welcome to my new blog, one and all!
got my phone bill this month. never thought $2.75 per minute would set me back so much while i was in korea.
grand total: $289
i'm totally screwed. after paying for my own korea trip ($2100 including expenses), my china trip ($900 excluding expenses) next week, my piggy bank's empty. not expecting any help from the family too. what's more, the internship at Edelman in july's gonna pay me peanuts. sorry i'm complaining but i need to get this off my chest. i've never lived like this before! baby says he'll help me but he's not doing too well himself too now.
went for a marketing executive job interview today. it sucked. 80% admin work? no thanks. i could not find a nicer way of saying no than "I think I need to consider". maybe it was the nature of the work the company did (B2B media company, i shan't say who). didn't like anything they said. maybe it was the WAY they said it? or maybe i don't like marketing/sales much. well.
anyhows. (Company x) sent their contract over today. Damn thick la. Loads of confidentiality agreements and a code of conduct agreement. I think it's gonna be a hell of an experience working there. another smaller agency just called for a second-round interview though, for a full-time position. not sure if i can get through. if i do, then i'm gonna be facing a real headache. both ways, dad isn't too happy about it. he doesn't understand what pr is, and he said i'd have no future in it. thanks dad.
okays enough with the jobs and money. going for dinner with yf soon.
ps. if ever i meet up with any of you during this period, please understand i can't go anywhere fancy. thanks!
