Unemployed

So it has been about a week that I am unemployed. No cash flow, no jobs, and no career. Remember when you were kids, your parents said that you need to go to school so you can get a good job. Well that good office job that my parents and may be yours has been saying all along was not what I expected.

I had experienced working at the lowest job that some of you would not even done. I've met some low lifes and live challenges that people around me wouldn't be experiencing. Starting from having a random dude just got into the back seat of my car and asked me to take him to NYC, while we are sitting in some neighborhood in VA to getting attacked by two german shepperds and have them beetches carved their teeth into my calf and more (there are more shits that I'm not trying to get into detail). I cannot say that I'm bitter for all those mentioned. I'm actually blessed that I've those life experience.

However, those are the things that I experienced when I was at the bottom and trying my best to get to the top by going to school, get my degree etc. I did all I could with one thing in my mind, I wouldn't be facing those piece of shits and life experience as if I life in a jungle where I gotta be the hunter (aggreesive/defensive) before I got hunted. I just wanted a chill life, where I do my shit and you do your shit and don't give me shit.

As of last week, it was my third month working at my second job in the corporate world. I had a good first year, good mentor/manager, and colleague who contributed greatly in breaking me in, popping my cherry in my first corporate job. It didn't feel like a job at all. The whole one year I was there, it felt like I went into this private training created just for me. Everyone was so nice, helpful, and friendly. I've made great friendships that I hope to last a lifetime with the people I encountered there.

My second job, not so much. I definitely got a rude awakening, a reality check on how it is without all those people that have guided me through. First thing I noticed at the second job, people are more worry about kissing the superiors' ass and being nice for the sake of professionalism around the office. It was so apparent, a second grader could tell you that they are a bunch of fakies. The laugh was sarcastic and devious. Those little "good job" or "that's nice" comments are misleading. The professionalism was practiced by the hypocrites.

The comedy comes in when I received a mass email from the HR Dept giving every employee to click on the provided link to vote that our company was the best place to work on Business Week Magazine (we were voted as 100 best places to work for a few years in a row). The email came twice within a period of one week. And at the bottom of both email, it says print out your voting confirmation and redeem your starbucks giftcard. HAHAHA... I went to my cube mate and I told him best places to work my ass!!! I did vote and I was never so honest in my life :)
So for those who think that they are working for some company listed as "The Best Company to ... " and you're proud of it... L O L (I think that's enough response from me).
