I figure this has got to be the best place for me to voice my frustrations. Get it out of my system.

As a number of you know, Melvin resigned from his last job in August. And I encouraged his resignation. I did. He thoroughly hated working in that hellhole, there were no benefits whatsoever, the pay was bad, he had less than HALF the number of annual leave I was granted and he would often reach home much later than I did, despite only needing a 20minute travel time to/from work.

Why did he take up such a sucky job, then? I'm sure some of you must be wondering. Well, for someone who'd just graduated, this one-year contract looked prefect to gain some experience. The pay and leave may be low, but hey, it's just for a year.

It was only after a few months in the job that Melvin realised why the turnover rate was so high for his department (read:political old bitch). And he tried to stick it through the year. Until he got wind from HR that a certain political old bitch was trying to get him fired by complaining to HR about him. This political old bitch (POB) was from the same department, but was in charge of another team. Melvin doesn't even work with her =/ She apparently enjoys making life difficult for managers of other teams in the department, and HIS manager apparently made the POB look bad in front of the big boss. So he was, somehow or other, drawn into this unwillingly.

And so he left. Better to resign then to get fired, no?

and HERE'S MY MAIN RANT

Since then, Melvin Chong has done NOTHING. I repeat, NOTHING.
That bum hasn't even put in significant effort in looking for another job. He just rots away at home. God knows what he does.

I really don't see why I have to nag him night and day to do something so... essential. And most of the time, I wonder if that is the guy I'm going to marry? Then please. No thanks.
I'm not his mother. I refuse to keep telling him he has to do this and that, and fucking have to REMIND him the following day.

I have been understanding in his lack of success, telling him it can take a few months. I have been patient with him and thought perhaps, a month's break from work would be good for him. But to find out he has made NO EFFORT WHATSOEVER just PISSES ME OFF.

Shape up or ship out, Melvin. I have no tolerance for your fucking excuses.
