1/ Bought my first digital album on iTunes: Clazziquai's Blessed. No surprise there, I'm fairly obsessed with their songs and musical style at the moment.
2/ I just made a fairly dumb move. Sleepily saying stupid honest affairs to the manager - only I can do that. Because I can't lie when my brain just isn't functionally at its optimum when I'm groggy and tired. Looks like I feel so obliged to follow instructions I'll even pick up the phone even though it's so early in the morning.
3/ I feel that writing this entire point out slightly alleviates the frustration that I sometimes feel.
In fast food, you always get good and bad customers. Lately, I've been getting the latter a lot so I'm going to say that customers piss me off so much sometimes. Honestly. The six types of customers I do not like encountering:
a) Indecisive adults and especially, indecisive children
b) The people who order something and then change their minds and want a refund.
c) The people who ask to pay half cash and card. Thanks so much for giving me a timer of three hundred seconds...most horrible customer ever.
d) People who get angry at you when the menu cannot accommodate for their tastes. Blame the corporation not me.
e) People who make you remake "flat" drinks at least 3 times.
f) Rude brats who ask for water without buying something and when I refuse, citing company protocol, haughtily demand me to call the manager.
It's no wonder that more often than not, I feel immensely relieved when I'm done for the day.
And thus I admire anyone who frequently deals with these situations and always exudes a happy bubbly persona for the entire duration of work because I certainly can't.
4/ Moving on. Holidays are the only time where I get to read a lot. And I've missed doing that so much. Read five books in as many days - finally finished the 'Hunger Games' trilogy, re-read 'Falling Leaves' and 'A Thousand Splendid Suns' which made me tear up when Laila opened the letter Jalil wrote to Mariam. Such a wonderful book.
5/ Catch up session with Bitter! Reuben Hills lunch, frequenting T2, Pitt St, free Sharetea thanks to her awesome coupons :) and a pledge to myself.
Lychee, Lime & Coconut $8.50 |
"The not Reuben" $18. A lot more appetizing than it looks. |
Pretty rad T2 set up. |
My mum is such an amazing woman with endless patience for her clumsy daughter. Realising more and more that I'm truly so lucky to have her. Love her so much. |
Love these two lines. |
