Work NEW Opportunity

Today a good friend of mine, Mark (GM of XXXXXX Group of Companies), gave me a call around 3.30pm in the afternoon.

It started of as our normal chat about life in general, then proceeded to our usual "why are women so difficult to understand?" and "why women can get angry so suddenly one?" topics.

Well, Mark is a 50 year old dude, who calls me (and I call him) on occasions when we need to "find the answer" to lives' mysteries about women's unpredictable mood swings.

And we almost always come up with the same conclusion - women are from outer space.

Anyway, after chatting for about half an hour or so, we hung up. 5 minutes later, Mark called me back "Eh, the reason I called you just now was to ask whether you interested in applying for the post of Group Operation for YYYYYYYY Catering services company or not?"

What?"

"You know our boss bought over YYYYYYY Catering service last time right?"

"Yeah"

"Now he has 1 head office, which is the Baghdad one, and 7 branches across the country,

So he told him that we need a Group Operation to handle this Catering service Company now"

"Oh. Wow. What about the operation there now?" I asked.

"The operation lady here is up to her neck already cause she is handling XXXXXXX Shipping, XXXXXX Security, and the whole XXXXXX Group of Companies.

She is choking to death now with the new YYYYYYY Catering Service and the 7 branches"

"I see. So you want me to apply lah?" Pretending to be innocent there a bit lah.
Cannot sound too enthusiastic mah. Later he thinks I desperate or something, so gotta play it cool.

"Yeah. You interested or not?"

"Hmmm... yeah, can consider. How much is he offering?"

"See here, there are 8 branches, so I presume 1 branch is USXXXX, so 8 branches should get you USXXXX lah."

"That's about right, I guess. But the boss wanna pay that amount meh?"

"Well, just try lah. After all, if he wants a Group Operation he has to pay the right price for one right?"

"Oklah. You go tell him whatever you need to tell him, and that if he is willing to offer what you said, then I'll consider."

"Ok. Will let you know"

"Ya, you better let me know in advance k, cause I need to go cut my hair"

"Cut your hair?"

"Yeah man. My hair damn long now. So if the boss wanna interview me, I need to actually look like a Group Operationt material man. Cause right now, my Boss said I look like Demis Roces when he was young"

"Ha ha"

"That's what she thinks lah, but I prefer to think that I look like a Rocker lah"

I do, really.
