urgh... another bad day at work.
feeling kinda foul thru my insides.

nth went particularly wrong lah,
only i think i'd exceeded my
customer quota for a while there.

couldn't handle the endless line of customers...
greeting them, finding change for them,
typing in their credit card details,
helping them change their billing address,
answering their various questions/complaints,
all the time furiously typing, typing,
clickety-clickety-clickety-clack-CLACK!
thank you, miss/sir
and have a nice day.

i'll be nonplussed if the number of payments today
don't hit 450 at least.
so many freaking ppl,
so much freaking human-wastenoise.
uurggh..

and amidst all that,
i was keying in a whole stack of bill statements
for fuji photo film,
so now it seems that i've misposted a payment
for the 3rd time this week.
by right, they shud dock my wages
2 bucks per mispost,
but seeing that i'm not getting much anyway,
i think they'll let me off.
doesn't make me feel much better.

what a (exlpetive deleted) day.
i'm really not a people-person.
