And so I've resigned

I resigned from my job last night. Yes, that job where I am the Account Representative. I thought that job would have worked out. But I was wrong. In the end, I couldn't compromise my time for myself to do this crazy ass of a job.

Monday morning came and so did the weekly meeting. On that meeting, I was bombarded with out-of-this-world tasks such as completing 100+ phone calls, talking to 30 CEOs or HR Managers, making 5 client visits, etc. all in one day! There's no way in hell I can do that. If I did, then that will mean I'll be leaving the office at around 9 PM everyday! There's just no way I'm gonna do that.

And so I tendered my resignation effective today, December 7, 2004. My boss tried to negotiate with me just to have me stay but I was just not in the mood to do that. I didn't want to stay. I didn't really like the job I was doing. I hate sales. Sales is not for me. Calling up people to offer them our services and receiving rude rejections is just not my idea of fun.

So there. I resigned. And Ms. Chinita already tendered hers, too. We both just wanted to leave. We just couldn't stand our boss for giving us too much to do. It was just unbelievable. The amount of work is just unbearable. Could you imagine coming home at 9 PM everyday?!

Oh, another thing that I really didn't take well is the fact that our boss cut off the communication lines between Ms. Chinita and me. We communicate via AOL Instant Messenger and yesterday, we couldn't IM each other anymore. She probably thinks we're developing feelings for each other because we go for lunch together everyday. She fears that if we become lovers, it will be bad for business. Well, a big W for that.

Now, she lost both of us. Haha. Perfect timing, really. Just when they were thinking of expanding, we left. And at the same time, we found separate jobs for ourselves. I just got hired in a global furniture company based in San Leandro, CA and I'm starting on Monday.

Regarding Macy's, well, I'm quitting that too. No more sales for me. No more kissing ass. No more dealing with annoying customers and pretending to be nice when you're just not in the right mood to be nice (I'm nice most of the time, though, but then again, it depends on my mood). I'm sick of it and I'm through with that.

If there was one nice thing about my previous job, I guess it's meeting Ms. Chinita. She has really been a great friend and a wonderful lunch buddy. Glad to have known her.

Oh, this doesn't mean goodbye for us yet. We're still gonna celebrate our resignation, hahaha!
