Fast forward to 2011 Feb...

never thought I would join another uniform group again which also happens to be my last.  Though this time round it was a private security company.  Initial period was ok till I got posted to a location that resulted in me performing duties like border security.  The duties were great but the exploitation of manpower was horrendous.  Imagaine sleeping at 8pm and waking up at 2am and starting working at 4am and ending at either 10pm or midnight and then sleeping at 1am and starting the next duty at 4am again.  In between these periods, I'm like carrying a damn bloody revolver for almost 18hrs - 20hrs without knowing whether the weapon will save my life when the time comes cos have never tested the weapon!!!!

There were times too when i had to work like 24hrs straight and once I had to work 36hrs straight without even being able to inform my family, my dogs were left to fend for themselves and I had no extra uniform in my locker.  All these exploitations really made me wanna leave the force but because I had to feed my dogs, I had to endure.  What I could not endure was the lack of respect and insensitivity on my superiors part.

I had an emergency one day where I was only told last minute that my brother-in-law was getting married and I had to take the afternoon day off.  I had already worked for 8hrs that day.  I approached my supervisor and told him about my situation.  He then asked me back: "Which is more important?? Your work or your family?" Obviously I would choose family as would any other normal human being.  I told him that I chose family and he then told me "Ok you better remember this day cos you chose family over work and I have to work extra to cover you." Now, what the hell does tat mean? He already didn't have me around for the last 8hrs cos I was assigned to another duty so what does another 4hrs of me not being around will cos any problems?  I told him that I would remember this day too for his insensitivity.  I brought the matter up to higher management but instead of investigating this matter, they chose to cover up for him because he was their main source of money-lending.  Once I came to know of the actual reasons, I decided on the spot that this was no place for me to continue. I threw in my resignation which was to be affected within 24hrs!!

Most people will think that I was rash in doing so..but till you were in my shoes, you'll know what it was like.  It's their loss not mine cos I was the one person who actually brought their reputation up back to where it was supposed to belong. So like I said..it's their loss not mine!

I also had another reason for leaving but will leave that for another time as it's much more complicated and one that involves my adopted mother.

It's the weekend now...so enjoy yourself everyone and stay safe.......Semper fi

Since 2007.....

Well, life in 2007 was not not bad...I left Nparks and got a job as an administrative assistant with a shipping company that was run and ruled by chinese educated bosses.  Left after 3 months because all they cared about was money and not the welfare of their staff.

Anyway, call of the wild overcame me and I joined the zoo as a zookeeper. I enjoyed my first few months there but was slowly being eaten away by their policies.  When my recruiter/curator left, it was another asshole that took over.  Let's name him "Bolo".  Bolo never liked me from the start and was always trying his very best to put me down.  Only problem was he never had the damn guts to say it in my face, always going to my supervisor and in turn my supervisor came to tell me. Bolo was really like a piece of wrinkled ass who thinks he owns the place.  I was also rather put off with the ideas of feeding live chickens/chicks to animals who are never ever going to be released back into the wild.  These are caged animals who have lost their instinct to hunt, attack and kill.  These are animals that humans put on exhibits for people to see and for the organization to earn money.  Am not against any animals in the zoo cos that is also one way to educate people on the animal's way of life in the hope that humans will understand them better and stop poaching them for the so-called medicinal purposes.  However, putting a live animal into the den for the hunter to chase is kinda of ridiculous bearing in mind the small yard for it to actually chase and for the prey to eventually die a slow death. I however managed to curb my emotions and continued to work there until eventually injury decided to play a part.

I had too many injuries during my stint at the zoo to the extend of having 2 operations.  The last one was the final straw for me so I decided to get out while I could......only to jump into another stupid area in 2010...(more of that later).

During this period, my only joy and happiness were my dogs....Sam, Max, Tyson, Calu, Casey and Lucky.  I have a live-in ass who happens to so call himself as my BF, my hubby but does not behave any part of it.  He's more of a jack-ass who always think he's right, smart and a good planner! Go to Hell!!  Most of the time, I'll confide in my dogs cos I don't trust him one single bit.  The only reason why I'm still with him is cos his mother made me promise to take care of him forever and I never break my promises.  However, he does his own thing and goes his own way and I do mine.  Like right now..am going to watch NCIS........will continue another day.......Semper fi

 

Lost but not gone forever

Thought I lost this blog since the last time I was in here was in 2007. A lot has happened these last few years, things have gotten ugly and at times out of hand but I survived and here I am back again.

There is just so much pent up inside me that I need to let it out before I lose my mind....how and where do I start is another thing....bear with me while I try to recollect my thoughts and pen it down.

I won't start today yet though but will do so in the next few days........so please bear with me........semper fi
