unmotivated me

i must have applied to hundreds of other companies everywhere in the world. some did bother to acknowledge receipt, but most of the time they send rejection letters a few days later. haaay.... i really want to get out of this company. they are really exhausting the staff down to their last breath. two weeks back was really hectic. we celebrated the 35th anniversary of our company at the marriott hotel. the event was on a sunday but guests started arriving on friday. so it was nothing but four nights (monday included) of non-stop breakfast, lunch and dinner meetings. we were tasked to mingle with clients whom we have zero interest at all. it was so hard to sound interesting when you know you're very ordinary to begin with.

last monday was the mooncake festival, a national holiday in hk. unfortunately, we got a customer coming over. see how shitty it gets? you've been robbed off your whole weekend and just when you thought you have 2 and a half day rest, they're still taking it from you - uncompensated!

boss: so the meeting is at 10:30 on monday. but you need to meet the agent at 9am so you can do the preparations
me: can we not work on saturday? monday is a holiday and it's just fair that we get that written off somehow.
(silence - she must have been slapping me in her mind)
boss: no! im so surprised that you even had to ask that. you know that no matter the day, when there's a client we have to be there. and you still need to go to the office during work hours
me: but monday is a holiday! you're robbing us another holiday.
boss: it's not my fault.
me: but can we at least have another extra annual leave?
boss: no.

shitty, eh?

lord, im really in dire need of a new company. please please let me get an interview with any of the companies i've applied for.

im losing my sanity here.
