when i first gotten my work schedule for the month of july, i was devastated. i only had 9 days of work and was later told that another part timer had 22 working days. my boss said that all part timers were given around 9 to 11 working days to be fair. how fair can this be ?
.
i thought to myself and felt that my month of july will be a very slacking and sad one. It was then i decided to look out for more jobs. went to different companies to register and start my events job.
 .
The first successful job that i went to was events catering at Vue 8. Didn't get to learn anything much there but saw the chef, eric koh. Kept walking throughout the whole event with a newly sprained ankle to give the guests drinks, collect the empty glasses and plates. Event ended at 11 pm but thankfully, it was located at pasir ris. .

The next successful job was the events catering job at Suntec. We were only required to put the food, drink, dessert and culinary into the boxes provided. Was then required to hand them out to the people that went for the talk. Ended my day with an hour of rest. Felt that the job was too slack till it appeared boring to me.
.
Next up was the event near the flyer. i didnt know that i had to serve the minister till the day itself. Learnt the way to serve the food and drinks in a fine western dining area. I have always wondered on how they staff are able to carry two plates with one hand. Observed the way they did ytd and finally knew how. The instructions from the top management to us was considered good but not the supervisors under him. All of them gave us different instructions and expected me to collect 8 plates within a minute all by myself although he initially claimed that they will collect the dirty plates together. the supervisor at my table did not know what is teamwork. Despite so, i felt that it was a good training. I learnt the way of serving in a fine dining area and noticed their bad management. It was a good learning point to me. Also, i noticed how he tried to lie to us. it was a bit disappointing but i was fine with the pay. we were paid to attend an on job training course. so why would i want to complain about the pay? ;)
.
For the next 4 weekends, i will be working at velocity for another events catering. i really wondered how the job will go. i hope that it wont be as tiring but more learning points for me ;)
.
Seeing how things turned out to be, i was thankful that my workplace gave me so little working place at first. It was because of this, i get to see S's true colours. Finally, i dont have to talk and entertain her even though i was initially abit wary about her. if i were able to see her poor working attitude just by a glance of how she handled the guests, why wouldnt those in the office see the same thing too? maybe they did but oh well, who cares ? It was also because of the little working days that i started requesting to work for more days and take as many working days and hours to be extended as possible. i finally had the chance to work at the operation side. Worked a longer number of hours in a day instead. blessing in disguise ;) Outside this working place, i get to use my "map" application more often. It really harnessed my ability to look at it quickly. It also gives me a chance to look at areas that i dont even get to walk past or visit. i get to learn things that i have always wondered about. that's a first hand experience. and the laughable thing is, i have 4 companies/bosses for this mth-- sentosa, manpower, alpha manpower, the eleventh services :)

and the most impt point it, there is always someone there to listen to my complains and experience. thankful for u being with me :)) hehe , my life is still considered good :))
