Hari ini aku bangun dengan perasaan ingin menampar diri sendiri.

Semalam dalam beberapa sesi perbualan telefon.

Perbualan 1:

Lelaki Cool: I have a good and a bad news. Which one do you prefer first?

Aku: Oh shit, I hate to choose. Up to you then. Just hit me.

Lelaki Cool: (gelak besar). Okay, the bad news, yesterdays was your last session with us. No more.

Aku: (diam).

Lelaki Cool: The good news, you're accepted and welcome to this agency!!

Aku: "Ah, cliché", bisik aku dalam hati.

Perbualan 2:

Wanita 1: Okay I need your details okay, you full name, home address, ic number for you contract.

Aku: "Sure sure, so the name is...."

Wanita: So you can take your contract tomorrow lah. You can come around 9:30 I'll be here okay. And congratulations, finally you made it after all the interviews.

Hari ini.

Pagi-pagi lagi telefon berbunyi. Memang la aku tak jawab. I hate people calling early in the morning. Don't you have a life? Don't you have better things to do dari telefon aku pagi-pagi seawal pukul 9? Aku pasangkan mode silent dan sambung tidur. Aku ada banyak benda untuk dilakukan hari ini. Aku perlukan tidur aku. Tidur yang secukupnya. 8 jam sehari. Bermakna pukul 12 (paling awal) baru aku akan bangun.

Telefon bergetar lagi.

Aku: "Hello," jawab aku dalam nada so not interested to say hello.

Dia: Where are you?

Aku: Kelana Jaya.

Dia: What? You're not coming today? Kan I told you take the contract and work. Today is your first day of work la dear.

Aku: (terdiam).

Dia: Hello.. hello? Are you still there..?

Okay, can someone stab me now?
