1. You work very late …

Just like prostitutes.

2. They pay you to make the client happy…

Just like a prostitute.

3. The client pays a lot of money, but your employer keeps almost every cent

Just like a prostitute.

4. You are rewarded for fulfilling the client’s dreams…

Just like a prostitute.

5. Your friendships fall apart and you end up hanging out with people in the same profession as you…

Just like a prostitute.

6. When you have to meet the client you always have to be perfectly groomed…

Just like a prostitute.

7. But when you go back home it seems like you are coming back from hell…

Just like a prostitute.

8. The client always wants to pay less but expects incredible things from you…

Just like a prostitute.

9. When people ask you about your job, you have difficulties to explain it…

Just like a prostitute.

10. Everyday when you wake up, you say: “I’m not going to spent the rest of my life doing this.”

Just like a prostitute.

What an innovation ain’t it?

One day we might have wheelchairs on skates, chairs on skates or chairs that are totally electronically controlled (the point where humans start to think and believe walking is a chore).

the time for gift exchange is here again. The time of the year, where consumer spending increases exponentially. Is chocolate going to the first thing that comes to your mind again? Personally for me, getting gifts require some talent and of course some luck.

Why talent?

In today context, where gifts are not just gifts. Alot of times, the thought is what it doesnt count. The gift has to be an object of practicality or value to the person receiving it. It’s not just a pure WRAP and GIVE procedure. Giving the wrong gifts come with consequences. The person receiving it will create a new perception of you when he/she unwraps the gift.

An example would be,

“OMG! What is this?! Totally useless.”

or

“OMG! This is so sweet. I love him/her to the max!”

or

“*sigh* Chocolates again.”

Now that you see the possible reactions one might have after receiving a gift, wouldn’t you give much more thought into what you buy? YOU NEED TO SERIOUSLY THINK ABOUT IT.

And there are times when you might just simply get what he wants but not what you want him to have. An example would be the following,

Getting him the latest Gizmos might make his day but not yours. Why? Cos it would mean YOUR TIME with him will become ITS TIME. So think twice about getting presents that fall in this category.

Some simple present ideas will be

  1. A watch/tie/wallet (if u know he needs it)
  2. Fragrance
  3. A shirt or tee shirt (you’d better know his size)
  4. Or customizing something to make it personal(Girls like this, but it does not necessarily mean that all guys do too)

Why luck?

Cos there are times when you just head out to shopping clueless. And after you spend hours strolling aimlessly in those retail outlets, you feel depressed and start to carry your heavy feet and head towards the MRT station instead. Home sweet home. And as you head back, you come across an object that caught your eye and your mind. THERE IT IS. The one thing that you are looking for.

All that is left to do is to get it to the counter, pay and get it wrapped. Now you see, luck is an important factor in gift selection.

There’s an easy way out of course.

READ THEIR WISHLIST IF THEY DO HAVE ONE.

Just did some blog hopping and I came across this post that one of my students posted with regard to knowing that I would be leaving the school for training in NIE coming January. That would mean I would no longer be teaching them and there is this unknown part of whether I would be posted back to the same school after a year of training.

 

Here’s a copy of her blog entry:
