Money

Root of all evil. Makes a lot of wishes comes true. Brings out the best in you.

Whatever is it about money, my sole purpose about finding my part-time job is money. It's the first thing that all of us take for granted besides parents, our initial education and our government etc. etc.

Origin of money dates back from hell-I-dunno-how-many-thousand-AD. People suddenly figured out it's best that there's a medium to represent the intrinsic values of properties rather than just barter blindly. It doesn't take a genius to invent nor spent money, but it does take a genius when it comes to getting it and keeping it.

Personally, I think that money is actually public enemy number one. That's right, numera uno. Because besides the wishes come true part, money instills greed in the hearts of mankind. Unfornately the best way to combat it, is to have lots of it, which might make the owner even greedier. That's the paradox that we're living in. Imagine how many billion people are in the rat race. All working and inching towards our way out. That's why game shows that offer substantial rewards are very popular amongst us. It's our way out. But are any of us actually going out? (Out doesn't mean death, okay) Most of us aren't.

Plus, in the early days, I meant waaaaay early (neanderthal times/ice age/stone age), do you know who owned that beachfront land? Or who owns that land where there's oil sitting beneath it? The copper/gold/diamond/steel in the mines of this earth? (Hint: Answer start with 'G'. And atheists' cannot answer this question. No offence intended)

All of a sudden some pirate named 'Human/Government' claimed it in their name. Luckily nobody claimed the air we breath in, I wouldn't want to pay for oxygen. All of us will be broke.

Being an idea of value or like some of us might say "just a piece of paper", money is a necessity to us all in this age. To break this monetary system that has been in our human lives way before any of us are born (unless your're an immortal like John Hancock and his hot female duo), is a colossal feat. It's just not possible, lalala la laaa.

However it remains a fact that IF (that's a big if) all of us (and I mean everybody) shared our money together amongst all of us, each person on this planet will have 2 million bucks each!!? We don't have to work no more. None of us should, we should do what we want to for our life, pursue our dreams and live happily ever after.

So, essentially we're rich, but the capitalists stole it for themselves.

Because the 20:80 rule (20% of the world population having 80% of the worlds wealth) which suprisingly can be applied to a whole load of other things in life (it's like the unwritten code of reality), money doesn't bring justice to its existance. The rich gets richer and the poor, poorer. Then revolutions come like the French and a new system starts, still based on money and still the problems persists.

I hate money, but I love to have lots of it. I'm insane, deluded, misguided and blinded, but, so are the majority of the population on the planet Earth!

So to me, the most respected people are the people that actually have loads of money and give them back to charity. Bill Gates one them, Rockefeller another and countless other rich people in our history that does give back to the community.

Although I havent seen any billionaire/millionaire who gave everything they have to charity (which should be truly respected, and I dare you Billionaires/Millionares!); It just means we're all bloody screwed and most propably wake up doing our routine job tomorrow morning.

You all do that; I'm gonna go find my legendary-work-from-home-part-time-job that can really be done part time and make more money!

I'm a sucker for a capitalist! Yeah!

Herbalife or Herbalies?

Minimum effort, maximum gain.

That was my next motto for getting my part time job. I mean, you wouldn't want to work at a construction for 2 bucks per hour right? Maybe 80 years ago yes.

Plus, there were some times when my boss actually wanted me to be at the office. So; Solution = work from home a.k.a. work in front of the PC.

So there I was, apart from the fraud companies I've come across, I have called every 'work from home' scheme known to the modern day man and walla!! ~~~ Still, fraud. 'Pay 400 dollars, get a stack of catalogues, distribute, and you'll get 1 buck for anything the customers buy' = fraud; 'Eat at a restaurant for a whole month and you get some dough for anybody who comes to eat there mentioning your name' = maybe fraud. Don't get me started at the typist/data entry thingies. Some of them could be genuine you know? ...or maybe I wasn't just lucky.

Then, at the side of the road, bearing "Work from Home, Ask Me How", I knew I heard that before, but where? Somehow remembering my motto, I thought: One last interview, c'mon, at least I get to meet a hot superchick if it's fraud.

Repeat after me, thank you Herbalife!!

"I made 20K last month, thank you Herbalife!!", "I lost 16 kgs in 4 months, thank you Herbalife!!", "I'm living the life I want, healthy, wealthy and sexy, thank you Herbalife!!, "I sued Herbalife and won 20 mil, thank you Herbalife!!".

Okay, I made that last part up. Then, they sat me with also a hot superchick saying, "Join us, and I can show you how to make an online business". Oh my GOD!! The resemblence is too much! What does all these signs mean!? Noooo!!??

Obviously enough, I went back after 30 minutes and googled 'Herbalife'. This time, the outcome wasn't what I expected. There was 'nutrition company but good at losing weigth', a whole load of online business selling their products, 'expensive but effective', a bunch of testimonials saying how good Herbalife products is and 'for those that don't like to exercise'. Whoa! You feel me! Man! You feeeel Me!

There was also "DON'T USE, products contains Ephedrine/ Ephedra". Then again, later I found out some years ago, Herbalife has stopped a line of their products containing those suppressent.

Oh, well. I'll KIV this Herbalife thing, I'm sure there are other part-time jobs I can do that fits my motto.

Suddenly that hot superchick doesn't seem so hot anymore.

Job Hunter 101

The name really rings with a cool sound. If any of you read Hunter X Hunter (it's a japanese manga by the way, very famous in uh, Japan), you'll know how cool is it being a hunter. Except that I'm a hunter with nothing to do trying to get to do something. Still cool, yeah, still super cool...

Job hunting is really very2 hard. Being a job hunter is no easy feat. Seriously, everybody thinks that, hey, there's plenty of jobs around, JUST PICK ONE. Huhuh, my friend, it doesn't work that way, at least not for me and another 7-8% of the jobless community. Or else we wouldn't be jobless...plus, there's the recession of course and some of them are jobless by choice. Those are the lucky ones.

Go to the the Star Classifieds, Metro Classifieds, News Straits Time Classified, that Monster site, JobStreet and there's tons of jobs around listed. But 50% will need a specific discipline/degree/diploma/masters/PhD/years of work/work experience in this field; that we don't have and don't know what the heck is that even. Another 20%, ~ fraud companies. Beware, these companies do exists to siphon away money from the pockets of the untrained.

I specifically went to two interviews, both of them interviewers are hot superchicks. I guess for gals you'll get handsome superguys. "You just have to pay 100++ bucks and the company will try our best to get you a job", says them. Thank GOD I have ma sexy lady at the back of my head that helped me to wane off my natural instinct of just doing whatever they say.

"What?!", Sez me, I come here to get a job, not pay for something, and I just went off. What a job hunter got to do, a job hunter got to do. Well actually, I just didn't have the money >:)

When I came back angry and googled (is that even a word?) the bloody companies in question. Bham no.2 and no.5 in the top 10 list of fraud companies. Obviously trying to con job hunters alike. Suddenly, the advert "Typist: 8-10K per month" makes sense. If typers earned that much money, I'll beat Warren Buffet's wealth count two years ago.

If something is too good to be true, it probably is ~ my mum used to say. Urrgghh, I just wish someday I'll get the better of my mum and beat her 30+ years extra wisdom she has over me. Just not gonna happen...

So, back to the drawing board (which I don't really have) with my newfound wisdom, "never trust hot superchicks".

Early days (or half-year) wasted

Having nothing to do, really does has its perks. C'mon, time is the single most useful resource we humans have that we usually take for granted. If I can save 30 minutes that I spent on average saying bad things about my co-workers per day, I can actually make tons of money working 25 bucks per/hour at the construction site per year.

Being the brainiac, it'll be a 4562.50 dollars bonus for me per year. Plus, I get less of the sin of bad-mouthing those butt-kissers.

And on average now, I have 4-5 hours free time. Huhuh. Dude! That adds up to 41062.5 dollars bonus per year. Shit, we humans are rich, we just don't know it. Of course except for Bill Gates, Warren Buffet, Richard Branson, Michael Dell and the likes.

The early days of being jobless will definitely hit anybody with nothing. Literally nothing. Becoz we humans are not trained to change our routine from multi-tasking to nothing. The effect is more severe, because, then our minds will start to wander to neverness more often, we'll start noticing the cool movies that we always wanted to watch but didn't have the time and actually watch them, during working hours!

And the talks at the bars and pools will be of entertainment, booze, girls and how to make it big. We'll have time to actually spend our money. To go for whatever our dreams was. To break the high scores of the Yahoo! Games. Go on a vacation and not care about the world. Whoa! That is cool...

For the moment, it'll be cool. But shit! Look at the date, it's been 6 months now and I'm already full of cholesterol and carbohydrates. I'm about to bust the record for 'longest playing online games' and 'longest nobody from the office called', and the 75 cable tv channels boasts nothing new to me.

The perks are too good that we end up soaking ourselves in it. It's like heaven on earth with a twist of hell. Don't be fooled by the devil that makes it all look cozy and nice.

I really do sound like a saint but hell, I started to look for part-time jobs. Hehhe, wouldn't mind to actually earn the bonus I calculated, 41062.5 dollars per year and actually get my ankles moving.

Woho! Big future ahead!
