HOLIDAYS + INTERNSHIP

SO, I've been working at my mother's office since 01 April 2008, yes, April Fools' Day. I initially wanted to apply to some clinic for a part-time assistant's job but then i figured I'd probably never get the job because they prefer 'Bilingual' applicants who speak both Mandarin & English (I'm sure they meant mostly Mandarin, but whatever), so yeah, I gave up that idea. And my mum said her office was short of work-hands and they needed interns so I've been put into the 'Marketing & Sales' Department and I'm working under Roopali and I have to make calls to advertisers, to hotels, set up appointments, type out databases, arrange name-cards - i feel almost like a machine. Also, I now truly understand what it feels like to be a 'working woman'. Soo.. my 'Internship Contract' (which I have signed) states that I have a work period of THREE months and I get paid $250 per month which = a pittance to most and to me too and that's why I argued with my mum but then I decided it wasn't so bad considering I'm only an intern and even the university interns got paid as much and they loved working here and I figured my mum deserved the help and seeing as how it is my mother's business, I should be all supportive and sporting. So right now, I'm doing just that (well, trying my level best to). Yesterday Roopali and I went for some 'scam' meeting at AsiaLink. It was actually quite funny. Like she said, "You meet all sorts of cartoons in this world". Tell me about it.
Anyhow, i just got my 'indiase' account made and now I have to start mailing intros and stuff to said advertisers and hotels. Also, I've got 2 appointments on monday. IN THE MORNING. sigh.

I guess this is how it is supposed to be.

So, yeah.
There go the holidays!
