my ambivalent attitude

Wednesday, October 25, 2006

I didn't expect us (TS and me) to land up with a job that quickly, for that matter one which starts as early as tomorrow, though the data entry position at Alexandra Hospital will only last for 3-4 weeks and the salary is set at $6 per hour. I guess calling up personally at recruitment agencies helped a bit, appearing at Adeco and Kelly's Services offices somehow made the consultants group us under the priority list probably because we looked more sincere. Haha. But I was momentarily confused when I accepted the assignment, taking mental note of my planned schedule for the next week, chiefly my earliest driving lesson tomorrow. Frantically put my slot under try-sell when I reached home but I think my worries were unwarranted since I received a SMS notice that the try-sell was successful within minutes. And it pains me to go for driving lessons in the weekend (if I do not want to go for night lessons on weekdays) because of the extra $8.50 involved. Sigh, without money in my wallet, frugality is an imperative, have to think twice before spending every cent.
