the perils of my occupation

Betcha u don't know that a valuer's job can be quite a risky one.. here're jus some of the many dangers lurking us poor valuers' lives:

1) The weather: As we are mostly mobile due to the tonns of inspections we have to make, we are exposed to the elements of the unpredictable weather. It can sometimes be so bad that even the use of the umbrella is senseless.

2) The Ugly Singaporeans: Clients sometimes think that they are the kings of the world. Valuers are jus like any other professions.. we work 5 days and have proper working hours. Yet, these clients think that we are being paid tens of thousands of dollars, demanded us to inspect only on weekends or after hours. Of course, I will try not to adhere to such request. Comon' ! I'm not paid for working OT, especially on weekends!! But sometimes, there is still not much choice to these persistant brats of the society.

3) Sexual Harassment: Yup, I've been sexually harassed several times.... by man's best friends. Dog owners usually let their dogs run free as they fail to neglect the fact that not everyone likes to be in contact with their furry friends. The smaller dogs will lick your toes while the bigger ones, well, will climb as high as the waist (never mind the details)>
