Job Tales of A Knight


Few words
: I don’t normally do this, but I will for today - Some stupid clerk of some university misread my brother's offer letter even after I triple check with him. We prepared everything and travel all the way there, but that stupid clerk regretfully comes out to make an apology saying he misread the letter. “GO DAI LA!”


ALKISAH...

There was a engineer knight who just come out from the academia. The knight then humbly submit his resume to every castles in his country with the hope of getting employed. Amazingly, just right after he graduated, a semiconductor company castle called for his service. With brave heart, he went through the numerous tests given by the King and by no time he was appointed as a QRA Knight in that castle. Being new to the castle, the King ordered his men to guide that knight. Each day, the knight went through boring hellish training in order to be capable to handle the customers’ complaint barbarian's attack.

The knight’s primary weapon would be his famous Microsoft Axe-cel, rumored that once used by Thor which is capable to calculate and plot millions of data into different charts and graphs. Wielding his Axe-cel, the barbarian is forced to distance themselves from the knight and this give the knight time to prepare excuses reasoning. To be honest, Axe-cel is already a familiar weapon to the knight; in fact, he had been using Axe-cel ever since he is in the academia. But of course, the purpose of wielding Axe-cel is so different now compare to merely for firewood chopping in the academia. The knight is also armed with Words-dom staff, Power-pointed lance and many more.

Also, every knight is blessed with a special ability by the Queen herself, and so does the new knight. He has granted with the skill to detect the country smallest defects with the help of a microscope lens. With that lens, the knight is able to see every minor crack up to 200 magnifications. For that reason too, the Queen has ordered the knight to train more just to master his new ability; that include his weekend. FML!

Above all that, the knight was also appointed to manage a team of operators soldiers. These soldiers is able to survive the most terrible scolding and still able to work for 12 hours a day with just a lunch or dinner break. The knight is truly amazed with the soldier's spirit, almost comparable to machine. With the aid from the supervisor head soldier and technicians lieutenants, luckily, everything goes just fine for the last two weeks. Of course every now and then, the soldiers will make some mistake. Once the mistake is sensed by the barbarians, they will start attacking the new knight without mercy. That’s the time when the knight start prepare statistic all sort of chanting with his Axe-cel to defend the castle; particularly himself.

Frankly speaking, the duty of the knight until today is still bearable, he only need to be on guard for 8 hours a day. Of course, the stingy King will not reward him more if he work overtime, but often it’s encouraged to work OT more by the royal family and maybe once in a blue moon, token of appreciation in term of medal will be given. So far, the job is still tolerable, but one thing the knight very beh tahan with is waking up early in the morning and drive his kancil ride his deer all the way to castle. It’s so tiring to wake up early, you know.

So if the King asked:

“Yes, you earned yours and please pay me now!”


Yours truly,
QRA Knight.
