My week of new job!

Last  Wednesday is my first day in my new permanent job. I work in a Ice-cream Café called, Häagen Daz, in Leicester Square as Back of House staff. This whole week and next week are training weeks. They so far have taught me the name of the ice-cream and taste them, which have nearly 20 flavours. I learned how to make drink and other stuffs.

Well on the training week, i had made some mistake and yeah was blamed by the team leader who trained me. To be honest, sometimes it's not really my fault cos i can hardly understand what she told me. Her french accent is so strong. So i had to ask her twice, which may be made her think "i'm stupid". One more thing after being blame and she stood next to me to see how i worked, i couldn't do anything at all. I can't scoop the ice cream, the drink is a big mess, everything went wrong. Oh that was a nightmare. However, when she leave everything went back to normal.

What an enjoyable, interesting, and absolutely horrible day...

P.S. BlueWind also work with me, but she was fine and lucky cos she was not trained by the leader like me and when she make mistake that leader is nowhere around.

A week of hard-work!!

Wow!! Finally, it's over... I have finish the four days work today and so so happy. Totally, I work around 36 hours not included break... Hopefully they paid for the break as well like at Lord Cricket Ground. If they pay for the break, it will be enough money for this month rental... Lolzzz

This time, I also work at cricket ground but different stadium, Oval Cricket Ground. The work is a bit harder than the last one, but much more fun as i have made a couple of friends. There is one guys also Harry Potter fan. His name is Juan Pablo from Columbia. He brought the book to work everyday and read it during the break time. I liked to tease him a lot especially in telling him what is happen next in Harry Potter movie as he only read book 6 now... So funny...

Well, hopefully the agency call me to work this week so that i can earn more money during the summer cos it's nearly over now...

P.S. Hey I forgot to tell you how long I have a break. It 90 minutes... Lolz

Boring Week!

Oh man so bored nas... Why? cos this week no job! As I'm now working part-time with the agency, so it is not a permenent job where i will work every week. As this week, it is not really busy so the agency told me that they will try to find the job and contact me later.

They once try to place me for a permenent position, but as i'm on a student visa so i cannot work full time ban te... Yab! Hey tell you one thing about my work... My last assignment was at the Lord Cricket Ground, where prince Harry and William often come to play. The job at that place was really easy and simple... It was so fun working there. I didn't feel tired at all! I worked 11 hours that day but actually the net working time was only 5 hours or sth, cos there was nothing much to do so i just went to the back and had a seat and ate sth. The manager was so easy and kind... We can eat and drink what we like. Of course there is a limitation and restriction on the food we can eat!

Anyway the work was fun and easy. All i did was serve the food and drink. After that, stand around and chatting and eating... So fun... Hope to work at that place again... Lolzzz

My first salary!

Hey you know what? Of course you don't know..., cos I not yet told you what... haha

Ok ok, let's me get to the point! As you have seen the "Title", you might have guess that I have a job, but what kind of job?

Before I tell you what my job is, let's me tell you what my lecturer said. My business statistics lecturer told us it was good to have a part-time job during university years. Why? Because you can gain experience from life, you will know how hard it is to make money so you will not spend it mindlessly on unnecessary things. She said that salary and type of job were not important, what important was experiences. She even suggested us to work in a bar... Lol. Cos she said we can improve our language and learn how to socialise with other people.

My job is a part-time waiter at Place to Eat in John Lewis Shopping Centre. My duty is to clear the table, I am not taking food order, cos at that restaurant is half fast food and half formal restaurant. Sometimes, I work in the kitchen when there is not many customer outside. However, work in the kitchen is easier than outside, cos all I have to do is collect the cleaned plates and organise it. It is not so crowded on week days, but on weekends, OH MY GOD, people just flood in and out from 10am to 3pm.

My salary is weekly basic. It is £5.52 per hour. This week I just work for 11 hours so my salary is £60.72, deducted £1 for tax, so I get £59.72. They not give me cash, but cheque. So I have to go to the bank to withdraw it. I have attach the photo of my cheque, wanna see...

My personal advices about this job:

1. If you like "Eating", don work as a waiter/waitress

2. You have cannot eat while you working

3. You have to watch people eating while you serve them

4. ...
