silly, bitchy, lil me ::
Saw uncle lim sitting at the foot of the staircase of the mrt station while on the way to work today. *yay* Tis really comforting to see a familiar face when you know, when you are obviously so not looking forward to work. Then he promised to dine in the cafe after his interview with this professional counselling company for this local community project. *double yay-though there was a bit of blackmailing afterwards* Managed to practise my taking of orders on him and his friend, who well, incidentally turned out to be my former schoolmate ala guy-with-curly-hair-same-class-with-nice-backview-guy!! *triple yay*
The start of the day is going smoothly and well... even distributing flyers was a breeze and the manager thought I'd thrown the whole stack of flyers away cos I'd finished distributing 'too fast'. Well, stuff like that do get done fast. Especially so if a super polite, award winning courtesey distributor is doing it. Think only 1 in 10 people rejected my flyers. *heh* Erm, or maybe its because they are just interested in the food or the place Im standing is a good spot and many people just whizzed my way. Anyway, I digress, that's not the point...
Allow me to continue...
Until, the erm, [drums roll] perpetually-blackfaced-bitch comes appears.
A little bit of background, this perpetually-blackfaced-bitch(PB2) was initially a meet/hug-occasionally-getalong-pretty-nicely friend who dragged me into this current f&b position because they are seriously short of workers and are still looking for full timers. Not wanting to waste the time I have, since the boss who commissioned me to work on the Church website is away in US, I took on this f&b job after finishing the website. That boss kinda promised me a full time job after I'd finished the website, hence the lil gap.
Okay, back to the PB2. Really, she's _really_ getting on my nerves. Im totally new to the f&b industry and well, there's a lot to learn. I just don't understand why she has to be so delibrate and sneaky, waiting for me to make mistakes so that she can _politely_ correct me. Like the previous answering handphone incident and numerous. And thank me for listening to her? C'mon loh, get real, I thought we are friends. Sorry..its 'were' past tense now.
If we were friends, you would at least lunch with me right at very least on the first day? Even on account that you introduced me to the workplace, you would at very least do the above? Leave me to tag after you and your termed 'scandal-mc-moustached-guy' when we went to distribute flyers on the 2nd/3rd day? Telling me that I'd missed an act of service only after I'd finished serving the customer? Why didn't you want to tell me beforehand? I thought customer service doesn't work this way. [ Sorry getting a bit incoherent here, but you get what I mean right?] you know plain well that each worker is only entitled a meal i.e either pasta or soup a day, why did you reply indignantly that I should go ask the manager whether I can have extra soup after pasta? Then have the manager telling me rather sternly [cos he probably thinks Im this gian peng person] that I am only entitled to type of food a day. I am NOT, I repeat, NOT responsible for your black face okay! NOR I am responsible for the fact that I get along well with your foes, the new guy whom you intro-ed to work too!
If you have issues with the bartender and the other waitress, that doesn't mean I need to have issues with them too, even though you did explicitly tell me that your partial intention to drag me to work here is to find 'more of your own people'. That doesn't give you the right to show me a black face when I talk to them, nor talking in a more friendly manner to the customers you are serving. We don't get tips loh. *duh*
Okie, that sums up the rantings for the past one week. This is bloggerathy man. I feel MUCH better.
Anyway, thank God for uncle lim and uncle tay [since guy-with-curly-hair-same-class-with-nice-backview-guy cannot be used cos his hair ain't as curly as last time], whose presence preserved my sanity for the moment. Thankies!!!!! *lalala*
Anyway, pardon the organisation error, be glad that the ranting you'd read is updated as of this afternoon. So I shan't elaborate the lousy afternoon portion any longer.
Dinner was fantastic. ^^ Am so happy around my friends [torre, jewel, ya-gong] whom I can whine, bitch, pig out with. The food was great! [Seafood platter, Fish and Chips! *yum* *still feeling euphoric from it*] Am sorry if I have to subject you all to -points above- But I really love you guys loadz and of course, feefay too who called yesterday[all the way from US]! Miss your presence. If you were here, you probably could shut the crap up from the next table who were making a lot of noise! *evil grin* kids..
Got a short skirt and spagh top from them. Hmm, looks really sporty, but I think the skirt is a bit too short to wear out. :P Erm, dearies, I already have 12 spagh tops.. so don't waste money, cos I don't wear them by themselves often. Nevertheless, really appreciate it. Will try to be more erm.. 'hip' and not be lazy next time when I do out with you guys. Thanks so much!!! *hugs*
eh, anti climax of the day, I'd left my hp at the restuarant. How cock eyed can I get?! Eeks.
