Before I went to work, my dad asked me if I wanna go out for lunch, but I told him I have work.
At the road show again yesterday for work, noon to night. It was a hot and sunny day but since we’re working I guess I had nothing to complain about. This time the black boss wasn’t too bossy, after trying to push some blames to moo again the previous week but failed. He probably feel guilty (my guess) and tried to be friendly and make it seems he is one of the victim (nice try). Since it’s already not the first time, we very well know what’s going on in our mind. It was a lucky day though, part of the reason was because we were busy out of no reason and he didn’t have much time to boss us around too. I am glad it turned out this way coz I wasn’t feeling too well and was giving a “smelly” face all day.
Some customers were nerve snapping though, no offence but some of the foreign workers didn’t understand English. One of it went like that.
CS= customer
Moo = ZanGuo
CS : card cannot use no register.
Moo : must register 1st, who is the one who serve you just now
CS: nodding head
Moo : which one is the one who serve you just now ( point all the registering staff and ask him to point one out)
CS: nods head again
Moo: WHICH one, WHO is the one who register for you, WHO???? (doing the same actions above)
CS: nods head many times
Moo : WHO!!!!!!!!!!! is the one who REGISTER for YOU? WHICH ONE!!!( about to cry )
CS: nods head continuously.
Moo : ( looks over to me with a -_-“ expression like his soul is about to leave his body)
Me: was so angry but laughing internally, lucky I wasn’t the one serving him.
That’s not all, there is a few more that can’t understand, the word Queue doesn’t seems to be in their dictionary. It makes it hard for me and I have to shout and scold and explain and they could ask the same question ten more times just because they want to get something for free when they shouldn’t. You can tell them “NO” twenty times and they still come back 5 minutes later to ask, you can recognize the same person. Can I kill him? Finally after I made moo talk to him before he stick by the rules, moo told him the same way I told him, I was more strict and fierce and angry actually, but maybe because I am a girl or maybe because I don’t look fierce enough, they just won’t listen to me. Bloody hell #$%!#%#$%&#%^* if only shooting them with air bullet guns won’t get me fired.
I came back home from work yesterday night and notice my dad went back to Indo, ½ of me always hope he would go back earlier so that I won’t feel the pressure from him about moo. But after he left, that other ½ of me was reacting a little bit, I miss having someone around to just ask me out for lunch, and someone who watch tv alone at the living room hoping to have me accompany him. I don’t know, this father thing, he is starting to act a little bit more like it, maybe it’s his age. It’s something I wished for long ago, until I became used to living without it. Now that it’s here, I feel a little awkward yet I miss it. It’s not even about bringing him to vivo city to shop the hell out of it anymore, I don’t know what is going on and I really hate this feeling. *shove it into the back of my mind*
Ahem…
Something interesting happen today at work, I made some mistake, given the wrong information out and caused some disputes. I even gave a bad reaction when the manager told me about my mistake, instead of saying sorry, I went “hee hee”, smart move. He just went “I thought you knew everything” and slam his file at me. Not the angry way but the “hai yah youuuu” way. I was suppose to know everything but it wasn’t a complete briefing I got from the training I attended anyway, the trainer themselves didn’t know all the things completely coz they were also filled in the last minute. Was good that I made mistake though, at least I am not standing there the whole day just talking to customers and making my day this way. Making mistakes make the job a little bit more interesting, just right amount of mistake. With everything going smoothly it’s just too boring.
Another weird thing that happened today was during my lunch break, I always like to smoke at the square outside of OUB center and watch the big advertising television on one of the building. Never fails to get people who ask me for a min of my time for surveys, they are forever there, even on smoke breaks. You can spot them easily as they are always holding a pen and some papers on their hands, the funny thing is,you can always think of different way to lighten up your day, since you are servicing people the whole day, you can always make fun of people who wants to be polite to you. Think of tease lines and see their reaction.
Surveyor : Can I have a min of your time to do some blah blah blah blah blah ( not listening most the time)
Me : look at them with a brightest smile you can give but don’t answer any of their question.
Surveyor : What beauty products are you using now?
Me: (big bright smile)*blink blink*
Surveyor : how much are you willing to spend in a month for beauty products
Me: the reaction above
Surveyor : it’s ok thank you

Surveyor : *walking towards you* before he say anything at all..
Me: ” Sorry no”, put your hand palm facing him and looks another way until he leave.

Donation : *walks to you with a tin can* before he say anything at all..
Me: *silent* show him my ciggy pack, my lighter, pull out my mobile from my back pocket and raise my both hands high and wave * no money body language*

Surveyor : Can I have a ……….
Me : offer her a stick of my ciggy

Some above I’ve tried, some yet to try coz I can’t bring myself to be so evil.
Today though, a woman approach me without a tin in her hand and no paper and pen in her hand, just a bag and she appeared to be waiting for a friend, came and sit beside me. She told me that my facial reading seems interesting and would like to tell my fortune for me for a few bucks, I of coz rejected her, this time I was caught unprepared, I didn’t expect someone would come to be wanting to tell my fortune, was kind of surprised. I tried rejected with a lot of excuse, going to work, smoking finish, break ending soon and she kept insisting. So I told her that I don’t believe in such things, and she went on mumbling some things about my fortune, didn’t hear it properly because of the background noise. I just told her to save the trouble and walk off to smash my ciggy.
I love having my fortune told actually, but just not in the mood today, didn’t want someone to tell me I will be rich in the future and smash my will to earn some $. That’s not the main reason though, I just really don’t want to know how I will end up in the future. Feeling a little unsure and a bit of this and that… hhhmmm just having a 6 sense that after listening to anything misleading, whether it’s good or bad. It will break me down into bits and pieces at this point of my life. I know it, coz although I always say how I won’t be affected by fortune telling, but I am always thinking about it. So let’s not crumble into that.
