(no subject)
i'm very annoyed by the new admin staff that joined last Thurs. female, single, thirties, extremely auntie. she keeps asking all these personal questions over lunch on Monday, like why do i have so much gray hair (it's hereditery), why don't i colour it (cuz i'd rather have gray hair than NO hair), why my Algonquins jacket is double-sided (how the fuck would i know?!), etc etc. i felt like i was being interrogated and i hate to bring personal stuff into work, so i purposely went out with the deaf-mute guy for lunch today. and guess what? i got chided by the other auntie admin staff for "ditching my new kaki" aside. excuse me, wtf?
admist their conversation topics of Coach, Corningware and The Shichida Method, i can almost feel my brains oozing out from the ears. =___=
rant aside, i'm addicted to reading the news on the stock market financial crisis that's sweeping the entire world right now. ever since the day where Lehman Brothers went down, the domino effect of collapse and bankruptcy infected every single financial institution out there, and soon you can expect the effects to be felt closer to home, as exports drop and manufacturing output slows down. i'm not tied with investments, stocks or debts, but i can't help but worry about my current job as we're in the manufacturing business. if a 148-year old bank can declare bankrupt overnight, what makes you think that a paper contract signed by employees of different companies can gurantee payment whatsoever?
sadly i hadn't been a good girl ever since i got this job, and didn't save as dilligently as i used to. gah must really start somewhere from now on. my monthly expenses aren't exactly high, but Jap classes did major damage. finally started on Intermediate II Term II last night, so once the JLPT 3 prep course is over, i'd only attend once-a-week Advance classes, which cost the same as twice-a-week Intermediate. but studies are for long-term, right? same like facials, scalp treatments and body massages, right? because it's my goal to look like Kuroki Hitomi when i turn forty, haha. XD
