free donuts, free lunch. they say kindness begets kindness. we gave out free donuts and i got a free lunch in return. today was a little different at work- in order to promote our new additions to the shelves (the new donut sensations), we gave out free donuts to all those who work within carousel. it was all part of kerrie's idea to convert these group of potential customers into regular buyers.
everyone had a different favourite but the votes were on cookies and cream and white chocolate glazing with blueberry fillings. i prefer the latter. the blueberry oozing is to die for- it just melts into your mouth along with the sweetness of cadbury's white chocolate. before we even reached the other end of carousel, we ran out of the popular donuts and decided to head back.
i had a free lunch- no cost, no credit. richard (subway) made me a ham sub free of charge and aston (donut king) finally gave in to my persuasion- a bottle of water as i left mine at kerrie's end. now, that is what i call a free lunch ;D
now because i work as a temporary for dk these days since they werent giving me enough hours to cope with the school holidays- i had to look for work, from which i found subway, i had no idea this would happen any other day.
my two dk bosses started an argument as to who would have me to work at their end. -_ -'' ann claimed that she has already booked me for next week and she needed someone reliable to cover kim's shift at the foodcourt area. kerrie, on the other hand, need me to fill in so that at least there would be one person to tend the shop. they considered sophia but at the mention of her name- both of them didnt want to hire her- ann stating that sophia would hurt her business as she irritates customers with misunderstandings caused by her poor language skills. kerrie couldnt afford to hire her at her end as sophia has not been exposed to the other shops's bearings (the environment, coffee machine and the till).
after work, i went to the club to help jo and the rest load the boats up on the trailer so that they could be brought to the racing course tommorrow morning. there was the boats to load from sculls to quads, the oars and other techical equipment such as the loudspeaker and blue foam pads another both the trailer and jo's 4 wheel drive.
the race plan is as follows:Women's Division E, 4x (Quad) + with a coxrace division: WE4x+
race no. : 16
time: 11.29am
location: champion lakes
lane no. 6
racing boat(quad): osphrey
racing attire: racing suits and training wear
to bring: $8, umbrella, cap, extra change of clothes
this time, there's hardly any room for mistakes as we would be rowing in a quad- more stability so there is no excuse to capsize. having made ourselves a name in the first Women's Doubles Grade D race for capsizing 4m from the finishing line, everyone including our coach would have high hopes for this race, everyone including me.
i want not to win the race, but to perform the best.
i want not the glory from the race, but the satisfaction from achieving.
i want not the trophy to bring home, as they would only collect dust,
but the memories that would last through a lifetime.
i want us girls to do well for tommorrow's race.
go curtin women!
