1. I wanted a job that requires me to talk and think
2. I wanted a job that did not require me to sell any product
3. I wanted a job that pays well
4. I don’t mind having to work my ass off to earn more money

I’ve only been a full fledge worker for a week, but I don’t know will I make it through… I thought working is like playing a MMORPG and I likened it to a game where players have to farm for money and items, and that’s what us MMORPG players are good at - farming and grinding. However, I soon find out that my job is more like Dinner Dash - 9 hours a day, 5 days a week.

MMORPG - Massive Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game

Farming - killing a certain monster or monster boss repeatedly to “farm” for powerful items.

Grinding - killing monster of your level for long period of time to gain EXP (experience points) so you can level up

Dinner Dash - A game that requires you to click on items frantically in a complicated sequence

I used to be able to grind for 10 over hours a day… grind till my head is numb and my fingers aching.

1. Imagine playing Dinner Dash 8 to 9 hours a day
2. I feel I’m loaning my brain to the company - my mind is totally stoned when I go home every night
3. I might have to wear glasses (NO!!!!!!) because I stare at the computer screen and small fonts on paper everyday
4. There’s only one break inbetween working. I don’t understand why so many people get to use MSN during work. Well, I don’t even have the time to check my handphone for SMS during work.
5. There’s always too much work.
6. There’s always not enough time
7. I have to OT for at least an hour everyday to finish my work
8. I get time off while farming in MMORPGs, but this job requires my 100% concentration
9. I think I might have ADD (Attention Deficit Disorder). I can’t focus on doing things the whole day!

I still think that I’ve got exactly the job I asked for. God must really love me to have answered every single criteria I look for in a job. I didn’t expect working to be tougher than grinding and farming and managing a guild of forty over 15 year olds. I’m not sure if I’m able to work in this job for long, but maybe some pay increment might keep me working
