Scam

Sometimes, I felt like I am working a scam job. The amount I needed to pay could be about 100 now. If it was due to the lack of diligence, I would say it's ok. That is my fault and I will make sure I can improve with more precaution. As I did, then new ones popped up with no security at all. The condition gets more ridiculous each time that it felt like these were the traps being put there to get money from us. It felt so insecure and somehow didn't serve the purpose of a software anymore. Anyway, I kept the money on my pencil case just in case I got short again. When excess we give and when short we give... Not sure. New way of seeing things. If due to being careless and lack of precaution, no matter how much preparation you have made, it's in vain. Negligence was another and being too confident will also has its shortfall. Another was the customer. If they want to scam you, they can. If they want to help you, they can. God bless the really really good customers that we had. Not only did they not create trouble but saved us troubles too. Just by remembering the pump number and price correctly were big deals. There was one customer at the other counter that didn't know this. The one who came up to me for his payment, said with confidence so the person can hear his pump number and fuel price. He can even remember how many litres. He tried not to look at the other counter. Haha. He got voucher, it was all ready on his hand. His cards were already there. The transaction was fast and so that helped with not holding the queues. However, I do believe new customer won't know how it was done. For this, I would say it was bad marketing. Even the youtube video that I have found did not specify how it should be done. If I were a customer, probably, I would do the same thing. Either I learned it or I will never be a customer at all. It felt like a lot of work to do just to get fuel. Meanwhile, back at home, mine was pretty straightforward. Get to the pump, tell them the amount, pay and go. What was the problem, I cannot tell but I hope there is a point where things shall not be too much like daylight robbery.

Bank

 A bank asked me to apply for their job. I was a bit skeptical whether it was scam. After a few conversations, it seemed legit. They needed my updated resume. I didn’t have. Go back to my old canva, then dragged out the old one. I realised I have a Word document ones after I sent the pdf ones. I should have just used the Word document because it was the latest. Anyway, I don’t have finance background so I might not get it. Based on their requirements, I think there are lots of things I have not yet explored. However, if I can finish my task earlier, maybe I can go for a test or two to see what are the skills that I lacked of. I felt a bit off because I just kept on doing uwp… I also needed to back up against my current job because I felt insecure about it, based on the recent months I was there. I am not sure if they want me there just to solve few issues then once solved then don’t need me anymore. Because every moment I was there, I felt a bit like it. They are also spending quit...

Peculiar

 Not sure how I should feel. Good or bad. Mum used to be very good with tech. Well, yesterday, have spent two hours over the phone just to help her log in to my account. In the end, she only managed to download and update her Netflix app on her iPad. iPad actually a bit different from Android so she has lots of difficulty linking App Store is equivalent to Google Play… When I said search, she literally search by her eyes… I cannot help but laugh at myself. Programmer and code did the same. I am not around so I can only do these for her. Sigh… Should have gave her a tutorial during CNY…  My screen is back… The touch screen I bought previously so that it is easier for me to do work. The pc that I bought previously is a good investment in the end. Thank God or the manufacturer that both working fine so far.

Funny Things

 Scam has definitely affect everyone daily like never before. When my cousin got my number and wants to connect, she put a photo on whatsapp’s profile photo and also sent me her picture to verify she wasn’t a scammer. The fact is that scammers did that too. In fact the more professional the photo was, the more likely it is a scam. When I applied a job, I will also worry it is a scam. Especially no email and I cannot find much on the internet. The only thing that makes the interview sounded right was the interview ways of speaking and a more lifelike profile picture. I chose to believe it and if it hadn’t post on mycareersfuture, I wouldn’t have believe the job was legal when email has problem. I thought email was always the sign of legitimate business or scam. In 2024, anyone can doubt now. I can receive a legitimate email or message that was scam and also non-legitimate as not scam… How inconvenient so I treated all as a scam. Better safe than sorry. Most people fell to the scam i...
