my gosh, this really makes me mad. There was once I tried to stand up for myself but he got angry instead! His face turned red, as if it was my fault! Hey! So what if she is pretty! You got to be fair man! You can't just agree to her leave requests without finding the reason for it & then making other people like me the victim! And when I am on leave, there is NO one to do my work because my work is in Japanese. She need not worry about my work being passed on to her. How fair is this!

Save that indirect criticism!

Grr!!! I need to vent! My ex-colleague Eva wanted to become an airline stewardess with JAL, so she asked me for help in Japanese as she will be tested in Japanese during the interview. After helping her with it, we chatted about career & I told her a lot of my friends encouraged me to be an airline stewardess with JAL as I could speak fluent Japanese. There is no doubt I will get the job, they added. Eva, instead of being grateful to me for assisting her with Japanese, went on to make indirect criticism of me such as by saying potential employers will scrutinize your face & it is not just a cursory glance, she added, inching closer to me, her eyes widening. Ok, so I get it that she was saying my complexion is terrible & won't make the cut. And she was not over. She asked me, "Oh, how old were you when your friends asked you to be an airline stewardess???" Implying of course that I looked older than my actual age. This annoyed me further & I had to grit my teeth before I coud answer her question. I was 23 then. Is that considered old? Duh! Ungrateful brat! I hope I dun ever see her again!
