Ironman is a great movie to watch! I went to catch it yesterday with alloi. But I was held up at the office (damn it!) so I missed the first 10 minutes of the show, I think. Beautiful red and gold armour, gripping actions scenes, fantastic gadget performances and its also funny, especially Stark's machine assistant that helps him at his lab. There were several comical moments in the movie. The coolest thing I like about Ironman is the glowing pacemaker embedded in his chest to keep his heart alive. After the movie, alloi and I went to grab a bite. I was the first to finish my food as he talked a lot about his life setbacks, career and how he ended up in his current job. I admire his courage for going through so much. He seems to love his work now and was trying to get me to join him and try his company products. I was listening to him the whole night talking passionately about his job and why I should go into network marketing. I am still a skeptic when it comes to this particular profession. Though I appreciate his gesture, I don't really 
see myself in network marketing. I can still meet a lot of people in my current line of work. To be honest, I feel that his job is somewhat like sales. Although they need not literally sell the products as a salesperson and are only getting people to join the company, try the products, be a living testimony and refer the products to their friends, they are actually selling the idea that the business is a lucrative one and persuading people to join them. In a way, this is just like sales where you are promoting an idea/plan and not a product or service. You just need to be eloquent and its repetitive as you repeat the same idea to everyone. I prefer my line where we have to plan and implement activities, organise events, handle the media, encounter problems and troubleshoot the problems and evaluate your work. Its the experience and satisfaction that you gain at the end of the day that makes me want to continue my line of work. My salary may be little compared to someone in network marketing but I just want to be happy with what I like to do. I may not be able to provide as much as I want for my parents for now but I just want them to have a peaceful life at least. I am sure I will do better and give more to my family in time to come.
But alloi, I think you doing great!
My boss sent me another reminder yesterday to inform her of my decision on my confirmation. I told my HR about this and she also side with my boss's idea that the confirmation should come from both parties and not just on her. She told me I have to think through whether this job suits me or not. This is not helpful.....coming from the HR. However, I agree this is true but it is also unfair that I have to decide this on my own. My boss should also confirm my appointment base on my work performance and not solely on my acceptance of her working style. I mean everyone have different working styles and we bound to have clashes with each other's communication methods at work. Its whether you are willing to work on it and compromise. She is kind of implying that I have to leave if I don't accept her working style so is she trying to make me go out of job? This is unfair as I have been trying my best to perform and I feel that I have done a reasonable job with zero experience in this industry when I started. Anyway, we will know the answer tomorrow....
