End Of The Road
"Do you think globalisation has made our lives better?" (Ans: Of course! Without globalisation, you think you can watch your Korean idols and dramas ah? Your idol will probably be someone like Huang Wenyong and we'd still be watching local dramas like 雾锁南洋10之再战江湖. Hmmm, this is not a bad title...)
Huang Wenyong: If not for globalisation, he'd still be number one in S'pore gals' hearts.Duh, what kind of cock question is that? Nothing to do with the work and so standard GP. If they can anyhow ask questions like this during interviews, how come they don't ask me more interesting questions like "Why is it most men's fantasy to have a Japanese wife?" (Ans: They watched too much porn.) Like that, at least I can give a decent and coherent answer in 45 minutes.
I'd readily admit that I thought my answer to that written test was run-of-the-mill. Worse thing was that I thought the organisation of my ideas was very poor and the essay did not flow at all. So how did I get the job?
I can only attribute it to 4 things: (1) I consciously used very big words and flowery language to disguise the haphazard structure of my essay. Evidently, this strategy worked. See, my dear readers, all style and no substance gets you very far. (2) My experience in my current post which doesn't stand up to much scrutiny anyway (but too bad, they took my bluff because I looked decidedly in charge during the interview and was the one asking questions rather than the interviewers. It's one way of preventing them from asking what I do...by occupying them with my own questions. This also makes me look enthusiastic.) as pointed out to me by Jean Grey. Wait, didn't she get stabbed by Wolfy? (3) The other candidates must really be crappy! And (4), the biggest reason, Cyclops looks good. Very good indeed.
Oh, blimey, but who's this bloody handsome bugger? It's just like looking into a mirror...
So it looks like I've got one of my resolutions for the year fulfilled: To get a posting out of The Office© by the end of the year. Only left with one more. Get a girl by the end of the same period. This one's much trickier (and do NOT ask me about Gerrie) because it's nowhere in sight.
But life's full of surprises...so you never know...
So it looks like it's coming to the end of the road for me at The Office©. It has surely been a glorious time. Where else can I find the time to blog so much and form The Office X-Men©? But all good times must come to an end...I suppose.
