-The story so far
So it is the third day of work. Ystd, i went back to taking orders. Taking orders on the second day is really considered eceptionally good over at astons. Ofc, many were worried that i wld screw up so i had to undergo lots of verbal tests and have my seniors watch over my shoulder while i take the orders. I didnt really want to take but my supervisor forced me to..wierd huh. So after a few orders and i got used to the system, i tot 'Hey! this isnt so bad..maybe working here wasn't all that bad (refer to first day exp). Whats more, my leader commented i was hardworking infront of my supervisor...made me damn happy for the rest of the day.'
So today, i went in all happy. It proceeded quite smoothly. There were two new comers. Twin sisters, part-time. My supervisor actually asked me to train one of them i was like 'wth! im barely experienced..why pick me over the other staff? and worse..why me? why nt the other part-time?' So i had no choice but to train, or atleast i pushed everything to my senior. My happy day ended at the end of my first shift. I had to do the dishes again as someone 'minced their finger'. I was to replace that person. So i was like 'wtf!'. Lucky i got saved by my other supervisor. Or so i tot... My other supervisor was unhappy abt me taking orders. Coz new comers must spent atleast 3 days working to take orders. So i had to undergo an exam. I was like 'wth!!! i tot working then no need take exam.' And guess what? its upon 126...passing mark is 120. So i basically i failed..but not for the reasons u think. I failed coz i was darn careless..looks like im not fated for exams but the real thing. Taking orders, i barely made any mistake..when it came down to the paper, i screwed so badly..dun even bother asking abt open-ended qns. My fellow part-timer did hell lot better than me. Haiz, i wish my leaders didnt have so much faith in me..all their hopes pinned on me, and i let them down. Their punishment to let me take order? 4 glasses of soda water (Just so u dont know wat soda water is, it is not ice cream soda. It is the worst drink ever. Bitter but yet absolute no taste. Go buy a bottle of perrier and u will know.)
When i started my dinner shift, i was pulled in to do kitchen duty. At first i tot 'wtf dish-washing again?' But it didnt turn out to be dish-washing. They wanted me to prepare dishes. This deserves a bigger 'WTF!' The kitchen crew said they needed me but my other supervisor say i am supposed to take order. But, the kitchen crew were short of helpers due to the minced-hand incident, so i was dropped there. DURING DINNER RUSH! OMG! somehow i survived that ordeal, with the guidance and help of the kitchen crew. sure tiring, but fun. lol.
3 days of my first job. 3 different tasks..wat do they think i am? Superman?
didnt know there is a spelling check for blogging..quite cool.
