I've been working at Mastereign Enrichment so far as a telemarketer. And though I haven't even touched what I am supposed to be doing (it's been almost a week and I've still been doing other admin stuff) I'm actually in charge of making appointments for the sales executive who's like my supervisor. Basically most schools have already worked with this company at least once, so Mastereign isn't unfamiliar to them.
I'm in charge of making appointments for their Mastereign Professionals section. It's actually enrichment modules for NT and NA students thats are actually funded by MOE, courses that enrich the students with elective practical skills that will prepare them for jobs like sound engineer, hairstylist, music producer, graphic designer, junior chef, for example.
Good afternoon, I'm just calling to check who is the HOD of PCCG in your school?
No, I don't need to speak to them in person, I just need to know the name of the person in charge.
PCCG stands for Pastoral Care and Career Guidance, mam/sir.
No HOD for PCCG? Oh, okay, thanks.
Oh, I'm calling from Mastereign, and I'm currently updating my teachers' list, so I just need to know the names of the HODs.
May I know how to spell that?
Ok. Thanks a lot. Bye.
Oh they're not in school?
When will they be back?
Okay then, I'll call back. Thanks. Bye.
That has been my typical script so far, for the past couple of days. I called up almost all the schools in Singapore and it's been really fun speaking to ignorant clerks and getting the phone slammed in my face. No, really, it's seriously fun, I'm not being sarcastic.
But I'm just surprised how much office staff don't know about the school. Most of them don't know off hand what's PCCG or who their HODs are. It just goes to show the level of service in schools. Tsk.
And I called up my old schools too. It was so nostalgic I tell you.
When I call up Mrs Ng tomorrow and telemarket the elective modules I'm supposed to market, I'm gonna be all hi Mrs NG!!! REMEMBER ME ANOT? I KEPT BUGGING YOU FOR HELP IN AMATHS! PLEASE AGREE TO MAKE AN APPT FOR MY BOSS TO COME MEET YOU AND SELL STUFF! :):)
or not. it might get me fired.
HUR. Work's been fun though. I'm looking forward to work.
And my dad is so weird. He told me he met Dick Lee today.
-.-
And we all know what a jokester my dad is.
But, apparently, HE DID meet him.
Cos even my mom said he did.
And my mom doesn't lie.
Apparently my dad used to have friends in high places in his heyday. (UGGH) Apparently Dick was his old bud. Uggh.
And if his claim is true, and if Dick's answer to my dad's supposed questioned is true,
then I know who wins Singapore Idol.
I WISH PAUL HAD WON THOUGH.
I'M SO BLOODY SADDED LUH.
PAUL IS ACTUALLY SO BLOODY HOT IN PERSON. =(
AND HE SINGS PRETTY NICELY, THOUGH NOT THE BEST.
JASMINE IS UNMARKETABLE.
JON IS JUST..EW.
I THINK I JUST DON'T LIKE JON COS LAURA IS OBSESSED WITH HIM.
AND HADY IS JUST..WELL, TOO BORING.
OH, PAUL.
I LOVE YOU!
AND I PROMISE TO BUY YOUR ALBUMS!
I won't go see Sing Idol on saturday liao. Or any consequent Season 2 roadshows anymore.
COS MY DARLING PAUL ISN'T THERE ANYMORE!!!!
='(
*CRIES*
martin came to fetch me from work today.
and i don't know why, but babe you looked hot today. :)
and we went to toa payoh, and whoopie! say yay for miss suaku.
I had my first McDonald's Milkshake today! YAY! Though the chocolate one I had wasn't that good. Was really thick and made me pretty full. HAHA.
And took 73 to my place. while waiting for the bus there were these 3 blind men who were holding onto each other's shoulder, which I thought was so sweet. Which is not the best way to describe it, but.. it just made me feel warm thinking that for them at least, there's someone they can rely on, and place their trust in, and trust their lives and safety with.
And don't we all wish to be able to trust our loved ones so wholly?
We sat at the windy spot again. Really wished he could have stayed longer, but he had to go off for his game, his first basketball game in months.
I miss you already.
