thank you subway!finally, a job where there is no politics, great friends and a very generous boss. it's been a hell of a ride back in donut king, ann's being such a ms. bossy- she's getting on almost everyone's nerves other than the other boss, often taking breaks when its busy out there and making us do the whole load of work.
wendy, the co-owner of carousel subway offered me a job there after hearing about my limited shifts at donut king. she even joked that their subway uniform would be a whole lot better on my skin tone rather than the pink. the next day, i submitted in my resume. within a few days, i got a call from her, and she was happy to meet up with me to settle the shifts i would be doing.
i started work today. everyone was really nice and patient with me. i wasnt the only trainee there- there were others so it wasnt so intimidating in terms of expectations. being my very first day in a totally new environment- from making coffees and hot dogs to making sandwiches and wraps, everyone asked me how my experience was so far, everyone including wendy.
so far, the experience was great. i had really nice customers and great friends to work with. other than just a black sheep in the crowd- from which i had a scolding from just because i placed chillis all over this sub when he only wanted one on each end. wth! he scolded that i was deaf and dumb as i had asked him three times on what salads he wanted. two for getting right on what chillis he wanted- my god. only two and one on each side.
i love the cosy feeling of the environment and the generosity of our boss. for lunch break and before we end our shifts, we get to choose on whether we want to make ourselves a six or foot long sub, wrap or salad to take home or for lunch. i dont care if the pay isnt as good as donut king, but the whole experience was so much better than in the latter, even the number of shifts would be more.
yesterday was my lucky day, other than the trip i had on the slippery floor, a customer gave me a tip- this time it was 5.75 dollars worth in coins. even mark was jealous and he said it had something to do with my charm that was dangerous.
we had circuits this morning for training as the weather wasnt too good for a row in the morning. we didnt have enough crew members to row in a quad so it was settled for doubles but then again, rowing in doubles would be unsteady in the rocky waves. i got dizzy after the second round of circuits and we had to take a 5 min break for me to recover.
stupid period.
but thank goodness you came a week earlier,
i wouldnt risk it with my race next sat.
i need my strength for it.
