i almost died coughing this morning!!! everything was fine when i woke up at 7.30 to prepare go work... however, 3 minutes after i boarded the bus to je interchange, the 'cough bug' started irritating my throat so i had to cough it out right? well, you know how people, esp strangers get paranoid when a person start coughing non-stop with this sars thingy going around... argh... as much as i want to prevent myself from coughing all over, the 'bug' just wouldn't cooperate! i attempted to cough as softly as possible since i couldn't lower the frequency... and then... this guy who was sitting beside me actually moved to another seat! well, i know i can't blame him... when the bus finally reached the interchange... i was the first to get down... at least then i can better deal with the 'bug'... alright so i coughed till my throat no longer gets irritated.. (good thing there weren't many people at the interchange on a sunday morning...) yeah... 'cough bug' defeated... but only for the moment...
the second 'symphony' started shortly after i started work... since i forgot about my medicine when i left home... i tried my best to deal with the 'bug' with strepstils and honey water with lemon... which my mom taught... it worked! so happy... but then once again, it was shortlived... albert asked if i went for checkup blah blah blah... he scared i kena sars... wow... though i didn't go for checkup, i just said i did... if not i sure get tortured by his 'lecture' and all those 'logics'... wahaha... ben actually didn't believe i was sick... he thought i skipped work on mon wed and fri out of plain laziness... i got to know about this from andy, another part-timer at the cafe... haiz... couldn't care much what the hell he thinks lar...
well, work was okay... hmmm, rather busy for a sunday though... it would be much more manageable if i was working with jason... this stupid albert just refuses to move his arse out of the chair to come help... i pratically have to pull him (with the help of ben) to get him to work... i seriously think the management should sack him for the company's benefits man... as a part-timer who worked for like 3 mths... i think i can make drinks and cook better than him (he has been there more than a year)... anyway, i was relieved when jason came for work... not say i really like to work with him considering he has extreme mood swings but at least he helps... hmmm, i feel evil today... i shall show you how irritating albert gets...
scene: d'votre cafe - me the single soul at the counter... (customer walks in - a middle-aged man...) i: welcome! (man looks at menu... meanwhile another couple walks into cafe...) man: can i have 3 cafe latte and i lait take away? i: sure, that'll be $15.90. please take a seat, i'll bring them to you. man: thank you. i: welcome... (while taking the second order from the couple... a third group of people(4) came in... albert walks out... look left look right... WENT BACK TO KITCHEN!!!) customer: miss, i want a ice mocha with ice-cream... what's in four seasons pizza? i: erm, linen ham, olives, mushroom... customer: ok, i'll have that. i'll get another blognaise. oh, there's a complimentary drink right? i'll cancel the mocha...(mumbled to the friend) erm, i'm sorry but can i change my order? i: well, no problem... (so i finished taking 3 orders before starting making drinks. while i was making the drinks on the first receipt... albert walks out again...) i: albert, 2 four seasons pizza, 1 bolognaise, 1 soup, 1 brownie with ice-cream and 1 winter wonderland. albert: okay, i go tell ben...(he walks in) i: ALBERT! albert: yes? i: ben can see the orders from the printer in the kitchen... can you PLEASE help... take out the brownie... (albert reluctantly did as he was told... i finished making the drinks for take away.) i: sorry to keep you waiting... man: it's okay... thanks alot... can see you very busy...bye...(i returned him a smile) by the time i finished making all the drinks and settings and served them... albert was nowhere to be seen... i went to the kitchen... ben was cooking, albert with his arse stuck to the chair again, reading his newpaper... FUCKING BLOODY IDIOTIC SHIT!!!!!! so then, i went outside again... since there has to be at least 1 person at the counter... i saw this group af about 10 standing outside the cafe... i was like thinking shit shit shit... i went to the back... called albert to go out and take order... i: eh, albert, got 'mei nu' outside... quick go take their orders... albert: don't want lar... you go take lor... i see can liao... i: (thinking fuck you, i'm not going to do it) aiyah, i need go toilet... you help can notz? (he bo bian... so went out...) i dun give a shit so i stayed in the toilet for a long long time... too bad it was not long enough for him to finish making all the drinks and served them... haiz... just a little episode at work... how to tahan when you are working with such an idiot? i must be a saint man, when i face him at work... if not i'd have torn him into pieces and feed them to wild dogs...
anyway i stayed til about 7.30pm chatting with andy... that's when he told me about ben telling him we 2 girls give him alot of trouble... hee~ but seriously... ben is a real good manager... (other than the fact that he's abit the perverted) it's like he's so damn flexible with our schedule... thanks alot man... haha, we were just crapping around... exchanging gossips about the full timers... we were glad that the part-timers there (6 of us) are 'united'... haha, can anyhow gossip... keke~ andy helped me 'steal' 2 chicken pies when jason was behind smoking... foo stood at the door to help us keep a look out... haha, so i went home feeling happy, though tired...
received msg from ms kwan... my jc ct again... she said she really need help back at sa co-op, ask me go back help her... she'll pay me $5 per hour, 5 days a week... i told her i just cannot quit the cafe job at such a short notice... i suggested going back like 3 days a week to help her do accounts... she replied saying she will pay me $6 per hour instead... 5 days a week... i still negotiating with her... coz i think i don't want to quit the cafe job yet... moreover i don't really want to go back to sa and get involved in the office politics again... i've suffered enough during jc days... i wish to only remember the happy times i spent with fellow cca-mates... i dun wan to be dragged down to do accounts... discuss with teahers what policies to use... blah blah blah... ya, so even if now the pay she offer is $8 per hour i'll still consider...
