Headache, tongue ulcers, backache, painful hips, muscles contract, leg cramp - WHAT THE HELL DID I SIGN UP FOR? At the end of my contract, goodbye-forever Giant.
Back to my initial story, I have not been able to complain so much about anyone for my entire life, but here I have this one rocking makcik who just doesn't know the life of a newbie. If I were to go on about what had happened from Day 1 to Day 3, I would be out of breath already in a minute. So with that I have decided to turn a blind eye, deaf ears and with a very heavy mouth to thou-that-shall-not-be-named.
If asked to rate my stress level from 1 to 5, I'd be at at least 7! But me being the new-adult me, I will take this part of the job. There is always the first for everything, and nothing comes easy in this world. No pain, no gain.
Although there were some hiccups here and there, I must say the job have been very interesting so far. From attending to the different species of humans using all the different modes of payment doing their daily/weekly shopping, to the different offers and discounts and sizes, and all the way to the stupid purchase with purchase section. Especially the fruits and vegetables section: The bar codes are already enough hassle to remember. But what is even more annoying is that some papayas look like mangos and the loose veggies can be in the shape of a christmas tree! But with this, I have had some confidence that at the end of 3 months, I can really be an exemplary housewife! Watch out world, watch me.
New friends have been absolutely lovely, although we don't really talk using the mighty universal language. Ros cakap bahasa itik, I bahasa ayam, si mak-nenek bahasa burung - How convenient! She said "pen", we all heard "pey". She said "sign", we all heard "seh". From here, we realised that sign languages can actually work some miracles.
I've got too much to say, and too much that I want to share but this should be enough for now. I need to get plenty of rest for the weekends :((( But before I go,
here's the good news: I will be opening my own counter on Friday!
here's the bad news: I will be at my own counter ALONE on Friday!
OH NO HOLLY-MOLLY HELP ME PLEASE. My only saviour is the disco light. Please be my faithful guardian angel :)
