To Be Thankful pt 2
I stared at this boring “Write Post” page for so long, not knowing what to write. So I killed time by talking to my friends via MSN (something I rarely do after Plurk came, but then Plurk is getting boring nowadays). Then my friend Owen gave me this idea to write about how thankful I should feel.
I feel thankful that I still got an internship.
My internship time is not an easy one. I work in an agency where clients keep coming with new work (via my supervisors) and tons of other things to do. Of course, I bitched and moaned, I broke down, I felt like giving up. Seriously I feel physically and emotionally tired everytime I go home. (speaking of home, I have already moved to a spanking new place!)
But Owen told me a number of our friends who still don’t have an internship. And let me tell you, they are the fabulous ones, the ones with high GPA, the highflyers. Me, I’m a mere neither-here-nor-there SMU student, with pathetic GPA. (and please don’t say “Oh come on, you say it’s pathetic but it’s 3.+++ right?”. No it’s not.)
And so I’m blogging this. To remind you. If you are the ones who have jobs but hating every single minute of it. That your job is something you have to treasure, to be thankful of. And also to the ones who are still struggling to find jobs. It’s ok, there will be a fit for you somewhere. Probably not in an MNC, probably not in a big bank with fat check, probably not with a super cool package and long leave days. Don’t stop trying.
Remember to say the simple word. Thank You.

thank you for the encouragement
i hope u will work hard at ur internship too. remember what i said this afternoon yah. ur boss placed a lot of trust in u by taking u in for the internship position. u shd reciprocate and show him that his trust is not misplaced.
that’s how everyone should treat their jobs, even if it’s an internship position, a permanent position, a contract position, or even a part-time job.
jia you.

thank you for the reminder
i have a job, contract position, boring, low salary, i just simply hate it. what i do everyday is only sighing and wishing friday will come soon.
i know that there are still many ppl who dont have a job but still .. i even once said that i’d better stay at home, unemployed, rather than here, doing mundane stuffs for others ppl’s sake.
regret it now. shame on myself -_-
i’ll do my best here while keep trying for better job. this is all i have and i will endure the hardship.
wish me luck
