* days 7-9 . 071207-091207 [all A] .
was engaged in gift wrapping during night time , which happened to be the peak period where gift wrapping requests came in fast and furious .this was also the case for the ensuing weekend where I had to do afternoon shift on both days as well .fortunately the "Hoyu girl" (simply put , she is a part time hair dye promoter) was around to help out after her shift ended at 8 on ALL three days .customers wise , not much of an issue as I gradually grew accustomed to the products available here .after the deluge of new stock that came in for the earlier part of the week , the abovementioned three days saw very little stock arrivals .which actually wasn't a good thing cause I had little to do besides the gift wrapping and every minute that passed seemed to take hours .another familiar face passed by Watsons today - Jia Qi , one of my library juniors from xinmin sec .time really flies and she had already completed her 'O's this year .----------------------------------------------------------------------* 101207 . off day . (:
well , didn't like it to be so early in the week as it meant that I had to work for the rest of the week , but oh what the heck , it's better than nothing .so I went bunking today .was split on whether to play maple or audition .eventually I settled for the latter cause most people at bunk were playing audition anyway .and I didn't regret my decision as I kept winning and winning all the way .----------------------------------------------------------------------* day 10 . 111207 [M] .nothing interesting to talk about , just the same old routine .got a scolding from the manager for reaching at almost 10 - she insisted I must be there by 9.30 , half an hour before official opening hours .also met another new female colleague today , whose name shan't be revealed as usual .from what I observed , she was a master at gift wrapping .by the time I finished wrapping one simple rectangular gift , she had already completed two and moving on to her third .definitely , there was much to learn from her indeed .but sadly she would only be around for two weeks .in addition , for the first time since I started working , I was able to end early .the manager seemed to have something on later in the day and at around 5.30 , she told me I could go back .of course , this won't be the case everyday though .----------------------------------------------------------------------* day 11 . today . 121207 [M] .yes , it was morning shift again for me today .and I haven't learnt yesterday's lesson , obviously .sauntered in only at around 9.50 . >.<only the assistant store manager was among my shift though .and she just closed one eye , evidence of the different work styles adopted by the manager in contrast to her assistant .[the 9.30 rule must be observed tomorrow no matter what though , cause shift allocation would be exactly like day 10 . sian]more familiar faces dropped by Watsons today - my secondary school friends Zhi Chen , Tong Hern and Yuhe .there was one customer who didn't like the way I wrapped her gift .lols .[if you think my wrapping sucks I could have just given you the wrapping paper for you to go back to wrap yourself , since you think I cannot make it .]well , obviously I didn't say that to the customer , just showing you my train of thought at that particular moment .quite a considerable amount of new stock today but by the time my shift was over , three-quarters of the stock had already been processed .----------------------------------------------------------------------my time spent at Watsons so far have been relatively meaningful .it's like you get to encounter many different kinds of people out there and it's much better than doing nothing other than playing online games at home .stay tuned for more updates after tomorrow's shift . (:
