work is such a chore,because everyone starts going off for holidays at the end of the school holidays to avoid the holiday peak period. i had to come in for work every single day just to cover these shifts, a spare tyre as you call it. unlike the rest, i didnt have a fixed work schedule. i was called in on days when someone else couldnt work- trust me, i have heard more than just the usual reasons that people use to call in and not turn up at work.
i have been up as early as 7-8am every day just to prepare for work. this week alone, i have taken shifts that belonged once to school kids who worked in the day, during the holidays. now, their shifts are up for the taking, but no one else wants to take their shifts, they already have their hands full with school, let alone a job- so ann is back to square one, hiring people.
working in dk doesnt feel the same as it did when the rest were still working. i have lost touch with friends that used to work there and who have made the place a better environment to work in, a great boss was lost to another job on the basis of a higher pay and the price of donuts have risen quite a bit. when i learnt about this job, it wasnt really profits that mattered, but 2.00 for a small donut- now that's a rip off. i cant even afford lunch to be above 5.00, let alone spending frivously on donuts. i cant even believe that im standing behind those counters and selling those donuts- i must be insane!
we had a laugh at wendy's on monday after shopping -i thought i'll just try my luck with a centre's discount- applicable to all working patrons in carousel. instead of proof for one, i showed my name badges for both jobs, dk and subway. the lady serving us had a laugh. but i guess one was good enough and she could only grant me one discount. i should have carried around my hungry jack's nametag as well. the more the merrier;D
i've been really tired for the past week. not only had i a job to show up to during the day, i had to train by evening. the women's doubles are on this saturday and after the flu bug finally decided to give me a break, i've been trying to bring my stamina back on track. although i havent made the time but the distance- im satisfied, 2-2.5km a day is good enough not to tire my legs out the next day.
try this girls, i've asked almost all of my dk friends. it's one of my favourite.
in order of importance, rank these three traits;
1) money
2) looks
3) personality
i've got loads of different answers from my friends. after you have revealed your choice, state a few reasons as to why you have ranked them in that way. i bet you'll have a laugh when i let you know mine.
ps: everyone wants their guy to have a hot bod, so do i, unless of course, you prefer a guy with some blubbler on him- thats fine, everyone to allowed to have different tastes. well, i love my dad, blubber and all- it's just the beer you see.
have fun;D
