Work and Dreams~
Just started work officially as a *palmist* for about 1 plus week. On the first day I felt really weird standing at the dispensary, esp when my partner, L, was ard, since he is definitely the more senior and number 1 in command. But soon, as the customer crowd starts to stream in, it seems like auto-pilot and I had no choice but to remain in the dispensary. =)
Found myself asking the same questions to different customers over n over again... sounding like a broken record... haha.. but no choice... standard qns...
the shop is definitely busy busy busy! had to eat lunch at 4+, dinner at 9+ when i'm doing full shift... and ordering and packing never never stops! I need a ka kia to pack me boxes of chlorphen everyday...
met some nasty customers.. sometimes i tink they r like sharks... super sharp sensors man... if u so much as ponder over their question for longer than 2-3sec, and they sense that teeny tiny bit of insecurity, u r dead... they will swallow u whole and walk all over ur head... *sigh*
i hope tat psychotic nut wears his skin off after applying the 8 tubes of hydrocortisone!!!!
soooo... being firm is the key man... firm firm firm! be fierce man!
of cos there r nice ones... those that don't mind waiting a little longer in the queue, don't mind tat i am rather blur sometimes... oh oh! an uncle bought me and my staff cakes! just becos i helped him to set his pedometer settings... (the pedometer was bought from W cos my shop did not have the stock) damn nice rite... =)
tink i'm having some communication breakdown w L thou... haha! cos sometimes he tells me stuff den i will mistake it for another thing... i am toooo blur!!! *sigh*
but he is sooo nice... he always tells me in a nice way.. "next time u can do this, it will help u to rem this n this" or "the tabs shld be packed like this, n the dates shld be changed, but it's ok, i have changed it alrdy, not a big prob"
Sometimes i feel like i'm letting him down! like i'm not up to standard n causing him more work instead of lightening his burden like tat... cos his previous partner was someone totally not blur! haha...

Today was the first day that all 7 of us were able to meet up after officially starting to work as a *palmist*...
Some were really happy w their locations, some were totally drained and getting depression... some were normal... guess i belong to e normal category... =)
