Yesterday's dreams seemed so far away
I was woken by the ring of my cellphone. I saw the number and immediately recognised it as being one of the recruitment agencies that called me earlier on. This one seemed to cling on me - their deal. I guess they know that I am desperating looking for a job. They can hear my desperation through the phone, no matter how muffled it may sound like.
I replied "Hello" in a hoarse voice, though I tried as much as possible to sound as if I'm already awake. I realise I always do that. No matter who calls me. If I were still sleeping, I would answer the call as if I'm wide awake. I'm so living in my own facade. Yeah I know that.
So there came the news of a new assignment. I was quite ok with the remuneration that I was offered with, though it's nowhere near my ideal. But then, I reminded myself to stop being so picky and just go along and get that assignment. I won't want to wait for the sky to fall and find myself being covered by nothingness. Not even the cotton clouds which would probably diffuse past me. Ok. The lady recruitment consultant was very attentive, very concerned with my needs. And she went about being so polite. "No offense" here, "no offense" there. I want to slam down the phone to show her what offense really meant but decided not to. Cos I need a job. I desperately need a money-inducing machine, a personal ATM. And hence, I agreed to let her forward my resume to the client. Heard it's some independent company dealing with credit, atm, whatever cards. So the job scope is gonna be some admin work and data entry and whatever.
Wow. The usually restless me is actually settling for an office-based job!!! Calls for celebration?
Maybe after walking around for so long, it's really time for me to settle down for a while. To enjoy the air-condition provided in an office. To make free use of the computer and internet. And probably to dig my nose when no one is looking. The thrill of office work.
Just don't tie me to the office seat please. I'm not into BDSM.

Good that there is a job deal. Data entry is a very typical job at this point of time. No harm going through the routine once in a while. Hope u like it
