I felt like crying.
Not for happiness, or joy, or whatever. My last day at STOMP.
Felt really disappointed and sad, despite putting on a smiley front for everybody...
I really can't believe it, its so hard to believe it.
Yes, its true that I left at a critical moment, but I had proper, valid reason to do so!
I was suppose to quit in March 15th (presumably the date of the first enlistment).
Then I postponed it to April 30th (presumably so that I can have a nice holiday during my birthday).
But in the end I postponed it to JUNE 15th.
Something serious cropped up, so I had to forward the date by 5 days.
FIVE DAYS.
and thats enough to have people bitching about me, glaring at me, feeling "disappointed" at me etc. etc.
FIVE DAYS is enough to show me the true colors of some people I presumed to be "friends".
I feel so damm used.
I thought those people were my friends! No. In the end, these people would trade "work" for "friendship", "memories" for "productivity".
I STAYED IN STOMP TO HELP OUT.
(yes. And get experience as well, but I hell as day don't need STOMP to get experience.)
Its like WTF lah.
I get paid $680 a month, while most of my friends who're working are earning $1680 a month.
I work >44 hours a week, with pretty pathetic overtime pay.
THERE IS NO OTHER REASON WHY I SHOULD CONTINUE ON EXCEPT THAT :
I STAYED IN STOMP TO HELP OUT.
Now that there're TWO more new interns, my job here is done.
I should have quit a long time ago. But I stayed to orientate the interns.
Finally, the thing that flipped me out the most was :
*screams*
I DID NOT BEG TO STAY ON AT STOMP!!!!!!
ARRRGH!!!
WTF
WTF
WTKNNBCCBF!!
You'd go all the way out to put me down, just because I left 5 days earlier?
I feel like some sort of tool, when it gets dysfunctional, you curse and throw it away.
I'M A BLOODY HUMAN OK?
AND I THOUGHT THAT YOU WERE MY FRIEND.
ok. I should have known better.
serious.
sigh...
But there were still my beloved AV producer team and some of the rest who did remember that today was my last day, and celebrated for me at Marche.
Could tell that the air was still pretty tense though...
I'm really sorry that I can't stay for a few more days, coz next week its a very important week for me...
Jeanette, Stanley, Jacen, Kai Wen, Adrian
Jasmine, Wei Zhen, Darryl, Mas, Desiree, Ishmael
and the rest of the interns...
Really, thanks for remembering me and saving me from the brink of tears...
... nine months at STOMP, I'd guess that there'd be a bigger bang then this..
never guessed that some people treated me as a tool...
seriously, how many people can take earning $45 a day? Even my younger brother earned more then me for a period of time.
I love my friends, especially the AV team, thats why I stayed on to help out.
I've stayed on longer in STOMP then some of the pioneering team, but I guess, being an imaginary "intern", my name wasn't even worth mentioning.
... only bitching.
Thanks for teaching me a lesson. Friendship and work are 2 separate things. Without friendship, there can be work, but without work, for some, there can be no friendship.
sometimes... people tend to forget any good you ever did...
