Its the holiday!

This is bad. I realized that even though this blog's name is VCT, there aren't (m)any conspiracy theories. So this is why, this blog post will have at least one! Finally! But not that anybody reads this blog so who cares?!


Anyway, i received this mail:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I have no idea who sent this to me. But i can tell you this is a scam AKA a conspiracy, for the following reasons:

1. HOW DID YOU GET MY EMAIL?! SAY IT!! WHERE IN MY BATHROOM DID YOU PUT SPY CAMERAS?!

2. Not once, did they mention what sort of company they are. 

3. The title sent to me was 'Temp Job for JC Leavers (Earn up to $2500!)'. It was obviously just to garner your attention because they later mentioned it was $1000 to $2500. In case you have no idea, this means that you will earn $1000. 

4. The company involved, is obviously very biased. One they find members only from these 5 JCs. Two, they say that leadership positions will be an advantage. Bullshit because 'was a leader' =/= 'better for the job'. 

5. This section: 

 If YOU

• are open-minded and willing to learn
• have (or would like to develop) good interpersonal, organizational, negotiation and presentation skills
• are result-oriented, self-directed; takes initiative, and have a positive mindset and integrity
• are able to work as a Team
• can commit to work for at least 3 months

Now, tell me. From which motivational program did you get this from? This offers ABSOLUTE NO IDEA on what the job is. Every point is very vague because everybody has at least a bit of those qualities in them. Useless section is useless.

6. ''Our unit is just beside a Chocolate shop''. YAY CHOCOLATE. No, i would not be tempted by food. 

Finally, i give a big fuck you to the sender of this email because:

For 18 years, i never once had a 3 months break. Its a damn 3 months break! After that 3 months i'll go into NS and be a slave to the government! Now you want me to practice being a slave, of a company whose origins are unknown?! 

And just hold it. Don't start to argue that i never had any break from 0 years old to 7 years old. That logic is stupid as hell. You expect a kid to work like an adult? For that 7 years, i have just followed around what my parents said to do. And uh, my parents just follow what the government wants them to do somehow or another. In fact, at the ripe age of 18 i'm still doing the exact same thing.
