in order to feed my sneaker addiction and to boost my rapidly-disappearing stash of cash, i've started to look for a job. okay it so happened that i was brewing a cup of coffee, so it occured to me to work at Starbucks or something. i guess it must be cool to work at a coffee place..you get to breathe in the sinful scent of fresh coffee and if you're not into that sorta thing, too bad.. you're stuck with it anyway. i didn't really mind that cos you get to see cool people at the coffee joints and surely it can't hurt to be close to sweet stuff..free smells like what famous amos says. alright so i checked the new paper fastads and yup there were ads for jobs in coffee places. but not the hip coffee spots in town..the ones in the new paper were for coffeshops. Yes not Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf , not even 7-11...more like S-11. I was like -.- damn i ain't working in no coffeeshop, wearing white singlet and shorts and yelling kopi-o and teh-see while melting in the heat. no offence to coffeshop helpers - they're doing honest work- but it just ain't for me. someone once said that if you like your job then it won't seem like work. so i just need to find a job which i like. sounds easy. i could go work at some sneaker shop and be surrounded the whole day with shoes. I guess i have the necessary credentials and what-not..i probably know more about the shoes sold then the employees in the store haha. when i ask about stuff at such stores this is the typical conversation Me: How much are these? Store guy: $XXX Me: Alright thanks Store guy: These are the latest model, just imported from Japan Me (thinks): Yeah right..don't try and kid me..i saw those online like 3 months ago and they're from europe. and you're bloody overcharging for them too see? since i'm so much of a smart-ass i might as well have fun doing it and get paid to boot. too bad i wouldnt last long in that job cos i would dissuade everyone from buying them so i can snap them up myself when i get my pay haha
