i was given a specific job scope when i accepted this bloody office job offer. i will liaise with clients, review their advertisements, design page layouts, check with them, do any changes as they see fit, until they're happy. $7 per hour. thats all right.

but from day one of my job, i have not talked to a single client, i have not worked on a single advertisement, i have not worked on a single page of the directory!!!

instead i've been made to work on changes to their BLOODY WEBSITE. which is supposed to be taken care of by another branch, in bloody PHILIPPINES damnit. so instead i've been made to REVIEW THEIR STUPID WEBSITE, and pretty much REVAMP it, this fucking website which is so full of fucking typos and grammar mistakes and all the while i have to bloody SKYPE the people in the philippines to have them do the changes.

first of all, why the FUCK is the singapore branch's website being done by the people in the philippines??? maybe they're in charge of the websites, but here they're supposed to be working on the printed directories and i dont see the people here doing the publication for the philippines business pages!!!

second of all, during the interview the boss told me that my work would involve more of designing and all that. but INSTEAD im fcking working out changes to be made to the website and then TELLING the philippines people to do the work. this isnt a designers job! this is more of liaising, hr, almost bloody management of the bloody website. and for that i am SEVERELY underpaid, SEVERELY underqualified ... i would bet that now i know about how the entire company operates, and how their services operate, more than most of the other people in the room. which isnt bloody right, for an A level grad and 7 bucks an hour i should be filing and getting papercuts or something.

i wouldnt be so annoyed if i was clearly and honestly told from the beginning that this is what i would be doing. then i would have had a fair chance to reject the job offer, at least. whats more is that NO ONE ELSE here is working on the website, so no one else knows what the fuck is the work im doing, no one except the bloody boss. so i have to work alone and if i have questions i cant ask anyone else and it SUCKS. ok.

AND, if the website thing is so bloody important, WHY doesnt he just get it straight to the boss over at the philippines office, which is doing the website?? why does it have to go through an additional person?? it fucking doesnt make sense.

AND im getting fatter and fatter every day which makes me hate this job more and more. FUCK IT ALl!! BLOODY FUCK!!!
