i'm a temporary full-time hougang point ntuc worker as from ytd.. started work ytd, from 2 to 10.20, coz each shift is 8 hrs n 20 min.. had mixed feelings during the job.. initially was still ok, i helped wendy, one of my bosses, to replenish stocks at the frozen sections.. but after a while my fingers became stiff and the coldness was striking pain in my fingers... didnt know that this could happen and i was slightly surprised.. den i struggled to replenish stocks, and wendy sort of realised this and said i'll get used to it some time, as she's already numb to it... den went around to help arrange the goods and check for the expiry dates.. that's de initial part of the job ytd...

my primary job for this couple of weeks up till xmas was to take the xmas orders for ham, turkey etc etc... in the afternoon i only took like 2 to 3 orders and after the arranging of goods i was totally bored, especially in the late afternoon and evening period.. oso, due to long period of standing, my legs suffered but i couldnt really sit coz that would be slacking around.. but de aunties that are guiding me are nice and kept telling me to sit, coz i'm new and not used to it... but i was totally sian during that period, as i was watching the clock all the time... i even had the intention to quit! =X but things become much busier and better at nite, i suppose becoz on weekdays ppl r released from work and so they can come at nite.. by contrast, i took like 7 to 8 orders at nite.. it was busy, but it was better than doing nth..

was quite paiseh, as i'm still not fully trained and so i duno a few stuff... but the customers didnt noe and so they expect u to be already fully trained.. so i was rather paiseh when i was left alone at the counter and they come and expect me to help them, when i duno how to! and their faces of annoyance bother me quite a bit when i told them they needa wait... but at nite the aunties taught me a little abt the stuff and let me try a little hands-on, although some customers r still not that happy as my movements r rather slow.. well, guess time will make it better.. den at nite, abt 1 hr b4 i ended my day at work, i went to do some admin stuff, which involves sending de xmas order to HQ.. was quite stressed, as wendy stresses that i cannot make a mistake abt the quantity i keyed in coz that will lead to major repercussions... so i needa double-check every order i keyed in..

in de end reached home at abt 1045, where i ended up real tired, with legs sore and my right wrist getting sore too... abt my right wrist getting sore i wasnt really sure why, as i didnt really do much tough stuff with my right hand.. mayb de coldness from the frozen section is attacking my old injury... but i got de thought of deciding not to work anymore ytd =/ coz i ended up real tired and damn sore.. but thinking of de aunties helping me, and wendy, my real nice boss, who even offered to help me safekeep my apron till saturday when i could bring it home to wash on sunday, my day off.. i guess i'll persevere on..

well, my mother going for a minor op 2day.. real minor i guess, coz she didnt hafta stay in the hospital after it.. but for wad i still duno, and cant really ask her abt it.. well, it's juz my character not to ask that much.. listen to wad others haf to say, but dun bother to press on asking if they nvr tell u... that pretty much sums up my character.. so, i'm keeping my fingers crossed for 2day...
