the ugly working world
today. i talked to one of my ex colleagues. and he happened to be a very experienced freelancer. he told me something really very important and i guess it'll be deep down in my heart. and i actually used it today. just very now.
he said"my exboss told me, when we are climbing up the ladder, treat everyone nicely. cos we'll see them when we are down"
so true. and just now i opened my email and got a reply straight in my face from this client. he said that my rates are too high etc. added a tinge of sarcasm by ending with BEST OF LUCK.
and i grit my teeth and apologise and asked what's his budget and will try to work with it.
in my heart.. i felt like saying.. for godsake. no one wants to help you to do that's why you come to me. i actually fly his aeroplane when i was looking for a full time job. told him that i'll come down for an interview and then i didn't turn up because it was fucking far. AND then this morning i received his sms saying that he wants me to work part time $6.50 per hour. 12-6pm. and i rejected him stating that my current pay is prolly higher. being cheapo and budget, he said he cannot afford. being NICE of me.. i say i can do freelance.. then email started.
if he's co is so damn good, then dun find me. and guess wad, his first email was praising my website. saying that he loved it. pengz.
even if i need money for my high maintainance life, i also won't go below my dignity and pride. fucker. HAHA! ok lar. it's a small matter. i guess i must start to face the ugliest things in life like insults and sarcasm. cos i guess it'll only get worse when i go into the bank to work. haha! wo de tian ar....
i think i very long nv post pics liaoz. my camara's cable is greenish. think rusty plus moldy liaoz. yucks. it's actually a calling for me to go to bed and not think of posting up any pictures!
