what's happening
where do i even start. as you (i) know, i switch departments each new month, "job rotation" step-grandma Ginny called it. i worked in the accounting department from december to february when Ginny came back from america and decided i needed to have a well-rounded knowledge of the workforce. so i began working for the credit control department in march. human resources department in april. purchasing department in may. and now in june, im not sure which department im in, i forgot the name, was it "AP" something? where even is Ginny right now? is she back in america again? if so, im very envious TT
anyway, im quite neglected in this office. towards the end of my time in the accounting department, they've taught me everything that they do, even taught me the hard stuff but since im only a management trainee, they can only show me how shit works and dont really let me work on the real hard stuff, which i understood. so i did simple bookkeeping like making official receipts, purchase invoices, supply invoices yada yada yada but my most prominent task was filing stacks after stacks of papers (all in either numerical or alphabetical order btw) since i apparently work quite fast, they struggle to find something for me to do, so im left with the scut work. what im saying is... its like that in every new department. theyre gonna have plenty of things to teach me and many tasks for me to complete, but towards the end, im left with scut work/filing and very little trainee work. most times such as right now, im able to just sit and do nothing the whole day.
so i started to rebel a little (if you can even call it that). whenever Analcap would come to the mall near the office, i'd end up staying a few extra (work) hours with her, skipping work. not like they have anything for me to do anyway. and when i would return to the office around 2 or 1 hour before clocking off, nobody would care, its like they didnt notice i was gone, with the exception of yesterday because HR lady texted me asking where i was when i was out with Analcap. scared the shit outta me but when i returned to the office, nothing happened, and there was no penalty.
speaking about yesterday, me and Analcap were walking in the grocery section of the mall when a woman approached us. she was around 150cm or below, frail type of skinny, chinese, tanned, long (dyed?) wavy hair in a ponytail, dressed in casual modern-wear. she said something about her recently returning here from her son's funeral, said she didnt have any money on her and asked us if we could spare her some money to buy some food and water. both me and Analcap were low on cash so i offered to donate digitally but she didnt have online banking neither. so we decided to help her pay at the cashier instead. she asked if it was okay if we go to KFC, we said its alright. on the walk to KFC, she was asking us about how old we are, where we're from, where we're going for college, which is nice. Analcap whispered to me "i'll pay you later" i asked why as its MY money that im willingly donating and she said its a good deed to help a person in need, a grieving mother specifically. anyway i paid for her two-piece chicken and a drink (?), she gave her thanks and we left. afterwards, Analcap said to me "y'know that lady just now? she kinda stinks. i think she's homeless" me personally, i didnt smell anything.
this reminds me of the time i flew over to the capital city together with Analcap because she had a compulsory medical check-up for nursing school while i had a booked hostel viewing appointment. while i was accompanying Analcap at the hospital, a guy came up and lend me a handout, the paper wrote about how hes a deaf-mute guy looking for donations to help those in similar situations. i looked up at him and he signed that he was deaf-mute. i ended up donating 10 bucks in cash.
in both of those situations, i felt like there was pressure for me to donate even though my skeptical mindset (caused by mrs. public enemy no.1) was telling me its an obvious scam. but i think no matter how many of these pity scams come my way, i'd end up donating something. because im just too cowardly to say no. my dad will be really disappointed in me if he knows this
additionally, due to the liberating amount of free time i have, ive cleared out everything unwanted in my email inbox. from 4k+ useless emails to like 80+ important ones. also! i upgraded my debtors list from the notes app to excel. it now includes total debt ever recorded, overall amount paid, current amount they owe, reason, payment method, date of payment, and how long they took to pay back
