First Day of WERK.

I'm pooped.

I arrived too early (silly me... no key come early for what... teman security guard) and watched the proceedings of opening shop (which I will have to do on Saturday), unlocking the grille, turning on the switches, the Mac, the cash register, tidying up the place, entering new stock for the day, etc.

I realized there's more to do with admin work than actually selling... Which recently about twelve hours ago I discovered I suck at. *cry*

But my Boss Lady is real nice, she tells me what I'm doing wrong and what I should do instead without making me feel like I killed her mother. Which is how I usually feel since I'm pretty darn sensitive. :)

Today was like a whole crash course; I guess I'm actually writing this post to rewind and stuff.

I seriously don't know how I'll fare on Saturday, when Aida and Nicole aren't there!! E-mails and calls and scheduling and filing and crud... The concept of which I have yet to grasp. :S

I guess the best part of this is that I get to be a dork here, with the most competent, patient young people I have ever met, instead of being a dork at, say, PWC? (imagining myself there already hahah :P) There's a learning curve, and although everything's a little overwhelming at the moment, I can't be more thankful that it's in a pretty much complacent-er environment like The Gardens, and that the store's still pretty much in its infancy so I get to see its, um, development? I guess? Hahah.

Ooh but there's one thing I'm gonna hafta discuss with them... I most definitely have to run at 6, 'cause today I stayed in just half an hour later, and got lost just another half hour more... so I just came home at 9.30pm. Twelve hours of standing. (well, almost) Can die. And I hate ladies' shoes. Hate them hate them hate them. With a vengeance. Why can't we have comfy sports shoes =(

Anyhoo, much thanks to Cathy and Tracy *kissus your toesies* for their awesomeness and patience with the Ultimate Sotong of the Century (yours truly) and helping said Sotong to discover the right way back to Pasar Seni. :) You guys rock so hard. :)

Ooh guess what! I saw Mr. Gerrard at the store today! (I knew I'd recognise that booty anywhere! lol don't tell.) He was mean. He didn't buy nothin'. *pout*

But I saw him with Alana's Common Law lecturer!! They are adorables. :3 I didn't know she was his chick.

We get like, loads of married/engaged/happily in love and planning a whole year ahead of the big day people asking for the big jobs.

I never knew there were so many happily married people traipsing through The Gardens alone. o.0

...I have a feeling this job is gonna leave me somewhat depressed. When's MY man gonna spend $5000 on cupcakes just for thank-you-for-coming gifts for MY wedding?!?!

Hmph. Leehombaby better cough up the green. Or else.
