Sierra November India Papa Echo Romeo

Okay, so lately its been rather evident that I've been needing a job - both for money adn something productive to do during weekends. So i went job hunting for restaurants or anything related to the H&T course i'm doing. Now, the thing is, due to the fact that i went for the 789 job with An Ying, we've been working at/looking for the same place to work. Only difference is, she's working for exposure, i want money ...heheh $_$

So the first place we went to was a restaurant called "Good Evening Bankok" and they were mre than willing to hire us. Thing was, we werent really set on commiting, in hopes of getting a place with better pay. Okay, okay, I was hoping for better pay. Anyways, after that we went to Oneworld hotel to see if we could get a banqueting job, they said they'd call us the moment they had a function. Well, its been a month and i have yet to hear from them. So that concluded our first hunt for a job. The three of us (Me, An Ying, and David) were still jobless.

Round two. This time it was me, An Ying, and Ting Ling. We went to One utama agian and just started asking. We went to Soho and Italiennies for interviews, and they both gave us the same answer - we'll call you back. Well, we didn't expect to hear from them again. Onedays later, Soho calls An Ying up and tells us to show up on the nxt day (Sunday) for the job. well...yay? Okay, first day was as normal, clear tables and set them up. Unfortunately, i can't speak Cantonese...and thats the meduim here... T.T now i know how An Ying feels in an English speaking environtment.

Okay, i was miserable. i hated that place, the people were friendly, smiles and all, chatting with us during breaks, encouraging us. Thing was, i was out of my element. Its like telling Brian to become a Pro-wrestler. anyways, i had a feeling of dread the whole week, just thinking aout the place made my fuse shorter.

Anyway, on Thursday, just as i chucked my bag in the corner of my room, i got a call from An Ying. Italiannies wants us to come in on Friday to work. I thought she was crazy, we cant work for two joints. I guess it wasn't enough that they made me Chef of the day for the following week and that i had a job at a place i disliked on weekends...now she wants me to work for two joints and sacrifice my Fridays as well. Well, okay, she made a pont when she said we'd just try it out and pick the better of the two and just quit the one. Well, i liked Italiannies better. Ah!!! English! never missed it so much before.

Why i picked Italiannies over Soho? well, the pay is the same, the location is also pretty much the same, and they're both casual dining joints. But, apart from the language issue, Italiannies trained us better, and thus we may rise trough the ranks (hopefully) faster as well. Most of the people here are friendly, the managers (those whom i've met) are just as nice. Just don't piss em' off...(someone got fired today)

Well, i might just extend my work hours, and i'm already working on Fridays... there you go...thats what loving money does to you, i'm not so much a workoholic as i am a blowasmuchcashonfrivialitiesanduselessthingsasyoucan-A-holic..roflmao...go ahead, take teh ten minutes you need to see what that actually says...

p.s. okay, i understand that i have virtaully NO pictures on this sight, but the thing is, hwile i'm working or having fun, its a bit hard to take a pic, either that or its because i have no camera... so... es tut mir aber leid!...

CHEERS!!!
