greet the transformers..

boss wanted me to recruit greeters for the stores..
a mundane job actually..
but it does have its special functions..
interviewed a number of guys..
and subsequently did training for them..
some of them were as old as me or near my age group..
they were either retrenched or not offered a new contract..
and i'm so blessed and thankful..
that i'm sitting on the right side of the interview table..

XXXXXXXXXX

after the greeters training on fri..
rushed to forum with boss cos later at the stroke of midnite..
there's a transformers 2 toy launch..
as usual.. i was designated to do the queue..
no easy task but i knew what he wanted..
especially after last year's star wars midnite launch episode..
rumour had it..
that the crowd's gonna be lesser than last year's..
boy.. were we wrong..

the crowd snaked all the way down from the queue at level 2 to b1..
we were in for a treat..
i hated myself though..
for i had to be the bastard to get things movin'..
creatin' spaces so that the exodus of the customers could go smoothly..
from b1 all the way to the store..
i hated myself even more for bro had to see the ugly side of me..
i scowled.. i shouted.. i yelled.. at everyone..
i was a ragin' lunatic that nite..

i agree with you bro..
i should have given you the confidence and trust..
that you are capable enough..

well at least..
it wasn't boss haranguin' on the walkie..
cos you guys have no idea what i went thru last year..
when he held the walkie..

success is sweet..
